Mine is finally at the dealers. Now just needs a clean, final PDI, and its pickup on wednesday, hoorah! Just two more sleeps....just two more sleeps...its like being a kid waiting for christmas all over again...

Like the wheels! There wasn't much choice when I ordered mine!

 

[Plodd]

I know the feeling. Should be collecting ours on Wednesday as well.

Hi neilysump, were you able to order the black Triglavs as part of the package or did you buy them separately?

 

[neilysump]

They're a dealer fit accessory. I ordered them at same time as car so they're on same invoice etc. Pricey at 1100pounds for all four though (although you do keep the originals which I will be selling on to reduce cost etc).

They look awesome in the flesh. Chuffed. I'll post more later in the week.

 

[Sprower]

Thanks. I'm tempted to do the same (but with Crater anthracite).

I've been quoted £85 per wheel to get it painted to black Triglavs.

 

[neilysump]

Sounds a good price tbh. I saw you posted that a while back elsewhere (after I ordered), but I wanted the car to roll of the forecourt in the new wheels!

(Plus it was a zero cost option after discount, contribution from Skoda UK due to 'allloygate', and then selling off the silver triglavs, so I'm more than happy!)

I would say the black ones are quite full on and the anthracite ones might be a more subtle choice but I always wanted the black look so am happy.

Must be no more sleeps now??

 

[neilysump]

If only...pickup at 9am tomorrow! I suspect no sleep tonight: too excited

 

[daveskis]

Read the manual. By dawn you might get to the last page.

 

[neilysump]

I'll write up a proper opinion later (at work now) but just to say - horrah! picked up my new motor, and its a VERY impressive beast. ordered blind, prior to showrooms and have never driven it until today. it loves motorway, was super quiet, and feels like a good amount of power. love the DSG (always had manual prior to now), feels a very luxurious motor...(well, compared to a 9 year old SMAX)

 

[jackiedada]

Congratulations! Look forward to your review.

 

[daveskis]

And finally no more sleeps!

I too ordered sight unseen after reading and researching. Many, many hours later and after a ten minute test drive I don't think I will be disappointed.

 

[neilysump]

Yeh, i'm pretty chuffed. It drives well, looks ace (I hate to go on about the alloys, but they were a big deal as I wanted it to look like the original press shots and i think they really set it off nicely), and is a nice cabin to sit in. The thing most people have remarked on thus far is that its a bit smaller than expected (looking from the outside) but think the interior seems quite large, and are impressed. I measured it endlessly compared with my old 2008 S-Max, and its the same length (bar 3cm), same width (bar 2 cm) and the interior width is almost identical - but to look at from the outside, you wouldn't know it.

Congrats - your K is very nice looking!

:idea:
I just realised each of your posts about delivery is 1 Kodiaq out of factory --> 1 Kodiaq closer to mine being delivered.

WHOOOHOOO!
Waiting for transport at Emden build week 22. Thank the maker was getting a little worried about the build delays disscussed earlier.

 

[daveskis]

Could be ONLY be 4 more sleeps for me.......not excited yet,meeting a lid on it.

 

[neilysump]

Lol! Hang in there...I know I hardly slept the night before. Love the car, no hassles thus far, pretty much as expected assuming you didn't over hype yourself into thinking it was going to be a Porsche, deliver world peace, etc. Does exactly what I wanted it to, not disapointed in anyway, little surprises tho because I've read every comment on this forum and every manual for months etc 😁

 

[daveskis]

Yeah same here even translated German Reviews and so on. Couldn't get enough of it. But I'm a bit surprised world peace is at risk again.
