Hi All,

 

Used to own a MK2 superb estate back in 2011 for a couple of years, ended up getting an A6 s-line ultra blackline estate.

 

Wasn't hugely impressed and sold after 3.5 years.

 

We got a Kodiaq edition earlier in the year but as my wife mainly uses it, I wanted something for the dogs.

 

Looked at the market and was close to a Golf R estate, couldn't get over the fact it was a small estate golf. After having diesels for the last 10 years and given the bad press I wanted something a bit different, unfortunately hybrids and electric is not quite there yet for our needs.

 

In the end, I looked at the Superb and realised I could have a great engine and the space and luxury. Just placed the order, apparently there is a 16 week build time which is fine.

 

Ordered in moon white, 19" wheels, rear view camera and heated steering wheel with paddles, kept it slightly under 40k list to avoid the silly new tax.

 

Managed to get 7k off list so happy, now the wait begins.

 

I see from the brochure it has just undergone a mild refresh.

I think the Golf will actually have a bigger boot capacity than your A6 avant.  I know my Leon ST did and I believe the Golf is a little bigger than the Leon. 

 

EDIT: Superb sounds like it will be very nice indeed.  I bet you can't wait?!

Well done, sounds like you got a good deal there.  Great engine and spec!  Why weren’t you happy with the A6 when you had it if you don’t mind me asking!

Thanks , I had quite a few things go wrong with the A6.

 

Constant sensor issues leading to critical engine errors, acc broke on several occasions and GPS antenna broke. We also decided to get a Kodiaq as it had more space for our growing family.

 

It was a beautiful looking car in the spec I had with 20" wheels.

 

As my wife mainly uses the Kodiaq and it always has prams in it I decided I also needed my own estate for taking the dogs out without having to constantly unload each time . Was close to the Golf R estate but settle on the Skoda as it seemed better value for money and spec wise.
