hi ,

thinking of buying a octavia or a superb ,which would you have and why .which is the best on comfort?? ,best engine ,?? im thinking 2 litre petrol ,around 2021 /22 year.any advise greatly appreciated.

At 6'4 the Superb every time... and if SWMBO wants to drive I can sit in the back and stretch out.... most other cars it's like a sardine can in the back...

Diesel was the king but politics have made them positively satanic - cannot comment on the petrol side of things ... DSG...

Estate here - IKEA billy bookcases no problem... and if yer going on holiday, it all fits in the back without a squeeze....... Good value when going to the tip....... the problem comes in 'economy' car parks where the length of the thing - yer backside is always hanging out...

 

Would I buy another - yes - although after two,  most probably time for a change... would like to ride a little higher and higher motors are easier to get in and out of...       If Skoda were really clever they would revamp the Yeti - make it look like a Defender and charge 50% less....

 

Octavia is basically an 80% sized Superb,  but with better fuel consumption... smaller body, less to wash.... it should be less expensive...  Wifey has a 1.5 SEL (Petrol)  hatch and she loves it - much better than her old Focus,,,, and gets pretty much the same mpg as my 2.0 diesel ( unless I drive like a nun...)

Hello!

For comfort, of the two, the Superb is the one to go for.

I don't think there's a "bad" engine for the Superb.

The best engine to go for is the one you like best. We all have personal preferences and budgets, so I suggest you pick the engine that satisfies your personal preferences.
