Nothing weird about that trim, the larger screen was available prior to the facelift.

 

And if serviced correctly that DSG should be as reliable as any other.  It's the 7 speed dry-clutch DSG boxes VAG used in the smaller engines which proved problematic, the 2.0tdi  has the  wet-clutch 6-speed DSG.

Columbus would have been optional as were the electric drivers seat. Alloy wheels look aftermarket however.:nod:

Not sure my 2013 Octavia was a manual SE and my 2015 Vrs was DSG with paddles.:nod:

Think it was possible to pay extra from the factory for the 3 spoke supersport wheel with shift paddles. Looks like your car had a few nice options when ordered new.:thumbup:

Your 3 spoke steering wheel is the same as my 2013 VRS, if that helps explain anything.

I Had a 63 plate Elegance spec MkIII, it had the 3-spoke wheel too.

3 spoke wheel with paddles and Columbus were optional extras from launch, nothing unusual there but those wheels are from an Audi A6.
