    Are Europcar using Skodas again

    A mate of mine picked up a TSI Superb hatch for the week in Adelaide today.

    He messaged me to see if I knew how to turn the power outlet in the centre console on. It doesn't work.

    They never got rid of Superbs, just the Octavias I think. I always see Europcar Superbs around and I must admit they bring a smile to my face.
    Mine: Silver 2006 Volkswagen Golf Sportline 2.0FSI 6M (with a sunroof)
    Parents': Candy White 2008 Skoda Octavia RS 2.0TFSI 6M Liftback

    There's no switch for it. It should just work. Does it have a blown fuse?

    That's what I suggested. He normally drives a HSV Grange an A4 or a Camry so he wasn't sure about the Skoda and just asked in case there was a switch.

    There are some older ones about, but when I asked at Christmas they were pretty much phasing them all out. I have requested a Superb several times and each time ended up with an upgrade to an A4 instead. I would have preferred the Superb but haven't seen any in Brisbane at least for about 6 mths now.

    I think I saw a Fabia with a Europcar sticker on the back

    That would surprise me as they love their Hyundais at that end of the market...

    Dean got the Superb in lieu of the i30 that he had booked. Pretty good upgrade. I spoke with him today and he is very impressed so far. Not as much power as the Grange and not quite the Audi but very impressed overall he said.

    I booked a Getz mid year and got an A3, I think they have heaps of spare Audis at the moment as that's happened 4 times to me last year.

    Booked a Passat for a couple of days in ADL last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to get a Superb Wagon instead. Its only an Ambiance instead of an Elegance like mine, but a great drive all the same. This rental was an 118TSI and I must admit, a lot smoother to drive than my 125TDI.

    My lease runs out in September so I'm heading off to my local dealer soon to order me a wagon for late September delivery. My new one will be a white 118 Elegance with panoramic roof, tow bar, roof racks and KESSY as extras. I intend to keep this one when the lease expires after three years.
