Does anyone have any thoughts or insight on the 1.6 and 2.0 EA288 engines in the Octavia II please? I'm most interested in whether reliability is better with one or the other and any known niggles/faults/problems with either. But also interested simply in whether either gets more thumbs up than the other.

Anyone with more than one car ?

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

We have a 13kw solar array currently and 20kw battery bank about to be installed however currently using the supplied 2.4kw wall charger 240VAC @10A The problem: We have be

Superb sportline

Murrayman · Tuesday at 05:322 days

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 2021 Superb S EL. Fantastic car, very comfortable. I’m thinking of ordering a new Superb Sportline. Has anyone driven both these trims and can tell me how to compare for comfort ? I recently tried an Octavia Sportline and it was too firm for me. Every bump was felt in contrast to my Superb. I’m hoping the Superb Sportline will be ok with the DCC in comfort mode but it does have large wheels. I realise I should really get another S EL but the Sportline looks nicer in
