If you zoom right in on what appears to be an ignition switch on the steering column it looks like it is not actually a switch. It appears to have three lines of text on it. I suspect that in this picture at least this car is fitted with a start/stop switch.

I see, now I see the side view of the ignition.... Do you have to push it to start the car with key in pocket?

AND the power outlet in the center will be good. iPhone charger and iPhone can sit in the cup holder!

Thats a ciggy lighter in the centre console, as in the current model, and the ignition is a push button.

Why wouldn't they at least make it a COOL push button?... Like in the middle of the centre console or something??!

Do some research on how the Skoda KESSY system works it should be wasy enough to find out by downloading a Superb user manual if nothing else.

The centre console 12v socket is in the same place as the current Octavias and is useful. Mine generally has a little two port USB charger installed into it.

Simple explanation of KESSY here

I don't know what it is, but I'm just not sold on those front seats. I think they look too big in the cabin and also a bit 1980's in styling rather than 2013!

I know what you mean on both counts.

I think they look great. Elements of the brilliant seats in the Alfa 147 GTA with the ribbing material in the centre.

What do you have in the hole in yours? We have a lighter and I'm pretty sure an ash tray. Maybe they removed them in the FL.
