Hi,

My wife is suffering from Chronic Migraines and I'm looking for one of these, as quiet transport. I test drove a new one and it was practically silent at a cruise, my current 170 diesel is not noisy, but you do still have  a low level diesel rumble present. I've been keeping my eyes open for one for the last few weeks, but nothing on the Skoda website or Autotrader (apart from a new L&K).

So ideally, not too new (cheaper), in excellent condition, dark interior and no sunroof, but would consider any vehicles available.

Thanks and Regards,

Tony

Sorry can't help with finding a car but I can say that my 3.6 is very quiet at cruising speed. Does it have to be an estate? The only reason I ask is that the twin door will probably be quiter because of its more isolated cabin.

There is a nearly new Elegance for £24K but I'm pretty sure you could get this for under £20K...

It does have a light interior though, but no sunroof at least.

 

They are as rare as rocking horse poo.

Thanks for the thoughts gents.

Good choice of car, I was looking for the same vehicle for 6 months and could not really find what I liked in that very limited market.

 

So I compromised and purchased a hatchback,its better than I was expecting  .

Other option is to get your current car soundproofed . Many audio specialists can significantly reduce the noise in the cabin

Doesn't have to be the V6. I have the 2.0 litre petrol and you cannot hear the engine on the inside (and hardly at all when outside) I expect the 1.8 petrol will be the same.

I think that the 2.0 TSi is quiet, (except when leaving a stoplight in "S" mode!) but you can hear a bit of noise at motorway speeds.

Maybe the twin-door is a little quieter than the estate?

Our old V6 Mondeo had more noise from the rear of the car than an equivalent hatchback.

V6 thread resurrection

Did you get a V6 in the end? Mine is very quiet at speed. It's also very quiet when stationary.

Yesterday I scared the cr#p out of my mother in law whilst I was sitting in the (running at idle) car on the drive uploading some bits and bobs from the SD card to the Columbus...she walked past and I honked the horn. She jumped two feet poor girl...she was not best pleased but said that she did not hear the car running

Did you buy Chunks off here (Briskoda)?

There are 2 on the Skoda used car web site

 

One darn sarff, 15K ( estate )

 

One in Belfast,  £13.995  ( Twin door )

consider a passat r36 maybe?
