    it's a saloon :)

    but it has a dual boot.

    in the 2016 model it only opens as a hatchback but remains a saloon car. _very_ spacious cars. I've owned 3 since 2010.

    Liftback. Anathema to Irish people until BMW/VAG said they were OK to buy now.

    Wasn't it the Japs that were bringing in lift back corollas years before all that?

    Yes, to a country where "saloons are posh" and "only protestants drive estates".

    Honda didn't even bring in liftback models of several cars to Ireland as "only young/poor people drive anything but 4 doors in ireland" :pac:;)

    But it's ok now, such beauties as the 5GT have lifted the spell.

    Sorry that should be an 09:o

    Anyway bringing one in from the UK and there's a big difference between VRT on the 4 and 5 door, thus the question. But the answer seems to be 5 door as that is what is on the log book.

    I think there were older 4dr (Passat shape) Superb's still being sold in 2009 so that may be the difference on the VRT Calculator

    I have a 2012 Superb. Must admit that the dual boot is a bit of a gimmick. If you open the small boot then you have only minimum access to the boot. To open the full boot you have to go through a 2 stage process to unlock the hinge. I think it was a good idea to save weight and complexity by removing this facility in the newer model. I would much prefer a rear wiper than the dual boot.
