Skimpy, can you please learn to use the reply button, so your posts follow on from one another alongside the replies from others in a single thread? Rather than several of your posts with replies beneath each, which makes it rather difficult to follow what on earth you’re on about….

Because the new Superb js about to be launched & the current gen looks quite dated compared to the Octavia that came out in 2020 (look at the infotainment & compare to its rivals). For context I have a ‘21 Octavia vRS so rather like the brand!

I had the 1.8TSI DSG and had horrendous problems with the slipping auto 'box, coolant leaks and clunky suspension. After 7 years of NOT getting issues fixed, somebody did me a favour and wrote it off for me, this is NO A4 or Passat, far from it! Since then I've been driving a new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid which has been 100% faultless, not even a squeak for the last 3 years.

So make a new post? A corsa isnt an alternative to a Superb.

The 1990’s just called, they want their joke back.

I've never managed to get a car in our garage. They all seem have been designed around the dimensions of a 1977 Ford Fiesta...

Hmmm. I think you'll need all the discount you could get new, to offset the resale value later.

Big Citroen saloons have never held their value

Thats a key point you didnt really include there isnt it? Its a year old car.

Bit unfair to be comparing the price of a year old car to a new one.

Also, Skoda know the sweet spot and most popular engine power is around the 150BHP mark for family saloons. Yes, yours is 225BHP, but thats more than the vast majority of people expect, want or need in this class.

Big Citroen saloon cars have always been unloved on the used market and it will be valued as such come trade in time.

Glad you're happy with it though, thats the main thing.

Everyone is having its own preferences.
energy blue especially during the night is superb looking.

It's not 2002 anymore, the little petrol engines are as powerful as a 2.0 TDI (in my case even more powerful than the 2.0 TDI in the same car). When I bought my Audi I actually only considered the 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI engines and ended up buying a 1.4 TFSI as the 2.0 TDI felt sluggish compared to the 1.4 TFSI and the 2.0 TFSI was stupidly expensive in comparison.

On top of that... I did a "little" road trip in June and July, covered 3500 miles around Europe and came back with 47mpg result. I did the same trip last year when petrol was significantly more expensive and driving a bit more eco, sticking to 120km/h / 70mph I was just under 55mpg. Diesel engines don't even have the economy advantage anymore.

This is on an A4 which is not much smaller than a Superb. I'm now on 85k miles and apart from changing the timing belt, I've not done a single thing on the engine and it's in perfect condition. They don't even suffer from the oil consumption they used to 10-15 years ago. There really is no downside. These 1.4-1.5 petrol engines are very common in fleet vehicles and can easily go up to 200k miles without any serious issues. So your "don't expect it to last 50k miles" is not even an exagerattion, it is just plain misinformation.

U have it or just guess work?

This isn’t a VAG Group issue, its an every other car producer issue. Kia and Hyundai have been offering a plethora of extras as standard for years. Value for money against the vast majority of other car manufacturers is staggering.

Correct me if i'm wrong here - your car is actually 2022?
