I was expecting the floodgates to open this month with regards to sales.

Now that's anticipation - a clairvoyant

Woohoo! Pano roof added officially to the order. Bad news is the order is still on hold due to tech pack and the availability issues with ACC/Front sensors........So that is why I dont have a build week......... Fingers crossed skoda oz sorts their **** out as I had the tech pack right from the get go in May, before any announcement there was restrictions. Will be very upset if they cut parts out of it......

My dealer has contacted me after being away for a month on holidays. My RS Wagen Octavia will be built this week on Thursday!

I have every option except Leather seats. There wasn't any detail given about the Adaptive Cruise Control holding the build back or that it won't be included so everything will be put in he car. I have it all!

[GTR27]

Yeah I have in writing they won't cut anything out, it just delays the build. At this rate I'll have waited as long as an rs order lol.....

[Dzl_Dubba]

Fingers crossed this means I'll be receiving a call soon too. Still looking at a Sept delivery MJKooLio?

[MJKooLio]

I have no idea...

But if the car comes in Oct... I cannot pick it up during that month.... meaning i'll have to wait till Nov!

No love for my order, but apparently allocation for the RS has been doubled. Not sure if this is just old news about the production increase at the factory though.

I've been really considering switching my order to a Wagon as there's reports that the Hatch still has booming issues, but it'd totally ruin my wait times.

What is this "booming" issue?

IMO, the wagon looks better. Having a more practical load space certainly helps too!. In a way, I hate reading this thread as I know there is still months and months of wait ahead for me

Reading on briskoda appears to show there are two issues that can cause booming. Rear shocks, and the spare wheel well. I'm personally going to dynamat the whole boot/wheel well/rear arches so not too concerned (although having a wagon means the issues are less likely)
