Hi All. I'm a new member and live in Cornwall. I'm about to purchase a Superb Estate 2 litre 150 hp Manual 2016-2018. Can anyone offer any advice please on what is the best model to buy (I'm still a bit confused between the Business and Technology models) and any tips please on what to look out for. Thanks.

Hi, business has less toys than technology. Are some slight variations between years like may2016 to may 2017 compared to may 2017 to may 2018... Like frameless rear view mirror... Infotaiment screen...

 

Make sure start and stop works, not working, points to a weak battery or hiding electrical issues.

 

Just what springs to mind just now...hope it helps.

Check rear discs. Prone to premature rusting. Needed replaced at 2yr9months and 26k miles on my 2018 Superb Estate 1.4Tsi

Thank you for the advice. I'll be sure to check them before buying.

If you go for a petrol TFSI avoid the ones that have a high engine oil consumption.

Thanks. I think I'm going to stick to diesel. I had a Audi A4 Avant petrol TFSI. Great performance but way too thirsty

Thank you, as I may well be  buying a new petrol Superb ,  how does one know if an engine  is a oil burner ?. Are  there some  that are notorious ?
