I have decided that it's the time for an upgrade and whilst I was hoping to stay with skoda, as the car was faultless for the last seven years, the lack of petrol engines on Superb III has forced me to look elsewhere. 

Thanks for all the help and support I have found here. 

I have ordered new Mazda 6 GT petrol and hoping it's going to be as reliable as Superb was. 

If anyone is interested in buying my Superb, it's listed in classified section.

When we decided to keep one car for main use and have a second car we had the choice of keeping a 2 year old Maz6 or a 10 year old Superb.  Still got the Superb, no way was I going to drive that Mazda, one long trip in it was enough for me.  I hope yours works out better.

I hope so as well, they have improved it a lot in 2018 facelift. It's at least as comfortable as the Superb for me. Has also all the toys in the top trim and Mazda have really good offer going on at the moment.

I'm still hoping to come back to Skoda in couple of years time, when Superb is finally offered as a hybrid

Aye, ours was a Sport Nav which was top of the range in 2016 when we bought it, had lots of toys but nothing seemed to work right. Not that it was broken just that all the tech didn't work very well and didn't seem to be cohesive.  Felt like a lot of parts built by the cheapest supplier.   The steering in particular was awful.   Felt like no mechanical linkage, as though it was steer by wire,  I'm sure it wasn't.   Bit like Playstation.

I'm curious to know what you were looking for as I thought the MK3 Superb had a pretty good range of petrol engines?

 

Cheers,

I was looking at L&K trim and that only comes with 280ps petrol engine atm. That's a bit of overkill for me 

We're a bit better in that respect over here (Ireland)  - you can have the L&K with a 1.5 Tsi in manual or DSG.  

 

On the other hand - no 2.0 Tsi (not even the new 272HP) is listed for the L&K.

 

Its only listed for the Sportline and only in 2.0 TSI 272bhp 4x4 DSG guise.

Fair enough, I didn't realise that was the case!

That does seem strange - wonder if it's linked to WLTP testing in some way?
