Congratulation! You got yourself a very good car. Even though I only had my Superb sedan for 4 days, I still get to enjoy the Superb wagon as courtesy car while my car is being repaired. Each day I drive it, each day I fall in love with it.

Just to let you know, yesterday I fit a single mattress inside the wagon with rooms to spare! It's amazing! Normally with mattresses I have to pay $50-70 delivery fee. Now all saved! My wife is thinking of what we can get in Ikea while we still got the wagon as courtesy car.

couple of questions:

do MY10 Elegance sedans come with sat nav?

do they come with the bolero or columbus?

[VAG newbie]

Theoretically yes. I still got the brochures from 2009 and 2010. The brochure printed in Feb 2010 has Sat Nav/Columbus in Elegance model. It specifically says "specification are as planned at April 2010, for MY2010/2011....".

But be careful with used cars. Make sure the equipment that you want is included and put in writing. I have seen some used car advertised as a 2011 car (cuz the compliance plate is 2011), but is obviously a MY09 car. (it's obvious, Bolero instead of Columbus, as the former one has only 3 buttons beside the screen cf 4 with the Columbus. Also the antenna in MY09 looks quite dumb. Headlight washer is also same color as the car rather than chrome).

besides the upgraded bolero to columbus, were there any other upgrades from the MY09 to MY10

(I called Skoda and they said that it is a MY10 based on the VIN, so hopefully it has the columbus, but would be good to know if it misses out on anything else..)

Yep, a bit more actually. Skoda Aus realised that a $50,000 car should have leather as standard lol (and how bad value our Superbs are compared to overseas). But seriously the Elegance got leather and Columbus as standard but the electric rear blind was removed from the equipment list. There was also a price drop to the levels they're at today (of course without the 103TDI/4x4 drivetrains). They should have the same idea with the Yeti and Fabia while they're at it...

According to Skoda the Columbus radio was optional as was leather in the 2009 car Elegance. VAG Newbie, I would be very interested in seeing the original brochure to in fact see if what Skoda have told me re the radio and trim was in fact true. Would it be possible for me to have a scanned copy?

just got photos of the car, has the bolero... oh well.. i didn't really need sat nav, but do need bluetooth.. now to work out which BT module to get...!

anyone know any place in adelaide that install these things? (else i guess i can try myself)
