  1. I currently have a 150 SEL Exec, 3 years old 90k miles. Ive always liked Skodas, I’ve perviously had an 03 mark 1 Superb, an 06 Octavia petrol vRS and an 08 mark 2 Superb. In a couple of weeks I’m moving back to BMW with a 530e PHEV. I’m very fortunate to be a user chooser company car driver and the BIK rates on PHEV make it a bit of a no brainer. If the Superb PHEV had been ready I’d have taken a look but no sign of it.

  2. Manual 150, long term average 52mpg.

    Yesterday I drove 110 miles from the Midlands down to Bristol, M42, M5. Adaptive Cruise set on 75 or 80 most of the time, often travelling slower due to traffic. Long stretches of managed motorway and road works (average speed check) with 50mph limit so cruise set to 56mph.

    Arrived showing 66mpg for the journey, amazing car!

  3. cnc linked to my thread, all I can say is that on my manual the auto hold (standard) does exactly what I want, it holds the car as my foot transitions from the brake to the accelerator on a hill start.

    I still don't understand what the £100 option of hill hold would add! Would love to be enlightened!

  4. I'm also on my third diesel Superb (a Mk 1, 2 and now 3) covering in excess of 160k miles.

    I've always used the cheapest diesel (usually supermarket) and have never had any DPF issues.

    However they have all been company cars so it's not my problem of I run into trouble!

  5. My boss was in my car yesterday and he did comment that the sound was louder on the motorway than my old 520d, must say I agree.

    At 80 mph in 6th the engine is running at 2100rpm (150 diesel): he has an Audi A6 190 DSG and told me today his engine is below 1700rpm at 80mph...at 95mph he's at 2000rpm.

    Anyone else find the 150 diesel a little loud on the motorway?

  6. I took delivery of my new SEL 150 manual hatch last week, a company car. We have an allowance for our grade and my car was £30/month above my entitlement so I make that up from my salary. I saw the updated list today and the lease price on my car has dropped by £60/month and I could now have a 150 DSG L and K for my £30 upgrade!

    Has anyone else seen lease/contract hire prices drop significantly?
