Hi

Just thought I would let everyone know how well my new Superb 4X4 recently performed at the Caravan Clubs National Rally. Due to heavy rain the entrance onto our allocated field was very, very muddy. Most caravans and motor homes were having to be towed on and off the site by tractors. Most 4X4 cars managed to tow their caravans through the mud although several got stuck, I even saw a X5 being towed out. I was concerned about the 18" low profile tyres but undeterred I thought I'd have a go and amazingly the Superb carried on pulling my caravan through the mud without any problem at all. Even the marshalls and gathered crowd were surprised to see the Skoda estate treading where others had failed to go.  Having previously towed with a Kia Sorento I would say from this experience the Skoda is even better. If you have a Skoda 4X4 and get the chance to test its abilities have a go like me you will be surprised how good it is. One tip though is to keep the power on and not to ease off as it gives the rear drive chance to work properly. No wonder it won the tow car of the year 2014 competition.

 

 

Sounds good! I wanted it to snow or at least get icy over the winter just gone...turned out to be one of the warmest!

Hope next time itll give me the chance to play with the 4wd properly! I can always go and find a muddy field somewhere I guess!

 

The attached photo shows how bad the conditions were.  Hope this works as my IT skills are not the best.  Only downside was the washing all the Cheshire mud from car and caravan but it was well worth it.

Great read for me as I too am making the change from a sorento to the 4x4 superb, was concerned that it may be useless in testing conditions when towing but glad to hear it raised a few eyebrows!!

Great result, although I hope you didn't exceed the 5mph speed limit whilst giving it the beans

Your IT skills are fine.

Superb 4x4 - wow wow!
