When I was looking a few months ago I really wanted a Superb but in the end went for an Octavia as I really didn't need the extra room and could get a much better equipped Octavia for the money. I sat in the basic Superb and it was a pretty horrible cheap dash/controls and pretty much no toys - the higher up models are nice though. As has been said, there aren't many second-hand Superbs about so prices remain high (and most of those that do come up are basic spec so probably ex-hire cars).
A friend has the 1.4 engine in a mk6 Golf. Its by all accounts a great engine. Whether I'd want one in an Octavia, let alone a Superb would be a different question altogether. The Superb is one big chunk of car...
You should be aware there's a huge difference between the 1.4 FSI (which even my old dad thought was too underpowered in a Golf, worse than the 1.6 Focus he ended up with which isn't exactly sporty) and the 1.4 TFSI 160bhp one which is fabulous by all accounts.
Thankfully, I'm well aware of the differences... Thanks for checking though 😉
So which one did you like in the Golf then? Curious.
