  1. Maybe the price will go up in few years and become somewhat of collectors car
  2. Had the same problem. This is a problem for the model. It is extremely complicated and hard. For the question - NO. I got mine to locksmith - I think the lock on the door is broken(usually that is the reason).
  3. I changed the sport suspension with normal, aftermarket one. now the drive comfort has increased significantly, but compared to other Superbs the car is still somewhat lower. As I see the "normal" distance between the tyre and the fender is around 4 fingers(even with 17 inch wheels), but on mine it`s like almost the half. Any ideas on this?
  4. The same engines are offered before and after the face lift pretty much, The only difference is the 2.0 PD diesel engine replacing the 1.9 tdi.
  5. Thank you, for your exhaustive answers. I took a deeper look at my tires. It turns out that they are not runflats(I guess it is an option for Dunlop SportMaxx RT2, not every set of tires has this), but they have rim protection, higher speed index and extra load(I wonder if changing tires in that case will change a lot anyway and tires are extra money, if I am going to spend it is better to be worth it). And yes - 225/45R17 is the size to go. P.S. I am aware of the water ingress problem
  6. Yes, you are right - they are 225/45 and are even run flat. I will buy new 17" that are not run flat and have more height. Also I will adjust the suspension to be as softer and higher as it could be. the car has 16" with winter tyres also. Will see how ride quality changes. If the two procedures that I will perform won`t satisfy me with the ride quality, I will change the sport dampers and coils. Do you think that`s reasonable?
  7. Here are some pictures of the car. I am very satisfied with the vehicle, although some people say it is retro - I think this is the right choice for me. Like the build materials, sound proofing and classy style. Also thank you to all of you that actually honestly answered my questions.
  8. Yes, I finally managed to find a suitable Superb(had other things in life meanwhile). Just bought a Edition 100 2.8 V6 with(almost) all extras in a good condition. I think the car is great and provides even more than I thought it would. Just the one thing that bothers me is that the car has sport suspension(adjustable). And the car rides rough. Is there any point in trying to soften this suspension or directly change the shock absorbers with stock ones?
  9. Sorry(don`t know how to delete a post), 500 in total. Exactly how many were 2.5 tdi I don`t know - maybe if Skoda could provide detailed statistics on the sold mk1s...
