What's the best thing you've bought for your Superb? I've just taken delivery of a Sportline and I'm excitedly wanting to buy it some welcome gifts 😂

For me it was a double sided (rubber/carpet) boot mat and brighter LED lamps for the lights on the inside of the tailgate. My magnetic GB sticker was useful but I now have to replace it with a UK sticker.

I plan to buy one of the cheap adhesive UK stickers and apply it over my GB magnetic one. Um, if I can afford the fuel to take another trip to Europe!

I've already bought a UK magnetic sticker and used it last month for a trip to Croatia.  It's still on the car as we're off to Lithuania next Thursday to visit SWMBO's family and friends.  Diesel in Poland is currently about £1.38 per litre, so I'll arrive with an empty tank and leave with a full tank which should help to minimise the impact on the pension fund!

Controversial opinion but I can you not just achieve the effects of a pedal box by pushing the throttle a little further?

The effects, yes. The feel, no.

Does it not make it incredibly snappy in Sport / GTE mode?

Not especially. The only time I feel it is in reverse (I think most cars reverse is a slightly higher gear than 1). So I simply jab the pedal a few times instead of press and hold. As the clutch is already engaged on the hybrid there is no slipping to deal with and it pulls away smoothly.

 

The rest of the time it's just a nicer response.

I took it off my iV I found it made the car very lurchy around town especially in B mode.

😆😆 Great in theory, terrible in practice mine ended up like a bar of aero and suffered the same fate 🤬🤬

I think I bought it on eBay.

I had to trim a bit on the bottom corners to fit but it ended up okay

Against fingerprints on the Columbus screen, a good microfiber towel is the most efficient I´ve found.

White cotton driving gloves    

Flush USB charging ports in the cigarette lighter/12v ports, for both front and rear.

Magnetic phone mounts that go into the air vents, really like their design since they don't get in the way and don't stand out. Only problem I have had is that they obscure cold airflow, especially when you're running with two. 🥵

What flush USB charging ports in the cigarette lighter to you use and which magnetic phone holder ?

I got the DIVI brand but if you search for car USB charger on Amazon there are other brands which are identical or better to the one I have. Think ANIOPE is the closest one to mine, FLOVEME has QC. These ones will easily fit into both the front and rear compartment sockets and won't stop any of the compartments closing.

 

And same thing with my magnetic phone mounts. The most similar design is made by Syncwire, the one with the ball joint. Only caveat is that you'll need to attach a plate to your phone, either on the phone itself or on the case.
