RAB60

Thanks, nice motors, but too far as I am South of London. May have to have the 150 or even 110 BHP 1.6 as performance is not high on my list of priorities, just size , comfort and at a fair price.

Can't see many with 180 BHP engines, most of the 2.0l seem to be 150, and a few 1.6 110 BHP. Not much of a fast driver, prefer comfort and quietness so smaller wheels would be preferred. The car will be mainly be used for fishing, just me in it, so journeys will be 15 miles +, though may have me and SWMBO on board for longer trips 100 miles + . Seen a 150BHP 4X4 on a 67 plate, not sure about them, is it the same set up as an Audi?, and a Black Edition, can't find much about them. The other thing that may rear its ugly head soon is the ULEZ charge, I am in Greater London (Sutton borough) so it could extend here soon.

Looking for a large estate car, toss up between Octavia or Superb, but favouring the Octavia . My main query is, do the Octavia have Xenon or halogen bulbs ? Seen adverts and pictures show headlamp washers, but I don't know if that guarantees the have Xenons. Are there Octavia models that had them as standard, ie, SE L or Elegance, as they are the ones that seem to be the better buy. Engine and gearbox combo is another query, the 2.0 diesel seems the better engine, I don't mind manual or auto but the wife wont drive an auto, so a manual may be better. trying to get a model year that has low tax, any help with these questions would be appreciated.

Thank you, just trying to decide what car to get, big estate, so Octavia or Superb?

Hi, my name is Richard, and at the moment I'm carless. I used to browse this site many moons ago when I had a Superb, I have questions, but they will be in the relevant forums.
