New VRS 245 owner - Advise

Featured Replies

Package deals differs from region to region, f.e. we get only 18'' wheels without DCC.  I got a big surprise when I received my vRS 245. It didn't get alcantara seats which i was promised, it had a little bit of alcantara on the side where you sit and rest was canvas.  Should have called it pure canvas seats. Also front grill now is chromed in RS package by default which looks like ****. I asked to replace the grill to black and dealer gave new premium winter tyres and called it a day. Dealer didn't know what will they get from Czechs so they made false promises. :/ I ordered car this August, got the car in October which was a bit fishy. I'm not angry or sad because I got vRS with Y type exhaust, digital instrument panel and without PTF(petroleum filter) for what I'm grateful. Starting from M19 there will be only one exhaust, PTF and reduced HP on vRS so before you order ask the dealer to reply to you via email what will you get if you order, because after they have delivered the car it's hard to argue if you don't have any proof. Cheerz.

UK MY19 245s have zero reduction in power actually an increase as it replaces the MY18 230 models and still has twin exhausts, this has been discussed at length and many people proved wrong. I have the car to prove it. :) the seats are identical to yours but UK has black pack standard now so no tacky chrome grill.

You are talking about MY18 vRS 245. I'm talking about next year model starting from 1th January. Lookup in forum, someone uploaded all the changes for all Skoda models for next year.

No he's definitely talking about the MY19 UK spec vRS. You haven't been able to order the MY18 spec vRS 245 for about a year now.
