Taxi Driver Online

Hi All
I'm just about to buy a Skoda Superb MKII, I'm not sure what engine to go for.
I will be buying a car around 09 plate so it will be a choice of a 140PD or 170CR engine. I would like to hear comments from people that are running the different engines, and any recommendations you may have?

The Type of driving I do is 75% long runs 25% urban.

Thanks for your help in advance.

i run a 62 plate S spec superb 1.6 TDI and it has plenty on punch, but your car will be an 09 plate so you have the choice of 1.9 TDI PD what skippy runs or a 2.0 140 PD or 170CR but the superb is a great car and the space is brill especially in the back, are you after a hatch or estate? either way it is a great car

2.0lt 140 bhp mk2 superb here, had it 3 years, 105,000 on clock and it's still as sweet as bell and it has amazing acceleration and grace.

If you can find a 1.9 tdi or the newer 2ltr 140 CR., the early 2ltrs where TDI, the new CR units
the 2ltr 140 tdi, has a problem with the oil supply to the turbo due to the oil pump failing

I aint too sure you've thought this out completely

Your talents are being waisted CC, you should apply to the VW Audi group as a test driver, as your the only person known to have wrecked a skoda, by driving one

skoda,vw,audi,seat are the best brands out, the vauxhalls aren't made for taxiing fords are the same , the best taxis are the passat, octavia, superb, toledo all these are the no 1s in this area

best by £ spent or just best?

what about a BMW or Merc saloon/hatch? given your area has no-one plated a 4x4?

best of both worlds for ££ and reliability, i personally haven't seen one 4x4 taxi/ph up here but the VAG group are defo the favs up here not audi really but the rest are popular

in about 4 years time there should be a nice 4x4 tdi superb estate available within my price bracket

the Audi is the expensive VAG model

a PH 4x4 could charge the earth when it snows, theres a Honda CRV plated in Cannock
