Today I'm in a SKODA SUPERB. Let's see what it's like.
#skodasuperb #skoda #highpeakautos
I've had two of those - each ran 250.000 km with minimal trouble. Now I have a 2016 Superb which has done 410.000 km with minimal trouble. Each have had to be towed once, one for a faulty battery, one for a seized water pump and one for a shredded alternator belt. All 2.0 diesel (170, 170 and 190 Hp) with DSG6.
It amazes me that people don’t seem to look after their cars particularly the interior considering how expensive cars are to buy and run. I’ve got a 17 year old Mini Cooper that is still like new and it doesn’t take too much effort to keep that way.
Have you driven it yet ?
@@merlin7654 yeah at least 8000 miles per year
@@RICHARD10195 buy a new car and have fun, a 17 Yr old Cooper, eugh. I bet you have old jars of pickles in your cupboard from 2006 aswell.
@@merlin7654 I do have fun thanks I’ve got 3 motorbikes for that. Don’t need to waste money on new cars when they tend to last a while when you look after them.
People are people but I never cease to be amazed how dirty and ill kept some of these car are. I would hate to see their houses.
I would say the dent by the filler flap was done by the rear corner of a small flatbed truck or trailer whilst turning. I have a similar shaped dent on an offside rear door of a Mondeo which was done whilst parked on the roadside.
It looks like it is borderline being an auction car, by the time you tot all the pounds required to make it retail worthy, where at the end of the day it is still a high ish mileage big car with a small engine and mediocre spec. I know good stock is hard to come by just now though. Treading carefully with the dosh on this one I would say is required. 👍
Agreed! It's a 10-11 YO car that has been serviced, but needs a fair bit of paint to get it looking nice, as well as a few bits of trim. I honestly would have been reluctant to give them a grand for it, never mind the money being talked about in the video. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole for over a grand, even if it has just had a new cam-belt.
Yes, I'm no expert but I'd say it all boils down to how much he can get it painted for in the trade. In my experience bodywork costs a fortune!
Hopefully we'll get an update on this car.
It sounds like a vw golf TDI
@@slappypistongaming7835 well I suppose it's the same engine?
I think a Superb estate is the ideal car for dogging. Back seats down, big enough for a mattress. Nice big windows for the viewers. Leave it in that spot once it's ready and it'll definitely sell.
I think it got Car of the Year in Dogging Magazine for just that! Gangbangin gave it 5*

I own a Superb estate from late 2012, same color, better interieur and with a 2 litre TSI engine, its a nice car, smooth to drive und a lot of space :)
Crazy how a 10 year old superb with 120k on is worth potentially 5k.
In 2014 (I know, different times...) I bought a 10 year old 3 series estate in decent nick with similar miles for £2.5k.
In hindsight I would have preferred a superb as the BMW was nothing but trouble for the 5 years I had it, although as someone in their low-20's, an estate with beige leather was Werther's enough - I would have received some serious stick in a gold superb!
Its diesel these things do 400k
I’m 20 and I’ve got a 2010 black 320d estate with beige leather and I think it’s magnificent, most of pals do too when they get in
It's probably for space inside. Massive space in back seats and biggest boot on its class. You can get any better. And diesel engines when well maintenanced can do 300-400k and more.
Another great video Matt, love this format where you take us with you as you look round it for the first time. Another thing you might have to buy is the umbrellas for the doors too?
I had the 1.6 and upgraded to a 2 litre. Much smoother and better engine. The 1.6 had all sorts of EGR and particulate filter issues. The 2 litre has now done 363k km with heavy trailer pulling and lots of abuse and still does not use any oil between oil changes which it gets every 30k/2years! The 1.6 used a lot of oil during winter. Would never recomend the 1.6 on such a heavy car. Also the 5 speed is actually geared suuper heavy. At redline in 5th gear this car would do 270km/h if it had the power to pull itself to redline. Load it up with people and you have the must gutless car in traffic.
I had both DMF and DPF changed on a company Octavia 1.6tdi of that vintage. Dealer even dented the rear bumper for free when they did the dpf,and forgot to reconnect the anti roll bar! Suspect both issues due to towing caravan with it.
2nd gear is very long 9n them as well.
i always give the garage a bell with the reg and ask if the cambelt was done, saying im the new buyer...twice a few calls of 5mins saved me £300-450 fingers crossed for you, Merry xmas mate
Yep, in today's market, it's probably worth tarting up - and I'd say a tidy profit to be made there too. Nice find, Matt.
What would be good to see, is, in the next video, a follow up on what you actually sold a cheap car like this for (not the exact price as I'm sure as a customer they wouldn't appreciate it), as a range say, or even as simple as did you get between 4 and 4.5 as predicted?
I'd like to see it when it's all fine and dandy Matt. Always loved these huge, reliable, comfortable motors.
I really do like it, with a paintwork refresh, a new emblem on the rear and a thorough detail, this Superb will make a great car for someone!❤️.
Bought myself a Honda Accord Tourer CM2 recently, massive boot too. Its so lovely to be able to stow stuff without a trailer.
I was waiting for this video! That 1.6 TDi is not a bad engine. A bit industrial for an ocean liner like the superb but it does the job. I agree that the margin could be close on this one, but all in all a great car. PS: Definitely(eyeball )Halogen headlights fitted on that model (Manual height adjuster is next to the light switch). What a great channel 👍
I test drove the 1.6 diesel in 2012. I loved it for what it was. The fact that there was no power didn't seem to matter, I instantly became more relaxed when driving it.
1.6 litre not big enough , good review because good description of the work required . Gives a good breakdown of the work needed to sell a cheap car !
I’d love to see an after video to see how it looks after the bodywork is sorted and it’s had a good valet. I reckon there’s a decent profit in it 👍🏻
I had the 170bhp diesel with dsg in a hatch, always fascinated by the way the boot could split into a boot or a actual hatch..Very clever. Faultless car, backseat legroom was on par with a limo, and the umbrella in the rear doors which you got for Czech diplomats , fascinating car..👍

How long did you own it for? Any problems with the DSG?
Gearbox was brilliant, had no issues with the car at all, ok it was not the fastest car, but for normal driving and trips across Europe it had plenty of room in the rear for leg space. I had no issues at all with it, or 2 other previous Skoda's. Although both of them was manual gearboxes. I had the Superb for a couple of years.
So long as you don't mind it being tied up for a couple of weeks in prep, it'll definitely make a car. Looks £4795 on a tidy forecourt to me, which leaves a reasonable return for your outlay!
Fantasy land,even in this bloated market. Lucky to grab 4k for what in my a rational market is a 3k vehicle.
🤣🤣🤣
@@brencelt sorry auto trader, have I offended you?
Absolutely spot on - in fact in the current inflated market conditions it's a 4995 car fully cleaned up on the forecourt allowing for a bit of over allowance on a P/x. These Superb estates are good news and not exactly common either.
@@brencelt here where i am they sell 2011 leons or golf for 10k euros so u lucky to get a 2011 superb for 4k
I’d be interested in follow up videos of these ones you do. Thanks for another great video
Strangely the impression I got was that this is the sort of car that would be great for me at the price you bought it. I would only do the valet and cam belt and could live with the rest. I would only do the valet and cam belt and could live with the rest. However, it doesn't seem such a good buy for you as there is too much needed to get it to 'retail' condition and your suggested price seems a little high compared to the examples of this mileage that you can find online (even from other dealers). For me, its a shame so many auctions are now trade only!
Size of the Superb estate boot they could have been transporting a pony !
For me I'd get it valeted - locate a parcel shelf and use as it is - but I am thinking use not retail - I can live with scratches and minor dents but I know people paying £4-5k for a 100k + mile car expect mint for some reason
You are very honest Matthew a lot of dealers would put 3 months warranty and hope lighting £5 worth of candles and prayer will allow cambelt to run out the warranty.
I wish you luck with this one; it seems like a bit of a dog, though. I would leave the scratches alone, replace the badge and the broken interior trim, inside/outside valet, get the MOT, cross fingers and hope to make £750 on it.
Great video. Fascinating run through, from a professional perspective of all of the potential issues and areas of concern that come from buying in something like this. I would be happy to have that car for that price. Clean it, fix the mechanicals, leave the bodywork, then run it for 3 years for less than the price of a months fuel for a Range Rover Evoke 2.0 diesel....
Throw a mattress in the back and leave it there over night unlocked.
See you there!
I do like a Skoda Superb estate however, feel like this one was probably over priced by about £400-£500 considering the resale value.
You don't go easy on your gf to leave her tighter for the next guy. I wouldn't be reselling a car like this, just wait until it dies.

Just bought one for £950 170bhp gotta say one of my best purchase
Thanks for all your hard work this year. Great videos, keep it up :)
Thanks for watching
absolutely love your content Matt! keep up the good work
I'm in the final year of a BMW lease and considering scaling down for a few years until electric cars become better/more affordable. With a dog and two children at university, a Superb looks like a decent option.
They are decent. But don't expect much from a refinement (road noise and mainly) standpoint especially the ones with larger, lower profile tyres.
I know my 2016 superb sportline with 19inchers could be better.
Single pane glass and bare doors also mean external noise insulation is so so.
Otherwise, they are brilliant.
Find a Laurin & Klement spec car
These cars have never been imported into the US, so we are totally unfamiliar with them but I once rode in a Spanish taxi and it seemed fairly good.
Think VW Passat wagon around 2007 ish and this is really similar
At least they left the torch/boot light. When I looked at our car pre purchase (Skoda Superb late mk2 estate) I took some photos and in the boot the light was clearly visible, but on collection it was missing. I provided the evidence to the retailer and they supplied a new one... won't be changing anytime soon as just cleared the pcp... this is one of Skodas finest, even prefer the shape over the mk3.
Did you still have the umbrella in the rear door? Mine was missing.
@@andrewlaw yes, but I haven't used it yet... 4 years later... but thanks for reminding me! Happy Christmas!
Hi mate i love ur videos and yes i enjoyed that previous video of the skoda superb. Its definitely a car i might consider soon. I currently drive a skoda rapid as a taxi which ive had for 5 years and i love it. Skodas are definitely a brilliant cheap and reliable car to have 👍🏼😁
A skoda estate ... from Rochdale ... oh dear.
Good luck with this one mate.
From a resell point of view why not instead of a side repaint job, try first to find a compound that fills in scratches and there are plenty about in Halfords. Valet YES a must have on any car that has been used for Dogging, as no telling what dried fluids may have occurred over its years of use. Engine sounds good - yeah resell value I'd put around £5K.
Excellent Matt well done on this latest acquisition
We have a 110k Octavia Scout 4x4 which has been great. It's a tough car that's ideal for bad rural roads. Bulbs do seem to go on it and the high level brake LED has blown. One fuse gets kind of oxidised every now and then which can throw a lot of lights out but it's an easy fix with a bit of sandpaper. Spare wheel cover is weak and has caved in and the central air vent has gone exactly like your one.
You really cant compare Octavia to Superb. Octavia is just piece of crap and Superb is flagship.
You had me going at the start of the video. I was thinking, damn, it's got nice red seats just like that BMW Matt just tested. ;-)
I love all your reviews Matt, been here pretty much from the start. I just wondered, recently you’ve been showing some of the cheaper cars you deal in/with. Do you get more interest (from viewers/subscribers) in the cheaper cars or the more expensive ones?
It's more relatable for us plebs 😃
I recently bought a 2012 Superb estate 1.6 tdi "Greenline" Executive with 93k miles. Fairly minty condition except for a minor dent and a tiny spot of rust. Before the Superb I had a 2017 Passat 2.0 R-Line bi-Turbo executive with only 4k miles. Call me insane but I like the superb better.
just looking at a 2012 superb estate 1.6 tdi. How's yours been?
Just bought a 2013 Superb 1.6 diesel SE+ Hatchback in the same colour, Cappuccino Beige, with 58,600 miles and electric memory seats and Amundsen+ head unit with Sat Nav to replace my old 2007 Octavia L+K Hatchback and they're beautiful cars with bags of room in them
Everyone uses it as a family car/working mule, i modified it to my taste, it's a car you never see modified, so mine's pretty unique now, proud of it, it's an amazing car and the sloping rear makes it beautiful to behold in my opinion. Love my MK2 Sup fl 🔥
Gongrats with the purchase 👍🏼
This generation of the Superb is so much nicer to look at in estate form. I vaguely remember Fifth Gear comparing it to an E Class back in the day
@@khrisbharath752
Yes and it only lost by small margins too, considering that generation E was way more expensive as a full option new Superb mk2, it's a no brainer for me, but i still get people who prefer the E.
@@khrisbharath752 still comparable to an E class. Does everything as well except general refinement (road noise, insulation)
You're going to get a reputation if you keep picking up cars in that place Matt. Mind you, you could gain a whole new clientèle. Might be quite lucrative, as long they don't want to pay you in kind!
😁
Any car with Chinese ditch roller tyres, is a car that has clearly been loved by mechanically sympathetic former owners. Basically the poor man's version of the Ferrari Classiche certification.
very informative video. I suppose it depends on what you buy these things for. Estate cars are essentially load luggers and as long as you don't want to get anywhere in a hurry a 1.6L diesel will do the job. | have had 5 VW group cars over the years, A Mk2 GTI which I loved, A Passat estate which was great for a young family, but boring, A Combi which was slow, noisy, thirsty and tiring to drive. An Audi 100 which was very comfortable and easy to live with. My father had an A4 estate which was mind numbingly dull. So Since then I have had BMWs, much nicer to drive, better built, etc. People obviously like these things and judging by the service intervalsthey are probably pretty cheap to run, so somebody will get a car that will drag them and their load around the country sedately but in comfort for many years to come.
Just to let you know if it comes with any use to you, I expect small dents in old cars, but not that dent next to the fuel access, also if the car is missing that many stuff inside like door lining, the vent, the boot cover... I would steer away, the car has been abused already! There are probably many scratches in the interior.. and it matters too!
That seems like a lot of money for a fairly beaten-up old car.
Looked after, these Superbs last forever. A garage I use in Basingstoke, have a 62 reg diesel Superb hatchback, with 360,000 miles on the clock which they use a courtesy car!
I seriously wouldn't throw any money at significant paintwork. That dent around the filler cap might come out with a dent Dr but at the age and mileage will you ever recoup your costs. They are bullet proof to an extent but probably needs a cam belt/water pump unless you have records to prove it has been done (120k change interval). Good Luck and Happy Christmas - thanks for a cracking year of content Matt
Aye, last January could not decide between a Superb and a Yeti 4x4. Yeti won by virtue of the 4 x 4 and is a fabulous LITTLE car, therein is my problem. Wished I had gone for the LARGE Superb now. Skoda is a much underrated name in my opinion.
The problem with Skoda is that they are still fighting the "old" Skoda name and image. If the brand was to come on the market now, with the current range, no one would bat an eyelid and simply consider it the lower range of the VAG stable. Sadly, too many people remember the "beast" that was the Rapide... Although a bloke in the town I lived wrote off his 944 and transplanted the engine into a Rapide and got a body kit (christ knows where from) and it actually looked decent and obviously shifted ;)
Oh yeah - and if you look at the current Skoda 4x4s, the bigger ones are not bad in the slightest !
BIG difference in size, could understand an Octavia over a Superb but a Yeti? 🤷
I just can’t believe the amount of crap people leave behind when they trade their car in! You might want to wear latex gloves when foraging through them, and maybe also wear some “bus pants” and a “Goodwill” or clearance bin jacket! Just my 2 cents! Great work as always otherwise! 👍👍
I have to comment on your location of your cars like it’s a mystery of who parks them there for you to find then you go over the car and without fail there’s always rubbish left in them!
My wife’s superb.
2012 Superb Estate the one with 4WD and all options, the engine is just run in at 230,000KM, will keep it till it hits 500K or needs a serious repair.
It still drives great, very quiet and comfortable.
Colour is called Cappuccino Beige, I've got a 2010 Elegance saloon with the twindoor tailgate. OEM badges are horrendously expensive at £60 a pop but you can get the newer style badges for £25 each from Lithuania via eBay.
Rear badges from the Mk1 Citigo fits the Superb MK2 front and rear.
@@paulie-Gualtieri. I just couldn't remember what model it was, that's what I bought! 👍
I adore my superb 2014. Very understated and fits absolutely everything!! 2 kids (2 under two), dog, prams and shopping.
One of the best cars i have ever owned was a 2017 mk3 superb 2.0 190 tdi dsg sel executive estate, I only sold it 3 months ago as my local skoda dealer offered me 1500 quid more than I paid for it the year before. I've still got a 2018 skoda citigo sel 75 ps model for town use .but I've replaced the superb with a brand new transporter t6.1 high line dsg Lwb swamper camper .
I have a 14 reg skoda superb 1.4tsi petrol engine with 2 owners from new, blue colour. 144,000 on the clock. Great on fuel around 50mpg on motorway Drives, beautiful. I would like 4 thousand for mine or part ex for a VW caddy maxi life.
This is one of the lower spec Superbs. Only option I see there is probably the leather/alcantara seats. No xenons, no memory electric seat, no auto dim mirrors, etc. They should at least go with the xenons which also have AFS. Mine also has webasto auxilary heater which is incredible in the winter.
Pretty nice car, can't go wrong with one of these! Do you intentionally always look for the muddiest field to shoot your videos, or is that just the reality of living in the UK? 😄
Just came across your channel a few days ago, I've binged watch a good few of your videos really good content, you've gained another subscriber!
Looked like you were dogging the bonnet
There might be a 100 new cars out there.. But the built quality, ride and comfort of these skodas is what u all need at the end of the day.
£2200 seems a little heavy considering condition but we are in crazy times Matt, hopefully you can get it up to scratch for not too much, I like these though, even gold ones lol
ive got an old Skoda octavia .. its like an old Passat totally sturdy ... needs paint job too ... love it though
Wouldn't be more safe to check the oil first before starting the engine?
That's a Superb deal you got there. ✋😄
Another great vid Matt. That's a big boot! This has nothing to with the Skoda or what you get up to in her but as an honest & respected trader, what do you think about tyre insurance? All the best....
I subscribe because of the no nonsense reviews
... and the love for Skodas and hatred for Nissan Jukes
That will make a useful tidy car for someone.. cheap to keep..
I knew it would only be a matter of time after you reviewed it the other week you seemed to genuinely like it
It’s hard with these older cars what to know is a good buy. It made a blip sound on unlocking and the dials sweep on ignition so immediately it’s got me thinking it’s had mods done on vcds or a smart phone app based obd mod. Budget tyres are a bit of a put off as where else did owners budget out in upkeep? does make you wonder if they had Johnny at mapz4U put some cruddy tune on it too. I’m sure you’ll have it in good shape and it’ll be a good buy for someone after some tlc.
Dial sweep standard on start, alarm blip is changeable via settings of on board computer.
Can you tell us in of you videos why you often go checkout cars in that muddy bog in the woods. It just seems odd and a bit shady 😎 Plus you've always got on nice shoes!
It might be because it has no insurance so it doesn't get clamped on the road, and it got left near his mechanic,
@@kelvinmilne368 Yeah it looks like the kind of place where people leave / store cars with no road tax. But this is usually the reserve of a "driveway" car dealer with no premesis.
I bought a cheap Skoda Superb Estate SE TSI in 2015 with 88, 000 miles on the clock. Lovely looking car with auto gearbox and tinted windows. Pristine interior, folding wing mirrors, metallic grey paintwork. I really should NOT have purchased it.
My huge mistake was buying the 1.8 petrol variant. I had a professional pre-purchase check carried out plus got my local garage to look over the car. Despite all the care I took to avoid a slip-up, I soon found out that the car used 5-lites of oil per month, doing less than average mileage. After much thought, I decided to refurbish the engine (£2,000). Oil consumption is now in the region of 0.5-litres per month. A headlamp bulb expires once a year, I have repaired two suspension coil springs plus one cambelt and a water pump. I have since been told that the 1.8 VW engine has a deserved reputation for using lots of oil, unlike the 2.0 version.Current mileage is 155,000.
Hi Matt, judging by the surgical looking scissors and general grubbiness I'm going to guess it was owned by a farm or equine vet. Looks like it's seen a fair few farm tracks. At least you didn't find any parts of an emasculated bull or ram lurking in there too 🐏
Exactly that, my daughter is a 5th year vet student and her car looks exactly like that and at lambing time it smells of birthing fluid!
I own a 2012 model but the saloon car 2lt diesel, ultra reliable smooth drive very economical large car
As a working musician (doris permitting) who camps in his car often this is perfection.
Me thinks knowing "nothing" i hasten to add !!!!!!!!!!!! You paid a tadd too much for that car so much for folk you know ????????? Fingers crossed you might make a fortune L.O.L........
Happy Christmas and keep them comming you are good at what you do on here so good luck for 2022 !!!!!!!!!! P.S. second hand cars are fetching more day by day ?? Me now thinks
you will be ok with this one !!!!!!!!!! Good job I am here to advise ??
A car that is a taxi driver's dream. Reliable and cheap to fix when things go wrong.
Not according to a taxi driver I spoke to today. Had a Prius go to 400k zero problems before in a crash. New Prius on 200k. Said many of his friends who are Taxi drivers have Skoda now but they have quite a few issues doing high mileages.
My dads taxied loads of these over the years, never any problems. Great cars.
Lots of superbs as taxi's in Lincolnshire,few estates mind,the saloon has an enormous boot and leg room,so no real need for the extra weight and poorer visibility.
Nah, skoda is vw, and vw diesels go wrong all the bloody time. Honestly I've spent about 8k over 8 years of ownership of my scirocco diesel in repair costs. Turbo, water pump, clutch, dual mass fly wheel. I really could go on and on.
@@karlbristow1223 VW diesels are not as bad as everyone says, many do extremely high mileages. Your experience is or course anecdotal. Mine has been trouble free. But of course Toyota is incredibly reliable and is maybe only matched by Honda's.
Such a nice car. The design has aged very well.
Cam belt intervals on the 1.6tdi is 5 years or 112k miles. It should have had one in that time but you never know! I would say do the water pump at the same time as they are prone to failing and then it’s engine damage time!
Lovely motor though, 10 years old and still pretty good doing! 😊
That looks a nice car but If I was buying it I would worry about the dent by the petrol filler cap. Will that cost a lot to fix?
Thats not cheap i bought my audi a6 on a 55 plate full service history 2 owners from new got it for £600 i mean yeh sure its done 252000 miles but honestly drives superbly you would never know its done those miles
Mine died a couple of months ago 😢
Was solid as a rock until that. It did a very hard 146,000 miles before the oil pump knackered, taking out the turbo and other components.. some how managed to get a decent price for it from webuyanycar though lol
I have an Australian released model Series: 3T, 2.0 TDI - since new (now about with those miles and the cam belt done as required) with the added extra options not in this one. The only reason I would sell it would be to upgrade to an EV in a few years. Diesel - excellent economy on the highway with a full load. Easy to fit 4 adults comfortably and luggage (under the luggage screen) for a month on the road.
In Croatia Superbs really hold their value, police use them as interceptors and presidential security, so if you see one you slow down
I have exact same one with useless greenline stickers on. Paid 5.3k euro two years ago, had to invest around 1k for maintenance. So total cost 6.3, but I still can sell it for profit nowadays:)
That look Matt gives as he talks about wandering around the woods just before dark. I think there's more to tell there.
I like these videos. I hope there's enough to make a profit on it. Follow up video?
Clean it up Matt get a 12 month MOT and flip it for a few hundred profit , I wouldn’t spend on the cosmetic side / trim as once you work out the hours you put into it as well you are not really going to retire on the profit ! Even do it as a trade sale and let someone else do the work .
Easy for me to say but sounds like the description you were given was slightly economical. I'm guessing but if you had seen it first, might have wanted a bit of a chip off the twenty two.
Cool car. Indeed, be penny wise on this one!
I’ll have to be
You just have to be carefull back in 2011 2012 they were blowing engines there was a problem with the blocks
Hi Matt congratulations on reaching 149,000 subscribers and you will soon at be 150,000 subscribers
Vet part ex!
That's perfect for the Canine Crews ,
Put some ads in the dog parlours and vets Matt - I reckon you get about 6k then.
You know how much cash they throw at them, be quick and you might make the present list for one lucky 🐩 poodle(or 3)
Great vid 👍
those early 1.6 tdi suffer from sudden injector death, had couple of them needed a new injector
I've been looking for a nice motorway estate and have been tempted by a Saab 9-5. I do like a bit of oomph..but you are slowly turning me onto the Superb. They seem like very decent reliable long distance cruisers..
get the Superb man. Better all round and wont break your heart (coming from a broken hearted former Saab driver). Lots of issues with latter day Saabs unfortunately.
@@Cloud007. cheers!
As someone who's owned both i'd have to say go the Superb route. The 2.2 diesel Saab is a dog of an engine but I would seek out the more common 2.0tdi Superb in the 170bhp guise, it's a better drive than the 140bhp model.
If you go for the Saab 9-5 it needs to be the 2.3T aero tbh, they do drink fuel a bit but are a nice motor for cruising. Avoid at all costs the 3.0l diesel and 2.2l diesel, if you must have a diesel the 1.9l unit is ok as long as the cambelt and water pump have been done.
Thx all. But I’m certainly not going diesel.
I had the 2011 5 door V6 Elegance (top trim level in Australia 🇦🇺). Traveled 136,000klms and in perfect condition. I’m sorry I ever sold the bloody thing.
Matt it might be an idea to put a bit in at the end how the sale went or didnt
