Martin, this is similar to Waze it is mainly to notify about accidents, issues on road , police controls etc  online so you can select when you pas for example hidden police car and next user will get popup, it is polish app mainly with polish users but i would assume should also work in othe countries but this is user dependand if there are no active users then no covereg of informaiton.

they have also their own device see web page.

 

app works on Android as floating app so i use google maps and then info from Yanosik, or in car Android Auto on radio screen and yanosik on the phone.

Not all Superbs. On the 272 with the new 7 speed DSG it seems to be the opposite case, quoting the official figures:

206kw DSG6: 0-100km/h @ 5.8"
200kw DSG7: 0-100km/h @ 5.5"

Top speed of 250 km/h for both cars.

We know the 206kw was hitting 100km/h quicker than the official 5.8" quoted from Skoda, I've seen 5.5" and 5.4" measured with precision equipment, but also, the only measured 0-100km/h of the new 272 that I've seen so far showed 5.3". Haven't yet tested mine since it's still being run-in but judging by Skoda's modest figures, a few tenths off the official time as in the one example I saw already wouldn't come as a surprise.

I really don't think the new WLTP engine is (secretly) pushing more power than the previous one but the new gearbox is a real peach acceleration-wise, the first three gears are significantly closer packed than the DSG6 before it (which I drove for 2,5 years) and it shows when you're giving it some.

No idea what's going on with the TDI though and why/if it's slower than the previous model.
