Off on long term sick due to fracturing my elbow so I decided to walk up to the local auto plaza.

They have a 60 plate Superb SE estate for £18,995 with 7000 miles on the clock

Now I have always said I wanted this as my next car, but I have only had the Octavia for 9 months! I was thinking more in the future when my boy is bigger and needing more leg room (he's only 16 months old), but having only sat in it, I really liked it. I know the elegance has more bits, but my wife doesn't like leather so I guess when the time comes it will be the SE+

All in all very jealous of you lot and roll on 3 or 4 years where I can justify spending the extra money on a bigger car and probably not before the wife replaces her Jazz

Never a good idea - window shopping can be dangerous, particularly with cars

Also, what the hell is an auto plaza?! :p

Even then, an Octy will provide enough legroom for him for quite a few years to come!

Loads of car garages

Skoda, Honda, Seat, Ford, Peugeot, Merc, Nissan, Toyota and Jag

I know the leg room will be fine for a while yet, but for some reason I want to keep getting different cars. I even found myself looking at the Fabia vrs in the for sale section even though I traded mine in :no:

No problem changing cars with regularity - just as long as you manage to avoid loosing money....

True. The Fabia was a mistake, but I was happy paying £8,300 for the current Octavia

Need to persuade my boss to give me a company car then I can get a new car every 3 years

Oh no!!

It's a very dangerous thing sitting in a new car!!

I owned a MKI Superb that I loved to bits, a company B5.5 Passat that I drove came NOWHERE near it for build quality, I then made the mistake of driving a (10 plate?) new Passat Estate and I was smitten all I could think about was if the new Passat was so much better than my MKI then how much better would a MKII Superb be than the new Passat :think:

The answer was A LOT!! driving that Passat ended up costing me £26k for a new Superb Combi

But they are great

likewise

My wife would have killed me. Roll on a few more years though when its time to change as its definitely going to be a superb

I have the 1.8 SE estate and it is brilliant. I choose it over the elegance partly on cost grounds but also for the alcantara / fake leather seats and the fact that with tom tom I didn't need satnav. Came from an octavia hatch and the difference in comfort, refinement and lack of noise is amazing. I feel your pain...

Lack of noise. Blimey I thought the Octavia was quiet. Yea I can't wait, something I can look forward to anywho
