Hi, Could anybody share Canton equalizer settings you like most? I'm not really happy with standard settings, but didn't have time to play around with equalizer yet. I know it's a matter of taste, but still wondering what others prefer most. Thanks

The car arrived and can confirm, that wireless android auto works well. Connects immediatelly and no glitches.

I was very happy with my mk3 2.0TDI manual for 8 years. Not a single fault. Sold it with 150 000 km on the clock. It didn't had too many extras: AFS xenons, rear camera, heated windshield, no assistance systems at all and cloth seats. So nothing special, but still - a comfortable car for the price. The only downside was sound insulation. Not terrible, but for such a nice interior quality, insulation was the only thing I thought could be better. But it was time to get something new. Was thinking to try something new. Never liked SUVs, so the choise is narrow. Passat for my tasted was too ugly. I knew it's probably a better car and could get the same specs as Superb for the same price, but it wass too ugly. Then thought about Audi A5. Took the test drive and was disappointed a lot. I expected a feeling better than Superb. But: parts below were the same hard plastic. Door gaskets were faulty for a new tested car. Standard trims, with door panels from cloth looked like they are taken from golf mk2. Leather seats could fix this, but even then, trim in center console is hard terribly looking plastic... everything felt cheap. For 5000! I could get S line alcantara seats, which were better and with no terrible plastic trims in center console. But this raised already high price to almost 60 000 Eur with discount already. And with no such extras like heated rear seats, no heated windscreen, no matrix lights. Then decided to give a try for a superb. When I went to dealer and checked Sportline interior, I felt it's a different class to audi A5. Quality was everywhere: firm alcantara seats, hard plastic in audi replaced by alcantara trimmings everywhere in Superb. Got a price for a high spec superb 14000 eur less to A5. With many more extras too. And realized that I just maybe can't afford a good Audi. So just ordered Superb. So now why am I writing this long story? Well, while I was waiting for the car to be delivered, I started reading reviews. I know I had to do it before ordering :) But reviews are usually paid by manufacturers, so I started looking for user comments. And these were terrible everywhere. Everybody compared it to mk3 and almost everyone said mk3 is miles better car. So I waited for a new car with fear. Finally, It arrived last week. Already 2000km on the clock. And after this, I can say that all negative comments comes from people who had never driven it. Maybe never even seen it live. I wasn's expecting many changes, as platform is the same. But mk4 is from another world compared to mk3. Interior quality is even better, sportline seats are very comfortable. Sound insulation is better regarding wind and road noise. Probably engine is a bit noisier. Unless it will get better when it runs in. Also about the engine. I was expecting it to be the same as previous, as its also 110kw tdi. But it much livier. And handling in corners is similar to A5. Which was the only positive thing from my test drive. It's a lot better than mk3, and not bouncing and rolling anymore. Though, don't know if it's related to sportline trim. But in general - everything is better in mk4. Except maybe Canton system - was expecting more. But also didn't have time to play with settings. A lot complains about too sensitive asssitance systems. I think these works well. They are designed to assist and even if they are on the sensitive side, this is why they are designed for - to protect in advance. So after all, I'm really surprised about the car. Big comfortable car, with super quality interior. In real life it looks better than in videos. And digital cluster everyone is complaining about, looks a lot better in reality too. So my advice - just go for it. And you will never look back to mk3. Which is a very good car, but mk4 is just better.

Thanks a lot for all answers. Will update when the car arrives

Thanks. I'm waiting for delivery and wanted to prepare for this. Either check possibilities to enable AA wireless, or buy an adapter. But maybe it makes sense to wait and hope AA wireless will be enabled

Maybe it depends on the region. It says car supports apple car play and android auto. Apple car play can be used wirelesly. Which suggest androud auto not

Hi, Older Superb models had wireless android auto. MK4 has only wired one. Although it has wireless applay play. I was wondering if there's a technical reason for this, or if wireless android auto can be activated with software? Does anyone has any experience? Thanks

Hi, Had anyone tried both, standard and leather sportline seats? I'm mostly interested in comfort and material quality. Is the shape or softness different? Thanks

Thank you all for answers, that is very nice.

Good to hear that, I was also expecting it on mk4, as it was a standard on mk3

Thanks, interesting that it's not mentioned in specs/pricelist...

How can it be set by the user? Thanks

Hi, Superb MK4 specification suggests, that there is no more auto hold system installed - only hill hold assist is possible, which is very different. Can current Superb users confirm that this is true and the system is downgraded now? I still see Auto Hold in the Passat specifications, which should be more or less the same car. Thanks

Hi, thanks. The current tdi engine is still the same ea288 as my 2018 version. Ok, it's called ea288 evo now, but it's almost identical. As far as I know there are no new components to go wrong. Reliability wise, I'm curious about 2.0 TSI. There's a very little info about 204 ps engine. Seems like a rare engine. Therefore, can't find more info concerning towing consumption too.

Hi, I'm looking to order a Superb. Currently I drive MK3 110 TDI (manual) for 7 years now. I drive 18-19000 km yearly, 6000 of which I tow a caravan (1300kg). I'm very happy with the current engine, but I can't order a car with the same engine due to weight limit of total mass combined with my caravan. There are only two engines which fits the weight - 1.5 or 2.0 tsi 150kw. 1.5 is out of scope for towing. I have no doubt, that 2.0 TSI will tow very well, maybe even better than TDI. But I'm worried about fuel consumption. When towing only actually. My current TDI consumes 9L/100km on average. Does anyone has any experience towing a caravan woth 2.0 TSI 150 KW? What fuel consumption can I expect when towing? Are there any reliability issues? TDI for example is super reliable from my experience. Thank you
