New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Yes, i can vouch for John at Peninsula Skoda as well, he really shows a passion for the brand. Bought a Superb from him 2 years ago and i was so impressed with the service that i ordered a Race Blue Ambition Plus Wagon c/w Tech Pack at the end of December. Took delivery last Saturday. John spends time going over everything you need to know about the car and if you need nore information his after sales support is terrific. Took his RS for a spin as well, it's a fun weapon that's for sure.

Dumb Q, does the VRS have heated seats? Had a look at the UK brochure and the AUS one but couldn't see any reference on the AUS site.

the elegance & RS models come with dual-zone climatronic as standard - hence heated front seats too.
question is whether the rear seats will b heated too??

Are you sure the Elegance comes with heated seats? The brochure shows the Elegance interior photo with blanking plates in the heater button positions.

hmm.....that's interesting!!
I can see it on the RS image though. pg 24 of the brochure.

yeah saw the pics, have emailed Skoda to ask as pics can be from OS models etc (having them in a CC its great in winter with back issues, sign of my old age).

What's even more intriguing is that the specification list does not mention heated seats for anything. When you open the Superb brochure the Superb specification lists either front or front and rear heated seats.
from Carsguide i get this for the Elegance


RS shows the same.


Looks like neither have it.

My info is not in RS and I'm fine with that. It explains why the leather upgrade is so much cheaper than the VW's which last time cost me $3300 but gained me seat heating too (MkV GTI) which we tried once and never used again.

Doesn't surprise me that you don't use the heated seats, i only use them as they are there in the Superb, i don't think I'd miss them. My kids want them on all the time in the back and they are in booster seats.

It shows it because its not a AU spec car, being LHD and all the image prob would have had a disclaimer saying overseas model or something.

Neither Elegance or RS get heated seats, driven them both.

that's a shame considering the mk2 vRS came with front heated seats as standard!!
