Ordered mine back in late April, early May. Car came in Early Oct..... or was it mid Sept, Barbagallo held the car until today.... which is extremely nice of them. Please see June for a great deal at Skoda in Osb Park. Top sales woman and will assist with any Skoda enquiry!

I live in West Perth, but I travel all over the place in Perth, as far as Two Rocks down to Mandurah - so I drive around.

The glass roof is great, adaptive cruise is awesome.... though used it on a main road with two lanes, a car was sitting in the right - to turn right and the Skoda hit the brakes comfortably, and worked well. Very happy. Have to get use to the car it self, air con, screens etc.

Couldn't be happier!!

I see Merc C-Klasses, Golf GTI's, and other cars worth a bit more, or a tad more and laugh. I have so much more in my car then they have!

And just found this in the forum!!

Yeah, I also want fold in mirrors but you have to buy the whole pack.

Just went for a drive.

What a growl on the inside from the engine.

Glass roof open, music on, steering stiffened, adaptive headlamps that work beautifully.... What else could I have asked for?

Oh and in no time, you're at 100kph! Oops!

Yes June is a very friendly Sales Manager and I was happy to receive a call from her two weeks ago advising of the availability of the Comfort Pack; the electric memory seats with memory function mirrors was a big plus for the wife and I as it will be a shared vehicle; a pleasant bonus for having to wait so long. I don't think the heated leather seats will be of much use here in barmy Perth, especially as I will probably fit some sheepskin seats covers.

Keep up the reviews Matt, anything to pass the time until our vehicle arrives is great. I have been reading lots of the VRS owners reviews from Briskoda. I am already planning the first cruise we will take down to Esperance for a bit of camping and photography.

The trick is to look at the road and not your speedo Glad you're enjoying it

Congrats on the new toy!!

After nearly 10,000km, I'm still looking forward to drive the car everyday.

What's missing is 'drama' from the already good driving experience. In this case, exhaust noise.

I've booked the car in this weekend to have the resonator box 'piped' (resonator delete). Hopefully, more 'drama' can be extracted

Will let you guys know how it goes.

99reza, what are you doing? Please explain..

My next mod might be a MillTek exhaust.. Though I don't want a a consistent loud note, I want a growl and fart only when flooring it!

I did look into on company recommended by the dealer for protective clear tape/film to cover part of the bonnet and full bumper from stone chips etc. $1200! That's crazy!

Might look at 3M?
