Ouch! 7 months is a long time to wait. I'm not sure I'd have the patience

[CanberravRS]

Out of Choice... waiting till the current lease is up to maximise FBT and breaking the lease early is expensive.
Id rather have it as soon as it arrives. But all good.. I have the vRS in the meantime.. so i cant complain.

[dsgfh]

Ah, that's a whole different story then Sounded worrying for getting them into the country for a second there.

[TuNeS]

what a beautiful car. Looking forward to pics!

[Transporter]

Congratulations mate, ... good choice.
Is 4Motion standard or optional?

[CanberravRS]

The V6 has the Haldex 4x4 with the new Series 4 version as standard. As the V6 would be nasty if it was FWD only.

So same as the R36 drive-line effectively, but skoda haven't tuned the Donk as much. Seems to be allot smoother in its power-band than the R36 I test drove.

[dsgfh]

Smoother? Test Drove? Sounds like skoda needs to update their web site to declare it in the country now :-O

[CanberravRS]

Same drive line and configuration are in the liftback version.. as the wagon is the same body length.. the dynamics are the same.

So I didnt drive the Combi.. but it will drive the same as the 2010 model liftback V6 i drove.. "very impressed"
I think im the only person to order a V6 Wagon so far in this combination. So it will be nice having something unique for a while.

Congratulations.

I can tell you those V6 Liftbacks go hard. I've been in one with 4 other adults that was doing four wheel drifts at over 100kph onto the straight on a test track and getting up near 200kph at the end of the straight. They may not appear to be tuned but they go hard if pushed.

[CanberravRS]

Thanks K1W1, there have been so many positive comments around the world from the media including china and india where they rate it higher than the 6cyl Subarus, Honda's and Toyota's.. and here in Aus we have not seen the combi yet, for real.. one of the best reviews ive seen for the Australian models is this one.. YouTube - Skoda Superb Combi review where it starts out explaining the FWD 4cyl version and ends up with the v6 handling and raw performance... Love the sound.. I dont know what skoda do.. but the R36 standard doesnt sound as good. Skoda did the same with the 2.0lt Turbo in my vRS.. sounds so much better than a GTI in standard trim.

still 7 months till i get my hands on it.

Congrats! Looks like the v6 Superb Combi is going to be a brilliant car!

[Jake02]

That V6, and please excuse my explicitness, sounds orgasmic! Just like the VW Golf R32 (which I know it's the same basic engine but still). One of the best V6 noises in production today. I'm not sure I could wait until November, but I know how fabulous the Octy RS is so it's no biggie. CanberravRS, you must be one of the first second Skoda owners in Australia!

And btw, what does the 'Style Pack' come with?

[CanberravRS]

Hmmm possibly, I might have to ask the dealer if he knows?

The Style pack is a Small spoiler kit for front and rear bumpers and a wing for the top of the rear door, just sets the car aside a bit more, and with the luxon wheels it will just look Superb! hahaha..

Oh gawd thats such a bad pun!

You must have been at the Skoda corporate drive day last year??? Great day
