Hi, I'm currently awaiting delivery of a Superb estate SEL iV after 5 happy years with a focus ST Estate. New to Skoda (but had a Golf and Touran in the past) but need the space and pace without the silly price tags found elsewhere. 

 

And I reckon my labradors will enjoy the extra space! 

hi Jerry57

welcome to the forum

the superb will be a great improvement in comfort and space over the st.

have you got a delivery date yet. 😎

Hi Col, 

 

The original build date was week 23 (week starting 7 June) but the dealer has been told that the build is at stage 7 of 8 and completion is delayed by component shortage. So mid-July delivery looks like being August at the earliest or, better still, September for the new reg. 

 

I love my ST but the current model is just too expensive plus we need a bit more space for the dogs. Toss up between a Kodiaq and a Superb. The iV seemed the best in terms or power, costs, space and I'm not a great SUV fan. 

 

Looked at VW, AUDI, Merc etc but the Skoda strikes me as the equal of these supposedly higher quality makes. But I'm buying a car not a badge! 

I’ve just sold the fiesta st performance edition 11 months old for a grand more than I paid for it to the dealer I got it from!

I wanted the focus st estate but the price plus being told next year for availability kinda changed my mind

im waiting for my octavia vrs to be built

I’ve had different dates and different stages then it all changes

so I’m expecting it maybe September to November?

it doesn’t matter as we have my wife’s st and my work van so we can get around

the octavia boot is massive and I have two dogs so that was a definite incentive for me plus the spec and price via car configuration sites made it a no brainer 

I also looked at merc cls estate 

but they had to many miles on the clock for the same price as the Skoda
