It’s a good balance. Giving up next to nothin on a vrs. Retaining comfort and toys from the superb you can upgrade when the prices stabilise. Local dealer has an octy scout. 6mths ago different times, they were asking 5k more. Similar age/miles. They will still offer me less for my superb 272… dealer games enjoy the superb! Hope it stays with you a bit longer.

Moved and bumped for you.

…and it’s not sold… more to come folks!

Cleaned the thread. one less keyboard eejit. Sorry for the delay.

Locking thread as op has informed us car now sold.

I had a bent rear beam on my mkI. I’d clipped a rock in the road from a dry wall. Didn’t notice, improved right hand corners though Till I saw the tyre eating itself. I’d suspect that; a bent beam, would have been identified by now. Some tyres, did wear far faster than others. It might be a combination of things vs one.

I’d say the mkII superb handled b/a better than the mkIII. the 220 will tell you enough. as edwards says, 4x4, even the haldex, you’re used to. I flip, because after a while it’s boring. Only so many damp junctions you can just launch from… maybe one more.

Currently have a 272 sportline superb. Surprises many. Even the odd vRS. surprises me on a b road. superb pros: total sleeper, massive boot, 4x4 superb cons: free slippers, barge in the twisties; fixable. octavia vrs pros: bigger boot than class avg. plenty of them. octavia vrs cons: bit shouty for my likes, without the actual shout. sportline and vrs will be similar seating. Superb more grand tourer. Octavia still good on a b road but getting fatter each year. if you want an extra few bags in the boot and total under the radar, a sportline superb, hard to beat. mines a March 19 plate, sportline, DCC, canton, hatch, wbac pitching in around 23k. DCC I was in two minds about. I still am. It’s nice popping it in comfort on the motorway. Then “sport” once into other roads, dual, a’s, b’s and back to comfort on single track. So … id be happy in the vrs. I’m happy-ish in the superb. I’m probably going to swap to a meganne, or a five. HTH

Welcome to the community. I've moved this topic to the mkI fabia forum. I can't answer it, hopefully another can

Thread cleaned again. did some this am but rushing for a meeting. please keep the bickering to a minimum. if you don’t agree that’s fine, but as per the guidelines, please be nice. i’d maybe go so far as to revise that to: be nice.

Hi and welcome to the community. The Yeti certainly does have a special place in history. I was only the other day looking at the micro camper project on indestructables. Someone on social media was looking for small car/camper options. I hope you have many happy miles and zzz’s in it.

Hi, Welcome to the community. The mk1 vrs is missed by many who sell. it’s been a while since I had mine. The 1.8t petrol was fairly bullet proof. It was plagued by coil pack issues back in the day. That will be well sorted by now. the odd leaky boot, and in rain if you opened, any pooling water has a tendency to spill in. good luck on the hunt. The mk1 Octavia forum would be a fab place to start. A lot of topics going back over a lot of years.

Hei, Welcome to the community. An 80x enyaq, l can imagine that would be fun The uk seems to be falling behind in charging network for public use. Any such concerns in Norway?

Hi, Welcome to the community. That’s a nice back catalogue of cars. How are you finding the superb in comparison?

That is for being a member of the community. hopefully we’ll see you back in a skoda. what did you go for instead?

Hi and welcome to the community. if you add the problem ms you’re having here, or slightly better in the model forum. mk 2 superb. other owners who frequent that forum will likely help if it’s common enough.

Hi and welcome to the community. Seat cooling, yes who knew. We tested a new car and it happened to have this option. Reasonably warm day, black leather. Did a fab job, got out after an hour without the atypical wet back. wondering if it’s a must or nice to have you have it in the l&k though, so happy days!

Welcome to the community. Devon is a lovely part of the world. Getting busy in the roads now I’d imagine?

Welcome. How are you finding the rapid? With the demise of the fabia estate it’s popping up more and more.

Hi and welcome. I'v moved your post to a better place, the kodiaq section. It may of been missed before, hopefully we can find an answer.

All moved now

Sadly not on the list we have to work from. Non awd Aryia there and in fourth place due to boot. Id4 is only one with some “pace” in awd form, ticks boot, still misses out to model y for charging network. Although i still feel this is good marketing; the Tesla network… “Pace” is said with a tongue in my cheek… any of them is a fab choice to have and almost all are good enough performance by any measure of reality on uk roads. perhaps it’s me turning 50, tyres; pothole ready, and boot space; accumulated detritus I don’t actually need.

Yep, would prefer the awd. sadly it’s a list of fairly specific models. The only awd electric is an id4 pro life.

I’d move it in the night when I got up to take a **** thing is who’s going to get up to take the space over. we need an app to optimise bladders and chargers. goes of to shed to construct first gen peacharger app.

@cheezemonkhai yep, was the first one I hoped to see on the list. However in reality going and looking; I dare not before I might of just gone for it myself... anyhow the spreadsheet buying, scoring... it lost out on the bootspace. The sister car ionic5 has the trick rear seat slide. SWMBO wasn't totally comfortable in the ev6, she was in the niro so I was disapointed on a few counts. IF the GT was an option, I might of pressed her to try more @Luckypants thanks, I did know that. I was being lazy in planning, I'd done a base up to perth on 10%, then various loops from there out ot the highlands. I pretty much always go that way now to avoid loch lomond and even the callendar roads. I'll redo. SWMBO however even missing out on the fastest, ie a compromised time... she and thus we're happy with the time spent to charge. At least on paper. We do stop alot more often now post various op's. I was even thinking, rather than the crossword or a suduko puzzle, I could go for a walk, ride, jog... try to embrace the make use of my time vs seeing it as a loss. SWMBO asked this morning, I am still wanting electric over phev. I paused for a moment, then said no lets do ev, I think it works ( just ). It's a 4 year lease. Worst case we keep my superb or it's traded in scala/fabia estate. Ideally we'd get her old focus lease, but they want silly money for it, like above WBAC/Motorway, a marked changed from 4 years back where it was peanuts compared to the market. Thanks for the input and thoughts, really, really helpful. Let's see what falls out of the testing of the next few... then it will boil down to tesla or ...
