Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've never looked at the 4x4 estates. But since this thread and chatting to a lad off here last night I've looked at a couple. Might be the way I go. Them skoda superb 2.0 170 4x4 look a proper all round motor. They do them in the Passat, Audi A4 and Volvos too. I don't need a 4x4 as such but it would certainly come in handy at times. Haha Gaz you want to make your mind up, on the same day you said these motors were like Lego lol Averaging 45 to 55mpg huge boot and the same build quality as a vw or Audi at a much cheaper price, Where did I say the skoda superb was like Lego? Have a read back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

treecreeper 1,136 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think this will be my next motor... £180 road tax, 0-60 8.9s, 45mpg combined, 4 wheel drive and a little bit more ground clearance than some other estates. Doesn't look too bad either. It just needs the Windows blacking at the back and this in the boot... Look alot better when the arches are colour coded, they have plenty ground clearance though they have adjustable suspension, expensive though compared to a normal a4.

Yeh they definitely need colour coding. Luckily I've got a mate who's an Audi fanatic and a panel sprayer ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
