Hi,

Tried to finally introduce myself the other day but kept getting errors and finally found out the server was being rebooted so kept dumping my posting.

I have been lurking on the list for a couple of years since I discovered it when I was doing research for replacing my aged Puegeot 405 GLDt. It came down to a choice between 2 cars a Peugeot 407 and the Superb. Apart from in my view the Superb blew the 407 out of the water in so many areas the Peugeot dealer shot himself in the foot but that is another story. I went for the Superb 1.9 TDi in Sahara Beige with an Ivory interior and have not regretted one moment since. My Superb has just hit a really sweet spot and seems to be returning more MPG than before. Just done a run Portsmouth to Chester about a week ago to collect daughter from university and on the way back the car was packed boot and back seat to the top. Also had enough fuel to run about for about a week after work etc... Last tank returned 714.3 miles and took 57 litres to refill. I work that out to be 55.8 MPG. Travelled back down A34 most of the way in the company of a nice FabiA vrs Special think the reg was OY 07 FEM.

I may have been lucky but seem to have not a bad local dealer.

Skoda seems dominant in our family my wife has a Fabia VRS Special edition, sister an Octavia 1.9 Elegance estate and just got my sister in law in to a very low milage 08 Roomster 3. Her car of choice she previously had a Felecia but had changed to a Hyundai Trajet as she needed the extra seating but is glad to be back in a Skoda. Have not convinced my kids yet. Just seen the post on the super rally 12th July and am frantically trying to book holiday / swap shifts so I can come along - hopefully can convince my wife to come along with her VRS (my weekend play toy when I can get it off her).

Happy motoring.

Dave
