1.9 tdi or, 2ltr 140 or 170 CR for the Octy, or 2ltr 140 170 CR for the superb.
You can get 4 large cases and any extra luggage in the Octy, and in the superb even more, dont get the new 1.6 CR one, they are to under powered
If you never want to get stuck in winter go for the scout 4x4 version.
Go to your local skoda dealers and have a test drive in both, some dealers will match the taxi centre on price[/quote]

I've been told that the seats on the Superb S are more comfortable than those on the SE. Anyone heard of this?

Is there any real difference between the 1.9 and the 2.0 Superb?

Yes.......the 1.9TD engine is louder and brasher and burns a wee bit of oil and the 2.0TD is quieter and more work like in nature and heaps more pleasure to drive...also the 2.0TD 140BHP is plenty adequate to pull a full load of bodies and bags over long distances in relative frugality...why spend £1500+ more on a 2.0TD 170BHP just to increase your insurance premium for no nett gain. :?

They can't build them Superbs fast enough at the moment. Last time I heard it was 3 months wait for one.

Look out a good nearly new one....Ex Demonstrator or suchlike, it'll be nearly £3000 Cheaper for a start.
