Post by: Taxi_Driver on 14 June 2014, 17:33:12
As far as im concerned its a done deal.....

Its a diesel
Its an estate
Its a VW Skoda
Its roughly the same bhp as a 2.5 V6 Omega

Not one of those 1.4 litre turbo jobbies by any chance?

Or perhaps I'm getting Skoda confused with Seat. :(

A 2.0 tdi Skoda Irony, sorry Superb ;D

And hopefully an estate as the saloon/hatch rubbish seriously impedes boot height, and the only reason they look so long is because they're so narrow... the Superb is the only cab I have driven regularly that I can touch the passenger door without stretching, even the Insignia was wider inside :-X

IIRC, Fabia is the Astra sized shitbox, Octavia is basically an A4, then the Superb is the large exec. Nothing else in between?

Acceleration is down to gearing, and the Merc has a twin turbo and a proper drive train, so whilst your trying to find traction, I shall be across the lights and changing up into third ;D

Besides the Merc is better built ;)

Each to their own, I'm 6'5 and about 17 1/2 stone and there's more than enough room in it for me. 45-47mpg on a run and in the 25k I've done in just over 12 months it hasn't missed a beat (unlike certain BMW's I can mention)
