same as me then, minus dsg that's all I wanted

 

Same here, everything I wanted comes as standard here plus the options are mainly driver aids.

pretty much. DCC was the only one that almost swayed me, but it was £20 extra a month,
if it was a PCP I would have gotten the sunroof and canton aswel but apparently the standard speakers are Ok ish

I have had a mess with my speakers and I think they are fine

good to know!

[bartek004]

Well...I had a chance to test drive vrs245 with standard speakers and that was one of the worst sound systems I have ever heard. I think only Impreza STI had worst. But there was a lovely engine sound to compensate. After watching few reviews I'm confident that upgraded sound system in not worth extra 500 pounds. But we all have different standards so it might be ok for others.

[Ursicles]

Might just swap the speakers for alpine ones and see if that improves things?

Really? Would that be the artificial engine noise? Pretty far from lovely.

There are not many cars which sound better than Subaru and it is a combination of boxer engine and exhaust.

Great sound, total PITA when you are just in your house early morning late night or several times a day and various sounding like that think everyone should share the joy as they just sit ticking over or leaving a junction and getting up to about 30mph.

Agreed ^
(However I also have to disagree, the v12 Merc engine they stuck in the Zonda F is incredible.)

Sits and awaites the arrival of the Exhaust noise Police................

An exaggeration surely?  Its massively better than the Grundig in my old 1999 Felicia and a clear improvement on the radio in a more recent Citroen C3 Picasso I regularly drive. Seriously though folks, I'm no ICE buff but I hadn't really noticed it being deficient.

Agreed. I think they are decent speakers. Im not an audio expert but they dont offend my ears.

I haven't heard one in the flesh, just from reviews I made the decision that it would be fine enough for me to use without upgrading the system.

Well as somebody said everyone has their own standards, I'm happy listening to MP3s over bluetooth through the TV sound bar at home (well it does have a subwoofer) but have paid extra for (factory) sound upgrades on other cars in the past.

I’ve been put off by upgraded sound systems my old alfa had bose and over the standard system the improvements were minimal and my mini has the Harmon Kardon system and that’s not great either but sure technology has moved leaps and bounds since 2004 haha

Talked to my dealer, Skoda have told him as it stands build week will be in April for delivery May 

 

There is the possibility of it being pulled in to a February build week but won't know for another 3-4 weeks.

 

Ah well, hopefully be worth the wait!

Lucky f*****!! Ordered about two weeks after you and have to wait an extra 5 months.

[1BODGER]

Well that's amazing chewie.. Ordered mine the 1st week of October Same colour same spec although a hatchback.

But dates been put back to May. There doesn't seem to be any logical  pattern to when you ordered your car to when it arrives. Lost for words .
