  • Practical estates make a great alternative to high-riding SUVs if you need to carry a family and bundles of luggage. I pit the latest Audi A4 Avant against the smart VW Passat Estate and the spacious Skoda Superb Estate to see which deserves a place on your shortlist.

    The servicing costs on the SKODA are excellent with my local Service Centre.
    One of my friends had to replace one of the short, moulded rubber engine hoses in his Audi A4 and was quoted £115.00 from the Audi garage....
    When he took the same part to the SKODA garage they quoted under £50.00 for the same part,... using the same OEM Part Code.
    I love Audi's,... but for me, badge snobbery doesn't support such a high profit margin.

    The most eye appealing to me is definately the skoda. It's beautiful in its simplicity. People complain that the new volvo's s90 makers focused on front and interior and didnt care about the rear (which in my opinion is beautiful). But Audi fanboys dont mind that everysingle new audi looks exactly the same on the outside? It like they have spent all their money on the interior and just to make it not insanely expensive they put a dull and very common audi body.

      Tak1 I've recently replaced my 2014 Skoda Octavia with a new Audi A4 and can easily say there's not much the Audi is doing better than the Skoda... Skodas are great cars, comfy, spacious and great value for money. But driving an Audi is much different and I'm not talking about badge snobbery... you can feel you're driving a premium vehicle because of the design, the quality of materials, the sound insulation... it's not always all about how much money you can save. If you need a roomy, honest family car then Skoda is the best on the market. But you're looking for something a bit more special, Audi is fantastic. I have the virtual cockpit and it's just amazing. The whole car looks very modern and hi-tech, I have supple Nappa leather, real aluminium everywhere and in general quality is great.

      @@1905tommy HI, Eric. Got it serviced a couple of weeks ago. No problems. I am really pleased with it. Loads of room (the envy of my climbing buddies in that respect) and even better when the back seats are down. I'm thinking of adding a piece of padded ply to level up the back a little for car camping. The diesel engine is nippy enough for me (I'm 67 but have always been a fan of utility vs speed). I have the green version which has an economy display histogram (optional of course to have it on) that encourages you to be a frugal driver and change up to avoid hammering your fuel. I treat it as a challenge and keep an eye on it. The car hasn't given me an ounce of worry, apart from scraping my plastic bumper on the kerbs outside my house - the car is quite low slung and the kerbs unusually high. I am quite used to the fuel-saving cut out when stopped at lights, and restarting automatically as soon as I depress the clutch. I would not hesitate to recommend this car.

    I bought my 2016 Superb on the strength of this review and interestingly many of the features Matt focused on in the Passat are also present on the superb, like the bag hooks in the boot. the parcel shelf works the same way too and in the MMI you can set it to either open or stay closed when the hatch is lifted.
    Other thigs I like - the ability to change headlights from LH to RH mode when driving in Europe. The umbrellas in the door cards. It's compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car play anyway so the 'premium' entertainment system of the A4 is less of a draw. The 2x rear heated seats were a big bonus for the kids and the 18" wheels make it look much more premium.

    Can you compare the A4 to the Superb. I thought the A6 and Superb share the same chassis. And I have to disagree with you on looks. I think the Superb looks far better than the Passat.
    PS I have a Superb. I took it for the luxury (SE L Executive). I can carry the in-laws, their lapdog, two very large dogs, a dog push chair for the lap dog. We have a tonne of room, it's very comfy for long journeys to the sea side.
    Curiously, I've never noticed any road or wind noise with my 2.0 DSG Superb (it's a 2018, which is the same mark)

      Superb cannot ever be better than the Passat, I mean it is a nice car too, but come on, it will never ever be better than the VW, it just will not be, there needs to be some hieararchy between the models inside the VAG.

    • @tedferkin

      @@dusanmihajlovic4732 I think you misunderstand. I was talking about the market. Audi have the A6 and the A4, skoda the Octavia and the Superb, VW have the Passat. So what I am saying is that large exec car market is the A6 and Superb. The large family car is A4, Octavia and Passat. If you compare the interior size of the Superb and Passat, for the cost you'd be a mug to go for the Passat, it's almost the same, the gizmos maybe not the very latest, but it's all the same mechanical parts.
      To me comparing the Octavia and Passat is a fairer comparison especially if you want to make a brand hierarchy.

      Octavia goes with Golf. Superb goes with Passat. Phaeton has been turned down so cannot find a comparisment to it. It should have been an A8. Now you got Arteon which goes with A5 according to many but in newest model you have a Shooting Brake Arteon. Should I compare it with A4 variant?Just not. Should I compare it with A6 variant, maybe, maybe not. With Superb? No mate. What I want to say is that inside the groupation there is no rivalires between the car makers, and everyone knows their position. There could never be that an engine suplier can be worse that the one who gets their engine or to have a car that is a higher class model than what his engine or parts supplier has. What about Touareg and Kodiaq with 2.0? What about Tiguan and Karoq? What about R models? Also on the other side, cannot compare for example VW's R models with Audi's RS models... What the truth is that every car has its own costumers and it is planned to be like that. Superb is a nice car again, and I wish you many many more miles with it, cheers!

  • @TheAllMightyGodofCod
    @TheAllMightyGodofCod 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, VW does very good cars when they remember what they should do: practical cars. When they try to compete directly with Mercedes and BMW they tend to mess things a little. Yes, VW is a good car, well built, a bit expensive and with a certain premium appeal but it should also be discrete, simple and very practical and I think they might have just done that with this generation of Passats and Superbs and let the more premium and upper market to the Audi, exactly as it should be.
    I bought a B4Passat Variant as a second car and I am enjoying it a lot, good to drive, good quality building, lots of space, decent comfort (I came from a French car so I can say «excellent comfort») and great road holding but it is still a simple and practical care. I somewhat feel that the B5 and B6 lost some of that «good, old reliable and simple» appeal of before and that this current generations as got it back.

    The so called premium brand used to have technical advantage over the casual cars but nowadays it is much different and basically it is related to brand perception.
    People are pride of owning an Audi or a Volvo or whatever primum brand but a commons sense tells us that these cars are not technically better over an average car in the segment.
    Well, maybe except some outliers, highest spec cars with most powerful motors.
