I’ve almost had my Superb III for three years. That’s the longest I’ve kept a car, possibly forever. I bought it with less than 200 miles on the clock from a fellow Briskoda’er back in November 2016.

 

Now it’s time for a change. We got back from a holiday in the US a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed the SUV we had as a rental car, so I thought I’d try one in this country. First thought was the Kodiaq along with its Taccora and Tiguan Allspace stablemates, but I eventually decided I didn’t need 7 seats. Today I’ve put down a deposit on a brand new regular Tiguan which I will be collecting on Sunday.

 

On the whole I’ll miss the Superb once it’s gone. It’s not been entirely fault free. I did manage to get the dodgy wiper stalk replaced eventually, but I gave up on ever getting them to sort out the creaking rear suspension, which was still singing away when I took the car out this morning. Latterly a few more creaks and buzzes have appeared in the cabin. The car has only done 30,000 not particularly hard miles but it’s certainly not as tightly built as it was when it was new.

 

From the start I’ve been on here, not a regular poster, but checking in for a read most days. Always a welcoming and friendly forum to visit. I hope the Tiguan equivalent is as good. 

 

Cheers guys.

They always say a change is as good as a rest and you’ll not go far wrong with a Tiguan.

You might not find too many Tiguan fora as ‘lively’ as this one though. 

Didn't Skoda UK open up orders for the SEL/Edition 5 seaters?

I like my creature comforts so I was looking at L&K models. All the ones I saw were 7 seaters.
