  1. Thanks for the interior photos guys. These are very nice cars
  2. Thanks. Alcantara is my favourite seat covering but I found the fixed position of the headrests in the Superb Sportline too far back. This has best of both worlds.
  3. Have you any photos of the interior Silver? What’s the trim finish on the dash, looks like a grained wood in the mock up. Are the seats Alcantara and are the headrests adjustable? Sorry for all the questions but might fancy one of these in a year or two!
  4. Very nice Silver, that looks lovely.
  5. Good idea, must try that. 28c here today and cooled the car fine, just doesn’t have that icy feel to the air from the vents. Maybe saves mpg?
  6. Agreed, on very hot days it struggles. I share a carpool with a Volvo V60 driver, you could get frostbite in there!
  7. It’s a mechanical failure of the switch, you should clearly feel the two stages when you press down. First the one touch fails then the opening operation fails completely. Just had mine replaced under warranty. It’s a single module containing the four switches on the driver’s door. Took about half an hour to replace.
  8. I’ve owned both and driven a few others. This would be my explanation too, cloth absorbs background noise of which there seems to be a bit in the Superb.
  9. 17” wheels are quieter than 18” and cloth interiors are quieter than leather in the Superb.
  10. I fitted Continental Max Contact 5 in this size to my SE Business, replacing P7s. They were fantasticaly quiet and had great ride and grip too. Higher rolling resistance though which made it feel a little slower off the line. Still miss the silence and ride quality as I have an SEL on 18”s now. MASSIVE noise difference from the Pirellis.
  11. Tried it for about 5 miles and lost the will to carry on - in Eco mode that is.
  12. Third fill 54.7 mpg measured, 57.8 on maxidot.
  13. Third fill 54.7 mpg measured, 57.8 on maxidot.
