2009 Skoda Superb: My First week with this baby

BoringProf · 2nd April 2009, 14:55

Last few. Interior pics mostly.

Some more answers.

Bootlid button- there is a button on the remote, but its deactivated when in the ignition.

Got the Skoda Umbrella that goes into the "wet storage" which is inside the left-rear passenger armrest. Should have clicked that!

STILL cant get the Bluetooth to wake up. There's nothing in the MFD or Touchscreen other than "Enable Bluetooth..." check box. Instructions say to have the phone scan and pair with the car within 5 minutes of turning the ignition on.... no luck, using an e71

@GTO: Will JMD (Sanpada?) handle the free scheduled services even though I bought the car from another dealer?

@djay99: 2 front, one driver knee, two side curtain.... I need to double check on any more.

Congrats... its a fantastic looking car! The level of equipment for the price is truly staggering... only If skoda didnt screw up in the after sales.

BoringProf · 2nd April 2009, 15:03

INR 22.84 lacs (Company registration)

90% financing @ 11%

Also a word of advice, I approached 3 banks and they started an interest rate war! from 13% to 11%, I could have gotten another 1% but I needed to bill before March 31.

navin · 2nd April 2009, 15:43

Some really nice pictures of the car and goodies. It sure is loaded with a lot o gadgets.

Congrats on your new ride, once again.

karankapoor · 2nd April 2009, 15:55

very nice pics bp,this car has almost all the features that one can think about.

the service thing as jmd is the authorizsed service center for skoda he will entertain the free service.

Normally i dont like the silver color in cars but this looks really good!
Interior looks rich and expensive.
Didn't liked the odometer design.
center console is really cool along with the shape of the seats.

Is the legroom at back seat more than accord, i feel its a bit less?

For bluetooth maybe this helps-
?koda Auto - Software for GSM with Bluetooth

Fantastic car! I just love it! And congratulations on your purchase.

Skoda listen to this, you have a winner in your hand. Act on your support to the customer and then tata bye bye to Honda's of the world.

ravi@64bhp · 2nd April 2009, 19:46

Truly amazing car at the price offered. The level of technology is really astonishing. I am loving the interiors.

I'll answer this, yes all dealers in India will handle the free & paid services regardless of where the car was bought from. But choose your Skoda service centre wisely, JMD seems to be a good bet in Mumbai.

.

to add to what Iraghava just said, they will be delighted to..
any free service or warranty work done is billed to Skoda. Ultimately they will be paying the dealer back.

fantastic car prof, it sure has presence!

the fit and finish is top notch.
Thank you for the photos

EDIT: btw, do you drive or is it chauffeured?

cheers

Congratulations. Really "superb". No need to say that you would be enjoying it.

maxbhp · 3rd April 2009, 11:16

Nice car boring Prof.
Truly amazing list of gadgets. Great looking . Extremely comfortable. but poor A.S.S.

So I guess Skoda wants to take the position of Fiat since Fiat has moved ahead. Recently on discussion with two people who were on look out for such a car , I told them all about Superb.They were really amazed and then I told them about what happened a customer (harsh). Both of them went for other options.

I guess , its tough to get everything right about a car.Thats sad,ain't it ?
