When it’s out of warranty I’ll be looking at a stage one too!!
Loving this car and would recommend to anyone!!
Looks sharp! My dad ran a mk2 2.0d elegance estate as a company car for a few years. What a great car it was. We had a look online to check if it was still going and the last mot said 340,406miles on the clock! Only two advisories for anti roll bar joint has slight play and mcpherson strut bearing slightly tight!

I love these and yours looks great.
I've had my Octavia VRS for nearly 6 years/80k now and though I don't need to/logically shouldn't change it for now, when I do it'll either be one of these, or an Alfa Giulia Veloce depending on how much space I need at the time and depending on whether I want a third Skoda in a row as I had an Octavia 4x4 before.
Do these still come with the door umbrellas?

They are great cars. The room inside is amazing and they really are more than a sum of their parts, drive wise.
Strangely though, i went to Skoda last year to buy one but they ended up wanting more money than i paid for my BMW 540i msport touring?
And they absolutely wouldn’t budge much on price!

They are very expensive brand new. I remember the list price of mine (with a few nice extras like ventilated seats) was £39k! I paid a lot less when it was 3 months old.Strangely though, i went to Skoda last year to buy one but they ended up wanting more money than i paid for my BMW 540i msport touring?

Yes they still come with umbrellas in the doors!

I’ve seen a few Skoda threads where people mention doing this. How does it work? Surely there is no hardware if the car didn’t leave the factory with it? For example the button for turning lane assist on/off.And if it goes for a service at a main dealer won’t they put it back to as built if they check the software?

There is no physical button for any of the driver aids - it’s all done through the infotainment / menus in digital dashAnd if it goes for a service at a main dealer won’t they put it back to as built if they check the software?
Think of the options as a digital coded checklist - it’s as simple as “ticking” on or off
Dealer wouldn’t change any code during service
It’s a bit like the heated seats in Mercedes (and others I would imagine), it’s more cost effective to just install all the seats with the heated elements in rather than install/sign off two different seat designs or install the heater elements ‘on the line’.
When you pay for heated seat as an option, they are only really installing the button/software to operate the pre-installed heater units.

Btw if the had to update the software then they wouldn’t necessarily tell you - sometimes bug fixes get released as service updates that customers never know about, they just get done. Just something to be aware of - check everything is still turned on after a service just in case!
