Sounds great, happy that by the sounds of it I've made the right choice... For once in my life😂

That's encouraging, thanks. I remember the first time I took a qashqai for a test drive, it was a petrol car and it felt like it was pulling a trailer when accelerating away from a stand still. Tried the diesel and never looked back so that's the reason I was unsure which way to go on this but sounds like I needn't have worried

Just wanted to update and thank everyone for their comments and help. Reserved a petrol superb estate yesterday, some great advice on here helped make my mind up on it, looking forward to giving it a whirl asap

Certainly do. To the uninitiated it's pronounced Mil-guy rather than Miln-gav-ay😀

Thank you all for the replies, you have confirmed what I think I really already knew that diesel is the wrong choice. Our last 2 cars have been diesel engines but didn't have any of the newer complications that are prevalent now. irc, thanks for the offer of experiencing the engine really appreciate that but I think the decision is a pretty straight forward one for me now. I'll post back when I have an update, excited to become a Skoda owner all being well!

About buy a Skoda forum, rather

Ha, definitely not. Work smart, not hard! I've posted a thread looking for advice in the new to skoda forum

Hi, I'm looking for some advice in regards the pros and cons of a petrol car Vs a diesel. I'm specifically keeping my eye on 2 cars, a 1.5l petrol manual and a 2.0l diesel. I don't know much about cars at all but I know enough to realise the diesel will have more torque but how responsive is the petrol generally? I also have concerns about the adblue systems in the diesel cars but I can't seem to find any information in whether this is still an issue for Skoda cars specifically. I should also add that a test drive is proving to be problematic as the cars are so far away and there doesn't seem to be anything to match them locally. Excuse my lack of technical knowledge but any advice would be greatly appreciated😄

Hi, My name is David and I've just registered. I'm hoping to buy a Skoda Superb estate and hopefully get some advice on the pros and cons of various things. Don't know much about cars at all but it's always good to learn!👋
