Hi My daughter is about to buy a Superb Estate on an approx 20K budget, so looking at maybe 2022 or thereabouts. She currently has a VW Tiguan with the 1.5 TSi/DSG combo but needs more space for big rear facing car seats, a dog cage for the labrador etc etc. We reckon that the Superb is probably the best car to handle (literally) everything that she can throw at it and as I say, she is familiar with most of the mechanicals from the Tiguan. The plan is to keep this vehicle long term i.e. at least 7 years. Useage will be a mixture of driving, various local kids clubs, days out om single carriageway A roads, the odd longer motorway journey, probs about 15K per year. She's a sensible driver, sticks to speed limits, never has to thrash the engine, keeps up with oil changes etc. I was wondering what folks here thought of that engine/gearbox combo in the Superb from their own experience? I know it's a small engine in a big car but looks like it's only 60kg heavier than the Tiguan which copes more than adequately with 150bhp Any obvious problems to watch out for? (I know about the kangarooing in earlier manual models). What's the highest mileage anyone here has racked up in a 1.5Tsi? (looking to buy sub 40K) Any thoughts, suggestions very gratefully received.
