    OT: pricing for the estate seems to be out now. c. €1100 over the hatchback.

    I'd reckon the Superb definitely needs the 2l. 105 PS may be enough in a car the size of a Focus(the S40) but I can't see it being any good in the much bigger Superb. The only reason to get the 1.9 is if you want a Greenline model with the lower road tax. If you're going to buy a band C Superb you might as well get one with more power. The 170 PS is only €700 more than the 140 PS and it is the CR engine so would be a bit quieter. In the 1.9 TDI's favour is that it really is a VW engine that lives up to the old slogan "if only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen", they are pretty much bullet proof.

    No Greenline Combi AFAIK. Price list is not on the Skoda site yet. Only 2 diesels so far: 1.9 PD 105 (:() and the 2.0 CR 170. No sign of the 2.0 CR 140 available in the UK.

    Dont agree with that description at all tbh, it feels like its got more than 105bhp IMO. About a year ago, travelling with a friend of mine in his passat 1.9tdi 105, we hit 130mph so they certainly are'nt as bad as you might think at all, whats more the superb is a refined car so wouldnt call it noisy most of the time either..

    They are the same people who heard that off someone else down the pub!

    I've driven a Superb 1.9Tdi. It's no rocket, but it wasn't as bad as I expected for a car that size. Adequate would be a good description of the performance.

    Well regardless of what the people are saying thats the only one i can order, Update here today in the Job is... Basically they are seeing about me taking the Ambiente Superb in 1.9 with NO extras, Ill just take what i can get at this stage!, ill do a deal direct with the dealer and get 17"'s on and a sports tailpipe!

    EDIT - They may allow the Combi, Its just extras they dont want me putting me on, in case i upset the underlings!

    I was looking at one of these (saloon) yesterday. It's really huge in the back and the cream interior looks really nice.

    Unfortunately the interiors are all black unless you go for the elegance model (which has stuff I wouldn't be prepared to pay for such as the satnav).

    I don't know why they don't make a cream interior for the cheaper models - it can't cost any more.

    I confirmed with a skoda dealer the other day that if you are buying the ambition model (Half Leather) changing it to Ivory is a no cost option, so it is available on all models bar the comfort
