I'm looking at buying a superb. Having read through loads of comments I can't work out what spec to go for. I have no real preference over estate or saloon but it's the engine & gearbox comments that are confusing me. I'd like elegance spec if possible.. I won't be doing massive mileage (probably less than 10k per annum).
From what I have read:
Diesel - low mileage might cause problems with DPF so better to go for petrol. However,
Petrol - TSI Engines known to have issues?
Automatic - if the auto box hasn't been maintained well or has been used for towing it may fail (very expensive fix)
Manual - best option?
A wide variety of BHP options - I don't need a massive engine but are the smallest engines too underpowered for a car of this size?
Is there a link to a buyers guide that has been compiled by members on here?
Many thanks!
PS Budget is 5-7k (GBP)
