Good evening My current daily, a 2004 Saab 9-5, is on it's last legs... and is getting a bit spendy! Looking to replace with an Octavia estate, but with a similar power and torque to the Saab (190bhp and 300Nm). Thought about the Superb, but don't need a car quite that large. The vRS version looks tidy, but I am not so sure about them being looked after as well as they could be. My Saab is understated, looks "average" but goes like stink and returns 32mpg on a regular basis (7 miles per litre) bit of a sleeper or Q car Maybe try the Octavia 1.8 petrol version and get it mapped? Or a diesel, how easy are they to "improve" performance? What do you experts think? Cheers Paul

After many years, my Felicia had to be retired to the scrap yard in the sky. It was followed by an Octavia which did good service around Europe. But then another job change meant I didn't need a car... Now things have changed, I am searching for a performance car that can be used as a daily. The Superb 3.6l V6 has caught my eye, so off the the bowels of the forum to research! Cheers Paul
