Thinking of ordering a RS Skoda.

[Scanners]

I dare say there should be a few they used in the Tour Down Under coming onto the markey in early february. Apparently they share them out amongst the dealers for sale.

What's the tour downunder?

The major bicycle road race in Australia held in SA in January every year. Skoda are a major sponsor of bicycle racing world wide and provide most of the support vehicles which are then sold through the dealer network as used cars.

Lance Armstrong will be there for the last time competing on Australian soil as well.. I'm planning to take the Superb over to Adelaide for the event as I'm competing in the corporate event. woohoo should be fun!

I've decided to stick to a local purchase as I have a car to trade and I don't want the hassle of trying to sell the old car, while buying a new unregistered car that I'm unable to see in the flesh. Only trouble is that the local dealer isn't showing a lot of interest in calling me back. I would have thought they would be pretty keen to sell more cars as I'm not seeing that many on the roads in Perth. I've been looking for the right family car for months and I thought I'd settled on the right one. As a potential buyer you want the dealer to work a little for the sale but in two separate dealings with Skoda in Perth they have shown little interest in chasing the sale. Unfortunately I might have to continue to look elsewhere

Dealing with Joe now and he's much better to deal with.

dealer called me back after a couple of days, I told him to call me when skoda decide to fit rear view cameras (at least as an option) to their range.
Cant justify spending that sort of money without one. Especially cars the length of these vehicles!

Actually it's called technique and learning how to judge the length of your vehicle. In the dark ages (like more than about 3 years ago) that's what everybody did and I know that you may not comprend this but most people figured it out without any problems. People who used to touch park will still touch park camera or no camera.

I couldn't agree more. I'm on my L's and I started learning on my dad's smallest truck (which is legal to drive as it's under the GVM limit) and while it's an absolute bitch to drive I know that I'm a better driver for it. Reverse parking is also annoying to complete but I'm very confident in using both exterior mirrors to judge distance and space. I'm sorry but if you need a reverse camera (on top of sensors) then you kinda need to learn how to park better! And c'mon, the rear-view vision isn't that bad in Octavias...

if u can't reverse park without the aid of a "camera" - u should hand ur license back and get off the road.

atleast the octavias have a graphical image with radar zones, instead of just beeps, or even worse, nothing at all!!!
