I think I'll keep away from the 280hp...Ive been looking at the depreciation on the Superb,, they drop a lot of money in 2 years,, not that many cars are good investments but I'm a bit shocked by the drop.

Thanks athol, I take it the 280 is a 2.8 engine,,, living in London I think a 2 litre engine is plenty for me.

Many Thanks,, I do intend to try the 1.4 and 220 petrol engines, I would definitely go Automatic,,, really don't see the need for me having a Diesel car considering the mileage I'm doing and as 100andthirty kindly commented, the diesels are problematic if they're only used for short journeys.

Thank you very much penguin for taking the time to leave such a detailed reply. Very helpful indeed. Yes, I have had too many niggly faults with this C class although I love the way they drive. I would consider a Petrol but I will have to do some research on running costs. I am going to test drive a Superb shortly and I just hope it drives nearly as nice as the Merc, in which case I am definitely buying one. I looked at the L&K model although they are quite pricey. A nice SE Exucutive might do me but I'm not ruling anything out. What else has annoyed me about Mercedes is Servicing costs,, absolutely extortionate so I'm hoping Skoda will save me some money.. The last service and rear break pads on the Merc cost me nearly £900. Many Thanks.

Hi all, I currently drive a 16 reg C Class Diesel Sport. I cannot begin to tell you the amount of minor faults and call outs I have had with this car. I've been driving Mercs for 10 years but this one has sickened me. I want to buy a Superb,,am I making the right move??..70% of my driving is around town and I'll do about 10 000 miles a year. Any engine recommendations!!!. I'm also looking for full leather... Many Thanks.
