I am thinking seriously about placing an order for a Roomster on Sept 23rd, I'm definatley going for comfort as theres no air con on the classic, and everything on the elegance can be retroffited to the comfort. The real, real snag is that from what I have seen the 1.6 will not be offered with a tiptronic gearbox until some time after the launch. I must have the Auto box,

Basically I would have to ask them to go out of their way to make a car which they haven't released yet, at least not in this country. Are they likely to tell me to Foxtrot Oscar, or will they be able to sort anything out given that Ill be giving them about 13k?

My Octavia is worth 7k too, which is quite a pleasing result:D

If the car is not launched with the auto box, then you will have a Scottish Football Association chance of getting it, unless you want to pay big bucks for a custom order like that.

How much do they charge for a custom order, I wouldn't mind a few hundred quid to get an auto box a bit earlier than planned, but anything other than that then they will have to keep it

you would have to ask Skoda UK direct.

Okay, I'll send them and E-mail and ask,

I also want the queens teeth embedded in the grille

you will probably have as much chance to be honest, but if you don't ask you don't get

Just Incase anyone is interested, I have spoken to Skoda Customer services.

The Bottom line is the 1.6 will be avaliable with a tiptronic automatic trasnsmission and it will be avalaible "Next Year", with no exact dates avaliable:(

Read the news today. DSG on it´s way to 1.9TDI. First pic in Paris autoshow.

The UK Roomster brochure that Lorna sent me today says the 1.6 Auto will be available "late 2006"
