Octavia Mk3 FL orders placed

[mo1965]

Has anyone ordered a FL vRS using Personal Contract Hire and what were their experiences. Did anyone use a lease company? I thought I would get some quotes prior to visiting local dealer and have obtained the following for a vRS, £320 pm over 36m plus 3m deposit, 10k mileage with following options:
Canton
Black pack
Alcantra with from heated seats
Spare wheel
Folding & heated wing mirrors
Meteor Grey

Just been told by a South coast dealer that the vRS aren't going to the production line till June...

However, just got told build week 21 or week commencing 22/5

I've ordered the FL vrs in meteor grey with red stitching, 2.0tdi no extras added. I've taken it on PCH on a 9+23 10k deal for £205pm. Bloody bargain IMO. They're taking my car in trade in too which is a bonus.

Well my vRS was picked up by its new owner this morning. 

 

Ive been given a rough delivery date if mid July. It's gonna be a looong wait.

Order in this afternoon. 

 

- vRS hatch, manual

-  race blue

-  winter pack & black design pack

 

Leasing this time. 

 

Changed my mind on the colour. Too many kids in the street and to much motorway driving for me to keep race blue looking tip top. Gone for moon white instead. Everything else remains the same.

Wow thats fast so, you got a pre-order that was already in the system I take it?

[Jcbl2]

Order books opened March 1st for vrs. I ordered my petrol estate on 10 March using an internet broker, still expecting 2nd week June although apparently Skoda often pull this forward later in the build cycle. They weren't accepting order amendments two weeks ago

It's been about 3 years since I last frequented Briskoda! Time flies. 

 

After a long wait for it to be built, I've spent the last 3 years in an Octy Estate VRS 2.0 TSI Manual in white. Loved the car, it's been trouble free, fast, fun and immensely useful. I had to choose something new, and looked at a number of different cars...just couldn't find anything that offered the same plus points as the VRS, so have gone for another one. My main issue with the TSI was fuel economy and towards the end I wasn't using it's performance, which was a waste. 

 

So, I've switched to the dark side and gone for a dirty diesel, which hopefully I'll be able to drive a bit more briskly without it costing me a fortune! On order is:

 

VRS TDI DSG Estate

Black Magic

Alcantara

Canton

Heated Seats

Tow Bar

Black Pack 

 

Eta: I forgot to mention, I'm not that bothered about the split lights. Yes, I prefer the old ones, but I don't think it's a big deal. It strikes me that the darker the car the less you notice the split between the lights. You also don't see it when you're driving! :-)

Hi All

 

Just had confirmation that my vRS was built yesterday, and is awaiting shipment to Grimsby.  Simpsons at Preston have said ship takes a while to fill (!), but in 2 weeks it will be on its way.

 

Ordered diesel with DSG, Rio Red and Black Design Package Plus.  No other options, I'm happy with what it comes with!

 

Can't wait to get back into one, the last was the best all rounder I've ever owned.  Hope this keeps up the tradition.

I can't get a definite answer - are electric folding heated auto dimming mirrors standard on the vrs or an option.

 

It's listed in the description as standard spec but also in the options list as an option. 

 

£175 sounds cheap for folding heated mirrors so I'm going to suggest they perhaps are standard, even the S gets these. So what do you get for £175?

 

I'm also considering front parking sensors, but if it already comes with rear as standard, why pay £350 for front AND rears - surely you just pay the extra to have fronts fitted as extra?

[MrTaylor]

After nearly three years with a Superb Estate diesel, I've put in a provisional order for a Vrs tsi dsg hatch with the following -

 

• meteor grey paint

• red stitching

• black design plus pack

 

I'm just waiting for the dealer to get back to me to confirm the order and let me know the build week

Brave! Hope you don't regret your move to diesel. 

 

Just my two-penneth, but the case for petrol is probably stronger than ever in the current climate. 

 

I totally get that Euro6 diesels are so much cleaner than older ones, but I worry that our legislators may not see it that way!

 

PS, welcome back to Briskoda & I don't mean to be mean & break your balls, I just can't see a good reason to go derv right now unless you do mega miles!

 

I really hope you love & enjoy your new car!

I had weeks of sleepless nights debating what to do about fuel. My main concern being that my very short journey to work (via school and nursery) would play havoc with a DPF. But I knew I'd regret a petrol VRS within a few months of ownership due to the expense of fuel - I'm used to 55-75mpg from my Mini Cooper D. 

My driving style steers mainly towards economy but being an advanced driver I want the option to go swiftly and enjoy a country road every now and again. I don't regret my decision to go diesel. 

I wasn't really overly concerned with what the government will or won't do, surely lorries and buses are more of a problem?

Each to their own I guess, as long as it's the right decision for individuals I don't see the point of scaremongering towards a petrol.

[paddy wagon]

Mine is now confirmed for build next week and delivery 4 weeks after that.

 

However my current lease doesn't go back until mid July so there will be a few weeks driving past the dealer every day on my way to work pining for it!

 

Ordered mid March.

[octavarium]

Just ordered this morning:

 Octavia combi 1.6 diesel in metalic black and crome window trims.

Other equipment: tinted windows, bolero, Canton sound and a few extras.

 

 

[G8VRS]

This will be my first Skoda and I am really looking forward to it, personally I think the new look is great, especially with the black design pack fitted.

 

Ordered on 12th March, 2017

 

VRS TDI DSG Hatch

Quartz Grey

Red Stitching

Black Design Pack

Spacesaver Spare

 

Car built, awaiting shipment to Grimsby. 

[vinom]

I also ordered the facelift model. It's the Style Business variant as we call that here in the Netherlands. Standard is has:

Canton, Full LED headlights, heated front seats, 17 inch Trius, electric dimmable side mirrors and rear mirror, front and rear parking sensors and a bunch more.

I addded: Blind Spot detection, Adaptive Cruise Assisant, Front Assisant, DAB Radio, Road Sign recognition. For our highways 1.0 TSI 115PK DSG is more than sufficient and it went for the Cappucino Beige colour.

 

Ordered april 18th, and it's supposed to be delivered end of june
