Thanks Do you have petrol or diesel ? And yes I think my usage is more suited to petrol. I may still try to hold on to my beloved Accord for another 5 or 10 years (it's still running well), when hopefully the EV landscape will be much better (more estates, 400+ mile range and better charging infrastructure). If the Accord becomes uneconomical to keep on the road in the next few years then I will likely need to replace it with another petrol estate, hence this post (as too early to move over to EVs at the moment for above reasons).

Wow - you must have been unlucky (or me lucky, albeit only 5k miles per year). Mine has been pretty much just wear and tear repairs over the years. I'm looking at Superb estate as want equivalent large boot space to my mk 7 Accord (have looked for low mileage mk 8 Accord but they are not as good - smaller boot space and sunroof rust/leak issues). And reviewers seem to love it - but wanted to real owner views, especially re reliability...

Hello I'm a potentially in the market for a Skoda Superb estate and am v interested in the long term reliability of this car. I currently own 2003 Honda Accord Exec Tourer, with modest mileage (c115k). I love it and is one of the best purchase of my love (bought in 2006 with 35k on clock for £11k). It is v practical and been extremely reliable. I know there are some Accords around which have done 240k miles plus. I may at some point want to replace this with another uber reliable equivalent (but unfortunately Honda stopped selling Accords in the UK in 2015. I have read a lot of good things about the Superb. Is it a match for the Accord in terms of reliability ?
