Auto or manual? Anything likely to shit itself with it? I'm getting bored of looking for the 'right' pokey 3 series touring and approaching a point where I'll settle for anything a bit more modern than the charming grandadvolvo I waft around in.

I've had a Mondeo estate, Passat saloon and now Superb estate. First two were 2 litre diesels, Superb is 220 TSi petrol.
Mondeo was a nicer car than most people gave it credit for, it was decent to drive. I eventually killed it by driving through a flood and water got into the air intake.
The Passat was comfortable and maybe a touch more sprightly than the mondeo but the handling was vague, I found it tiring to drive on the motorway as it felt disconnected from the road.
The Superb is great. Not wholly a fair comparison as the Skoda is newer, petrol, DSG etc. But it's a great car. I would recommend if you can find one second hand but we are not over the diesel hump yet in 2nd hand market.

oops - it's the DSG.
I've kept on top of everything since i have had it - I've done the belts, brakes, tyres, air con, dsg oil, etc. only issue i have had ia a bearing and the brakes. the tyres (michelin) are about 27k old. the cam belt is due next year, the dsg oil the year after.
i absolutley love it, i really do. it is a normal golf when you want it to be and fun when you want to be a fanny. i need to consider a towing car. I'm not in a rush to sell.
If you want to have a drive, let me know.

Is anyone after a MK5 GTi? 5 door, silver, 75k miles, leather, all the gadgets.
I am going to sell my soul and buy a dadwagon.
Unless Neil sells me the big bomber c55...
