Thanks for the comments, very useful to hear different opinions! Am in that horrible situation where still want a fun ish car, but need more space in the rear seats as well as boot and dont want to have to spend a fortune (better mpg would also be good as only getting about 30 to gallon at present) hence the rationale for trying to get a diesel with some performance. Think am on a bit of loser anyway and will be tough to let go of my vRS! Will look into 130bhp superb as well if performance figures are similar - as have been really impressed with Skoda cars since owning my Octavia.

Thanks, First time on one of these sites - useful to know they also did a manual as well. Do you have a superb? if so do you rate them, as the write ups i seen are fairly mixed - some rate it some criticise it for being dull to drive?

Hi, I currently own a Octavia vRS (original version) and am looking for a bit more comfort to accomadate a bigger family hence why i am looking at the superb. Am looking at a diesel and particuarly fancy the 2.5V6 tdi. I understand this is an automatic version - how badly does this effect performance or is it the new DSG system which i hear is excellent and like no other automatic. Any advice gratefully recieved, Dave
