Is that inc service, maintanence and tyres?

If it is then Skoda must be confident the residuals will be strong, I make it a TAP of 11300 from what will be a 16k car, I wonder what the right to purchase after 3 yr is?

How many people will want the ancient 1.9 diesel engine in basic spec? Most orders will be for SE/Elegance with with the newer engines so that should be the benchmark when it comes to comparing contract hire/lease quotes

ancient but tried and tested and good old skool torque delivery instead of the linear delivery the CR offers.

The 1.9TDi in the Superb actually works fairly well and will be the most popular choice for urban taxis. The long distance taxis will probably opt for the bigger engine with the 6 speed gearbox.
