Erm…. Sunny Milton Keynes, home of the roundabout 😂 or maybe food/hotel vloggers In all honesty just the positive vibes when you guys are all together bantering is good watch after a long day at work!
Great video. Good to see a review of a car I'm interested in, doing the thing that I'll be doing with it, i.e. driving across Europe. My summer holidays are basically putting all of the camping and kayaking gear into the boot of my 17 year old Audi A4 Avant and going on a glorified pub crawl across Europe, whilst buying a fridge magnet or two. Most recently we went for a wee drive and ended up in Montenegro of all places. 12 countries in total (6 of those were on the first day). As much as I love my car, it is starting to show its age (its brake pipe failed catastrophically whilst getting its MOT and not, thank god, 4 weeks prior when we were traversing the Hahntennjoch Pass) and as we add to our camping kit, the boot space is finding it hard to keep up. I've been a fan of the Superb ever since getting one from the airport in Prague a few years ago.
@ No. A hybrid possibility. Even with a PHEV you have to plan when to charge. The idea of a car is freedom to travel whenever you want. With a diesel it’s fill and go for at the minimum 450 miles. Even my wife’s diesel Clio we can round a 300 miles trip to our daughters and drive round town for another week.
@WilliamLaverick-wo1nb why do you have to plan with a PHEV? When the battery runs out, the car doesn’t stop. It just uses the engine like a normal ICE car and you carry on your merry way. I didn’t plan a single stop from the UK to Italy.
@ Precisely you immediately start using more fuel than my diesel. Your PHEV has the additional weight of the battery. PHEV = ICE + fuel + battery. Diesel ICE + fuel
@WilliamLaverick-wo1nb this is not my car, William. It’s Skoda’s. It did 63mpg all day long over 1,000 miles. The differences are minimal with a diesel. In fact, the diesel Octavia estate lead car managed 47mpg on the same route. Still not sure where any planning comes into driving a PHEV?
DON'T BUY, the car is a disaster! Full of software faults that make the car dangerous. Mine has been in the dealership for 4 months waiting for Skoda to pull their finger out and sort out software. I only drove it 5 miles before the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with fa. Skoda are now giving full refunds. Question is,as so many cars around Europe have these faults and Skoda can't sort the faults after 4 months , did Skoda know? Are they guilty of knowingly selling un-roadworthy cars?
Has to be my favourite Rob video! Love this upbeat style and branching out of car reviews… can only imagine the fun if all three of you were there!
That’s very kind of you to say! We’d love to do more adventures together as a three next year. Where (within reason) would you like to see us go?

We could drive around every roundabout in Milton Keynes until one of us throws up 😂

Thanks for watching! It sounds like the Superb might be a great option to replace the A4!
Turns out it's quite difficult to point a camera at your own face - a new found level of respect for vloggers
Have you considered that you might just be, a massive idiot
@@BuckleUpShowoh all the time
Fantastic car
The ideal grand tourer as it turns out
Nice review 👍🏻…..incredible to think the Irish version even in L&k is missing the front camera 😮
Thanks! It always amazes me what weird spec differences there are between countries
My diesel Octavia gets 67 mpg.
Would you ever consider a PHEV?

Are you just going around every Skoda video commenting this underneath?
Two things:
1) the scenery in this is achingly pretty
2) Rob has appeared on camera wearing SHORTS 🫨🫨 (may need to ask for his resignation)
He will be reprimanded appropriately
@ excellent
We would like to see a direct comparison to using a horse and carriage please
