Pre-ordering facelift Octavia RS 169TSI

[woofy]

Just wish they had made the auto tallgate the foot waving kind. I've had dodgy struts since new so just hoping that they are more durable then the past year in the long run.

The model I want is $49k RRP DSG Wagon + tech pack, paint and tailgate. Too early to get a decent deal from the dealership?

Just ring up a few and find out. You will never know. I tried almost every dealer in NSW and ended with the one who willing to budge the most, c. 6%.

Awesome! That's the exactly combination as mine. So that's 4 months from order till delivery? Mine only took 2.5 weeks from order till delivery and even that I almost killed myself counting down the days. All the best!

I'll be away for interstate work for a few months so they said they'll factory order one for me and deliver it as soon as I get back for the same cost, very exciting stuff.

Test drove the RS 162 but not the 169, a dealership spent a lot of time showing me the ins and outs of the vehicle though. It's mind blowing how many features there are.

Yes mind-blowing indeed. I am still reading the manual after every driver I did. Lol

Slightly off topic:
Anyone with an updated RS figured out where it gets its 30mm increase in rear track width?
I've read that it was done for purely for aesthetic purposes and does not change the handling characteristics.
Is there a way to find out through Skoda dealer portal or service manuals to see what part/s are different in the rear suspension/hubs part numbers are between the two variations? It would be great to see whether it is something as simple as rear discs with a 15mm deeper 'hub' each side. Much nicer way to increase rear track without delving into legalities of adding spacers here in Vic.

Came back to work after three weeks off, walk into the showroom and see this:



Have to admit, much nicer in person than I was expecting... I can hear my Mk2FL getting jealous in the garage at home as I write this.
Shut up tractor, or you'll get replaced.
