Yes exactly - I totally lucked out.

Whilst still a rare failure this thread is worth a read so you are aware of any early tell-tale signs...

Err thanks, I think haha!

Will have a read. I know my new car has 12 month warranty and has had single service, by skoda at 13K. So hopefully I'll be ok

So tomorrow morning I am flying to Edinburgh to collect my new car. Really excited! Bit nervous as I have never even test driven a superb let alone the one I've bought but I'm happy with my purchase. 450 mile road trip home via family in Doncaster back to South Wales. Happy days! I love new car day

Sat in the airport after getting up at 345am. Ouch. Long day for me

Update??

Well what a long day that was.

Got to Edinburgh just after 745 and by 910 I had paid for the car and was on my way. What a delight it is too. Managed 38mpg over 450 miles - and I stopped off in Doncaster to see some family on the way back.

Got home around 930 last night.

By far the best car I've bought, I am thrilled with it. Goes like a rocket!

Glad to hear that, sounds like it was worth the early start then!

Did home to Brackley yesterday over Summer Wine roads to M1 going and M40/M6/M60 back averaged 46mpg happy with that.

46! Is that in a 1.8? (I'm on mobile can't see your signature etc if it is there of course)

Really glad you like your Superb!

 

I've just been in a similar position to you; my Superb is being delivered tomorrow after a few years of owning a 55 plate Octavia. I also had the option for a big road trip, but instead went for the dealer delivery option! It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one buying a car I've never seen or driven...

You will love it.

Still pretty good for a big car
