New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[SkodaVIC]

Ditto, although mine is scheduled for Thursday afternoon, if Scott was your point of contact then it may be pushed forward. Enjoy the trip back home.

How'd you go? Not expecting an instant reply, I'll assume you're out enjoying the new ride!

I'm sure I'll see you around the local area.

All good, bit of rain, wind and lots of loud music. Initial thoughs, car more responsive than demo I drove. No lag. The ride was comfortable (very happy about this) on the 18 inch wheels , road noise less than the new Mazda 6 wagon and a great deal less than my wife's maxima (older model, with sport suspension, 18 inch wheels, even with new shockers the maxima caused me serious back pain). Fuel consumption around 8L/100km, this with me running in the engine while going uphill from Geelong to Ballarat. Columbus-canton system sounds great. Played hi def flac files from 64gb sdcard. Love the grey metal colour. Really enjoyed the trip home. I hope you have just as much if not more fun with your VRS tomorrow. Cheers

Hehe cheers mate, I've not long been home with mine - need to buy another SD Card for all my tunes aswell (or pinch one from the DSLR in the short term).

LOVE it! I know it's less power than my old Mazda 3 MPS, yet it feels alot sharper and responsive.

Here's mine:

Very nice, 18 hours till I have mine, but who's counting?

A very sharp looking car SkodaVIC . The black pack looks better on the Vrs compared to the standard trim. Have fun playing with all the gadgets. I actually got the snowflake alarm this morning warning about icy roads. Cool althought the heated seats were even better in the icy conditions.

Not long to go Tenyearguarantee , very exciting, they do look even nicer when it's your car your are walking to. My colleagues were all quite interested in the Skoda, got two of the tallest (6foot plus)to sit in the back and front and both found the car a very comfortable place to be in. Enough headroom even with the sunroof.

Picked her up yesterday and put 200km driving around and back home. The thing is fantastic, plenty of power, space, features everything. Very happy with it, now just have to set everything up to my preferences. Well worth the wait

Not sure if anyone here has their Skoda arriving on the Tongala but as an update, she's in South Africa! That much closer....ha!

My understanding is that map updates are free twice per year for 3 yrs ..... At least for MY15 vehicles onwards.

Waiting to hear back from Skoda HO Aust as to where the Jun15 one is

I notice the Update Portal now says last update was Nov 14; next update Nov 15. Don't know what happened to Jun 15 update, even though it states 2 updates per year
