Taking delivery of an Octavia vRS

[mrjubei]

Only done about 45km since picking it up this afternoon... everything is very cool and I'm loving it so far. I've got the Columbus system with the Canton upgrade - but somewhat confused as to why there is no DAB..
Here she is:

I'll post some better photos tomorrow as soon as I get a chance to take some..

DAB is not an option here in Aus

but somewhat confused as to why there is no DAB..
..

not offered in AU - never has been.

I'm not too fussed about the lack of DAB... there is so much kit to play with as it is.. I feel like a kid in a candy store...

DAB was taken off the UK specs list about 6 months into the arrival of the car to the EU and UK markets.... EU still gets DAB....

It's not missed.. there's so much on the Columbus as it is...
I do like the idea about MirrorLink though, I'm going to do some homework on it.. I hope it is something that can be updated on my current system...

Pick it up from Richmond Skoda by any chance? That room looks very familiar.

[Reichter]

99% sure it is Richmond Skoda.

[mrjubei]

Yep.. Richmond Skoda..

Picked up the car over the weekend, couldn't be happier.
The dealer has been taking care of me, Took me 2 weeks to get the car from the day I put my deposit down, as I was lucky the car was someone else's order, the person changed his mind and wanted a blue instead of white, so I took over.

I bought my Skoda there when they had just moved in and that was still under construction. That back area was supposed to be where the Skoda only servicing was done but they convinced them that their Audi workshop would work. They then had that as the used car area, but then ditched that idea. My former car which was traded in sat there for about 3 days and was sold.

Mine was delivered in the showroom itself, ie the used it as a display model up until I picked it up...back then it was a pretty basic pickup affair, just the car, no gifts etc. Hyundai were much the same, Ringwood and Penfold Mazda still set the standard for hampers, wine, flowers etc.

I picked up my car from Pennant Hill Skoda, no gifts from them either, I heard Lexus is the best at customer service, especially the Chatswood one, you get flowers/Wine for car delivery, even if you go for a service, you get free coffee and buffet in their lounge, it's ridiculous (in a good way).

but you are paying for it anyway. It's just more overhead that is non-core.
