I'm considering getting a Superb, and so far have only been able to test an Elegance with the 170 2.0 engine.

The economy benefits of the Greenline are attractive, but I'm not sure about the compromise in terms of performance, so I'd like to test drive one. Does anyone know of any dealers who might have a Greenline as a demonstrator?

Hi,

I can not tell you which dealer have demo car.

I have 1.9 TDI PD Green Line couple review for you:

1) Green Line comes with DPF filter you need to decide do you want that?

2) About DPF If your journey will be in town in my view I can not recommend As Generally DPF will be regenerating more hard So where is the problem:

a. DPF to regenerate need constant speed and distance 3-6 Miles to Full regeneration completion (as for me work like that)

b. The engine starts pulsing I can fell this on lower gear like second or third Same power reduction little

c. Plus I think it is not recommended to stop drive stop drive as temperature in exhaust increases really high when DPF regenerating

d. The RPM must be from 1700 – 2500 So it is hard will be in tow to do that Plus constant speed

e. If you not completing regeneration in your journey next time you drive it is start again. And engine increasing really fast engine temperatures to start regeneration again. As I think in this time more fuel will be used.

3) Pluses GreenLine comes as more cheaper TAX So more better for company car to be + ROAD TAX 40-60 Pounds cheaper compare without DPF 1.9 TDI

4) Leather package come on greenline

5) Lower suspension looks little better

6) Longer gears

7) Spoiler on back

8) No black smoke from exhaust

9) Full tank about 700 Miles so for me average 50-52 Liters per 600-700 Miles

10) Auto Lights on off

Just all I think if you need more know just write

Regards

HI

Try doing a search on the Skoda site for used Superbs - my Greenline was an ex demonstrator from TransCity in Walthamstow

I had a PD 130 Superb Mk1 beforehand and thought I may miss the performance by dropping to the PD105 engine in the Greenline, and to be honest I did for the first couple of days, then as I got used to the different way the Mk2 drives I found that it still got me from A to B in the same amount of time, and was far more enjoyable to drive, and the economy is STUNNING.

Some people consider the engine to be underpowered given the size of the car, I have not found this to be a problem, its fine for my purposes, I don't need the 140/170 versions and my road tax is only £110 - that's less than my wifes Ka!

The only slight problem I've encountered is the lowered suspension which at times has bottomed out on rough roads, speed humps, I think it's something to do with the length of the wheelbase.

Hope this helps

Steve

Thanks for the advice - having trawled through the used car section on the Skoda site I found a second hand one in Winchester which I'm going to go drive at the weekend. Another one in Bedford had just been sold and then there was a third in Northern Ireland.

So we'll see whether I can cope with switching from a 1.9 Golf to a 1.9 Superb!

I wouldn't rule out a standard 1.9Tdi, which when remapped is good for 700+ miles out of a tank when driven sensibly. The remapped car has just enough grunt to make overtaking more relaxed and most overtaking manoevres can be achieved in 4th or 5th gear.

You'll have no DPF concerns and benefit from a standard 16" spare wheel, unlike the Greenline's useless can of gunk!

The gangster (Sunset) glass on the Greenline is not to my taste and makes it harder to children to see what's going on outside.

I do like the lip spoiler, but wonder whether it makes any real difference to aerodynamics.

Or take a look at the 2.0 140 hp CR - Here is performance and attractiv economy :-)

The spare wheel' doesn't need to be a problem, my Greenline has a full size spare, admittedly bought as an extra (don't believe the brochure!) and the Sunset Glass is only a slightly darker tint than the front, nowhere near the dark tints you see on other cars (e.g. Vauxhall, Ford etc)

I have had no problems with the DPF, my driving is mainly country roads and the occasional dash up the M2 to Bluewater!

I am looking to buy a superb and would like to get an idea of what mpg people are achieving on motorway runs?

My commute is 99% motorway and I travel at 75mph on cruise and wanted to get an idea of what greenline diesels would achieve and what the petrol engines would achieve.

Thanks if you can help.

I have been running a Greenline for the past 3 months and travel all over the UK, mostly on motorway journeys. I'm averaging around 60mpg at the moment (10,500 miles on the clock).

I recently did a couple of long motorway cruises in my Greenline (260 miles each way) with the cruise control set to an indicated 80 most of the way (true 76 according to my sat nav), the fuel computer showed 69mpg on the outward journey (as its 10% optimistic that equates to 62 actual) and 58 on the homeward, but that included 2 hrs stop/start on the M25 (actual about 52). The DPF light showed after this slow period on the M25 (see my other post)

My son in law who was following me in his 59 plate 2 Ltr TDI Passat could not touch the Greenline in the economy stakes, but then I couldn't match his in gear acceleration times!

That is excellent news, I also believe the 1.9 diesel engine is being replaced with the 1.6 Diesel in the next week or so with estimated reduction in running costs and improvement in MPG.

Thanks for posting replies.
