Apr sale now on

I would be fairly sure that the extra warranty (years 4 and 5) would be insured by VAG Australia through an insurance company. It's unlikely that they would carry the risk themselves. You'll probably find that the policy cost is based on Audi or VW historical costs as there would be no data available in Australia for Skoda history.

How are you finding traction now with the added "punch" ?? Have you looked at possibly fitting a whiteline Anti-lift kit to help with traction?? http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_...=KCA316&page=1

Hi Dazag Good point , always been aware of its ability to break traction especially on take off out of corners , but you learn its limits which are now magnified , but if you drive sensibly its not a problem , you feel it coming and just back off .

Interesting, i spent 4 hours testing a superb wagon v6 AWD a couple of weeks ago up and down some hilly B roads in the adelaide hills , cannot break traction , goes like stink , but hunts like hell for a lower gear at every corner , or in manual mode you have to change down .

The RS now has more torque than the V6, and on hills it just powers on relentlessly no need to change down .

The torque is so good that 6th feels like 4th when you overtake , less gear changes , and had the economy is actually better than pre APR .

I will check out whiteline , thanks

You have to remember the Superb V6 is not a sporting model car.. its a Luxury car.. Anyone expecting it to out do a Octavia vRS in the hills is dreaming as its nearly 500kg heavier.
Ive driven nearly 2000 klms in my Superb V6 and its no Octavia vRS, its something totally different. But I would trust the Superb on the B roads, in the hills every day, where the Octavia I would only trust in the Dry.

Yep , but the V6 does handle like a sporting car , very grippy indeed , and quick , but it has to change down more frequently because of the weight/torque factor , its very close to an R36 which is a sports wagon indeed .

Biggest difference i noticed was the RS lower fuel consumption , identical route , driving quick , 8.35l v 12.8l .

Traction in the RS/APR is a problem in the wet and on dry when moving off at corners if you push like a looney , on the move 40kph up no problem at all unless very wet .
