Sweet looking ride. It's great to see people finally get their cars after the horrendous wait we all have to endure.
Hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

Got an update from the dealer on mine this week. Ordered it wk45, now scheduled for build mid Jan. He said their last boat only took 4 weeks... seems strange that the time on the water can be so variable but I guess I haven't a clue about what variables there are.. does it just depend what else is on the boat and where it's going?

4 weeks must be like an express boat!
Brisbane was the 10th stop for mine, and each stop was effectively 2 days - getting tugged into port, docking, then unloading, pilot ship back out. So more stops = more time. At 2 days a hit, mine took effectively 18 days extra over a direct ship. Actual shipping time was just over a month (about 5-6 weeks) so 4 weeks is easily do-able.2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT

Skoda Aus has updated all their online brochures for the Octavia. RVC seems to be standard for all models now except Ambition.Walking Contradiction...

Yep... On everything built from wk45 is what the dealer told me.. Someone else around here posted a scan of the page with the new kit back then (a lot more concise than trying to decipher all those dots in the brochure).2007 Golf 2.0 TDI Comfortline DSG/ESP

The Octavia has been eliminated in round one of this year's Wheels COTY citing the poor ride, poor equipment levels and the acoustic boom. Bit of a shame given that on paper it should have been everything last year's winner has (Mk7 Golf), and more.Comment

Poor equipment levels? I bet the Mazda 6 made it through, despite being both more expensive and less equipment than Octavia......
I don't get the love/hate relationship car mags seem to have with the Octavia. Motoring groups like racq/nrma etc love it and say the polar opposite.
I'm happy with my purchase as it suits me better than any other car on the market for under 50k.Last edited by GTR27; 21-12-2014, 02:35 PM.2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT

Wheels assesses the range as a whole, whereas Drive seems to have focused on one particular spec.
The issues with spec were directed at the Ambition model, having missed out on cruise control, centre arm rest and rear vents when compared with the cheaper Golf.
The Mazda 6 was released early last year so would not have been included.Comment
