Have my quote from the dealer and it states electric seats.

Got an answer today, they are looking into it, cause the 2019 model has electric seat as option. But for me it doesn't matter since it's included in my quote and also from my original config on the skoda site.

Some mixed pictures. The car is built 201809 and got it's approval 2018-09-20

Moon white is the color, chrome exhausts, 

Love the digital display

Yeah my knowledge of Swedish Spec is non existent but, you've got virtual cockpit (MY19) & two working exhausts (MY18) 

 

So I'm not sure exactly what you have but, I,'m sure in time you'll grow to love it

I love it as it is, just upset that I don't get what I thought I bought

Virtual cockpit was available at the back end of MY18 in some markets (CZ for example) 

 

It may have twin exhausts but chrome exhaust tips and "carbon fibre" trim suggest its not a MY18 245 as we in the UK know it though.

Yes the cockpit could be ordered with some manual work, no fixed option. Dealer claims it's a MY19 therfore no electric seats.

Let's turn this on its head.....has anyone actually seen a MY19 VRS (TSi) with a single exhaust?   I know the press release said it would have it but has it been seen in the metal?

Wouldn't make it through the new mpg/emissions test without a GPF which means single exhaust outlet

Reading about these filters suggests they're located as close as possible to the engine (typically pre cat), so it doesn't really make any sense that they'd dictate a single exit exhaust if that is the case, the exhaust splits almost at the back of the car doesn't it?

Really? Can't see how it follows automatically that the GPF requires a single pipe.  Is your thinking based on anything other than the diesel having a DPF and one pipe? (And that MY19 press release of course). 

 

There is more evidence of  MY19 with two pipes than one so far for my money.

Why make such a negative statement if it isn't true ?

Well maybe the howls of anguish on motoring forums changed their minds. 

 

When I think about it wasn't it an internal document we saw, not really intended for public consumption?

I think proper MY19s are single pipe as per that internal MY19 Skoda doc.. so we're agreeing.

I 'should' be one of the first to know and be able to confirm.. still awaiting preparing dealer contact with docs/delivery date options.. they should have the car this week I was told.

Says on this Document it's a single Exhaust.

Good grief what a load a wibbling about whether a car has one exhaust pipe or two!

 

Who cares! All I & most people care is how the car looks like, performs/handles and the reliability factor, I really don't care if it has one, two, three or ten exhaust pipes!

 

Just buy one and enjoy it. Because your not going to be looking at the back of it much, just the inside and the bonnet in normal everyday use.

Agreed, really makes no difference to me I didn't cancel my order in disgust when I found out lol I can only laugh at people putting this much effort into knocking a spec sheet.

Think its just a case of " My d1cks bigger than yours "   

 

 

Ps.     My 230 has 2 pipes

But the only people who've seen a real in the metal recently delivered VRS say its got two.

Completely agree, despite contributing to the debate.  Cheapest to replace would be my preference.  If two was an option at signifcant additional cost that didn't actually improve performance how many of us would tick that box?

Good luck too you all, shame about the single exhaust due to the GPF

Who would buy a petrol Vrs when in the winter ANYONE behind you will think you bought the diesel with the single exhaust. Think I will keep my twin 3" backboxes.

Mine's bigger than yours and that's a fact 75mm across all the way from the downpipe, and it will never rust and never needs replacing.

Exhausts are like LEGS, lose one and it tends to upset the balance (the look from behind).

I was told today my MY2019 vRS 245 is now in the UK and ships to the preparing dealer next week. Told approx time to be delivered to me hopefully in 7-10 days. Made me feel a little more confident given the WLTP delays.

Who else has one on order or any approx dates yet?

Will I be the first on Briskoda?

What a change of yesteryear when cars rolled off a production line and stored in a field or disused airfield until a dealer wants one. I have never had a car specially made and ordered for me. Must be a great feeling
