Discounting taxi drivers and private hire companies, that is.

I wonder just what proportion of Superb owners are engineers (I'm one) - as a breed we are usually much more concerned with engineering and construction quality than brand and badge. VFM helps, too.

I'm not a superb owner yet as I'm waiting delivery but I myself am also an engineer. I will pay for quality but never a badge.

I am a Principle Engineer for a Telecommunications company.

I love the Superb because of he sheer quality you get for the money.

There are not many cars you can drive non stop from Bournemouth to Manchester and feel like you have driven from Manchester to Liverpool.

+1 (another engineer)

Another engineer here.

Ahem... yup, another engineer...

Ahem...truck driver use to big and roomy vehicles

Still waiting for mine, but yes, yet another engineer.

I'd get that sat-nav fixed if I were you. Oh, teacher, by the way.

Not an engineer.

I'm also a Communications Manager / Communications Technician & instalation Engineer, working in Basra, Iraq..

Well at the moment I have two jobs/businesses. I am a pro photographer, doing weddings and portraits etc and this would be my one and only business as it is my passion, but sadly it doesn't quite pay enough to cover the bills so my other business is in Private Hire, I know you said to discount it but I am more a Chauffeur than a Taxi.

I only do upper class work within the corporate business world or on the odd occasion celebrities/sports stars etc. The company that supplies me with most of my work urged me to get an E-Class or a 7 Series but I refused to even think about it unless they subsidised the cost, of which there was no chance. They have now seen my Elegance and the Boss has even been driven in it and their attitude towards it has changed somewhat, for the better of course lol

So, you use your Superb to chauffeur around your `upper class` customers...very nice.

Certainly more rear leg room in the Superb than in a Merc 'S' Class, unless it is a stretched one.

I chopped in a 7 series against my Elegance estate. The dealer still has it and apparently the salesmen are taking turns to take it home at night. Until it needs filling up, of course...

Not so. My Beemer was a 750 iL (the factory 'stretch' model) and I was sad enough to measure it - the Superb has more space

Automotive Engineer, so yes, another!

PhD in computer science. Would not say that badge is of absolute unimportance, not in my country .

Engineer titles are ten a penny these days. Used to work in a company that had ' sales engineers', aka salesmen. Think it was done to justify their salary level.

My uncle used to work for Laing and always complained about 'mechanics' who were actually fitters.

Anyway, not a true engineer here.

I'm chopping my MkI for a MkII next Monday and I'm an accountant. We're already planning to take it to Lithuania next June and this is the sort of journey it's built for. We went to Lithuania and Belarus last month in the MkI and clocked up nearly 3,500 miles. What car can you spend 10 hours behind the wheel and not feel stiff or aching at the end of your journey?

Not as much rear legroom as the Merc R Class LWB that I chopped in for the Superb, though. But at 24.5 mpg long term average, no contest really. And the Superb is better built.

Electro-mechanical engineer here.........just can't knock the quality

One mechanical design engineer here
