Skoda Superb Combi V6 Ordered.

[Calais]

Sounds like an awesome spec you have ordered up!

Your right on the V6 too, sounds pretty sweet.

Might be a long 7 months..................

[CanberravRS]

Too long.. but I made the choice to maximise the lease on my existing vRS.

Either way its win win.

Nice one Giles!

[CanberravRS]

Thanks Liam.. cant wait

I was looking at some press pics of the Superb Combi last night, it's a pretty nice looking car.

[CanberravRS]

yeah its the pick of the Superb range.. And going from the mini to a wagon.. I certainly like the functionality of a wagon.. And from driving the v6 4x4 2010 model sedan i drove it will perform nicely.

Not really into racing around any more as I was.. And the old 74 (turbo NGV) mini will be on the road soon enough to look after blatting around.

Well I've ordered my next Skoda...

Skoda Octavia Elegance Wagon 3.6 VR6 TSI FSI 191kW DSG 4X4
Storm Blue Metallic Paint
Glamour Leather Interior - Ivory
3 spoke Multi-Function Steering wheel
Onyx Carpet
Sports Suspension
Style Kit
Bluetooth
Tow Bar
Luxon Wheels

Planned Delivery will be November sometime.

Is “style-pack” available across the range or just for 4x4?
What is list price?

Hey CanberravRS,

You mentioned 'Glamour Leather' - how does that differ to the standard leather in the car?
I'm finalising the specs on a V6 wagon before ordering.

So far I'm looking at:
Black Metalic
Sunroof
Auto Tailgate (to get the mrs' buy-in)
Sports Suspension
Paddle Shift wheel (although I prefer the 4 spoke wheel, but I like the paddles)
Roller Blinds for rear windows
Bluetooth
MDI
I'd really like the body kit but can't get any other photo's than the one on your profile. I believe it's also V expensive too!

I've been told 3 month wait if I order now, sounds like I might be having my leg pulled?

By special request, the Elegance version may be ordered
with the Emory (Alcantara) or Glamour (leather) interior
trim

Style pack is across the range. Price, i cant remember the list price, I certainly didn't pay that.

No the 3 month wait is due to the Roof... have you driven a VW with the panoramic roof.. I drove a golf wagon which has the same panoramic roof and driving during the middle of the day, the sun was repeatedly blinding me with the blind shut.. so i canned that in my order.

Interesting. I had been pondering how the panoramic sunroof & car would cope with the heat of the Australian summer (I know how faded our lounge room rug is after just one summer). I hadn't considered glare from the roof. A shame, since I thought it would give the car a very "airy" feel. Must see if I can find a car with it optioned somewhere & try it out.

Solution. Get the sunroof tinted. I know a couple of people who've had the sunroofs in their GTI's done. I don't know that I could be bothered with the wagon if it didn't have the panoramic roof. It definately makes the cabin more open and "airy". Still, each to their own. It's an individual choice.

I considered a lot of things on the car, and as I regularly put a fishing Kayak on my roof after it being in the salt water, it drips onto the roof a bit and I saw the amount of channels/gaps etc I would have to regularly clean and all of these things added up to a big no on the panoramic roof. A quick wash of a full metal roof is a lot easier. I guess if i had chosen the dark leather interior as well i would have considered the roof, but with the ivory glamour interior there is a substantial amount of lightness inside the cabin.

As for the earlier questions by Fez and Swiz the style kit fitted and painted is under $1300 for a front spoiler/rear diffuser and larger rear wing. A lot cheaper than many other body kit offerings on vehicles like BMW/Audi that can cost 5k plus.

I think you've made the right decision, particularly given, as you say, the "lightness" of the ivory trim. My choice, at this stage, would be for Candy White with black interior. I've always had a preference for having a sunroof but I will certainly look into the impact the panoramic roof makes before ordering. I wonder if you can get the 18" Themisto wheels WITHOUT having the sports suspension?
