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.

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.
