I went to have a look at a VRS 170crd today as under £18k at the moment with Skoda deals, pitty black edition is a sell out as was a tempting daily hack to abuse

A6? I thought it was a 10 year old A4 with a CR engine. They are still exceptional value tho'.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

A rep at work has one the MD has a new A4 they look more or less the same if anything I like the SEAT front and rear styling better.

This is a general statment not aimed at any reply previously.
So its based on the previous version A4 so what, just because its an older design recalibrated by SEAT imo does not make it bad who's to say newer is better. Newer to me as a design engineer in mechanical and electronics nowadays now meens cost cutting as accountants and pencil pushes now rule the world.
As an example of newer is not always better. When the mk3 golf came out the press raved about it (i have the original reviews still) yet we all now know how the mk2 was a better golf.
I've driven both the SEAT and A4 we have the SEAT version in the family too for me for what it is intended for.its. a match for the Audi in everything but badge snobbery. (why the MD won't have one)

The Superb is an even car imo, especially if you need the space. It's massive.

Yeah the boot is huge and the rear leg room is rediculous. It's a really spacious car

The thing that put me off was the state version isn't included in the no vat deal just the saloon version is.

I think you'd get more than 20% off retail if you found the right dealer  :wink:

I am getting another ED35 as VW are offering some great deals on new cars. I lease mine and I can get a new one for less than I am paying now. No brainer for me. :smug:
