  ^ Having trawled the internets for Superb's and Passat's is that generally good advice for any car?

  There's heaps of white superbs, diesel 170bhp, DSG, 4x4 around which gives me the feeling that they were the default fleet option 3 years ago and they're now more or less flooding the market

  Just done 750k's in the merc and it ran better than ever. Yesterday I sat in a Skoda Superb. Nice, but utterly boring.

  So now I'm pondering doing a Damnit and spend £9k on the merc instead of getting a newish skoda....

  I've read that it's the 7spd dry clutch that goes, but it has now been replaced by a 7spd wet clutch that actually survives

  6spd I think holds up better?

  That's pretty far off my radar :(

  My life plan is a moderately priced sensible car for a while, then maybe a really nice w124 for the summers

  I'm worried I'll end up there too. With a perfectly fine car but it's just meh to me.

  Almost every modern car I sit in I just feel let down by the maker. In the Mercedes I see a car put together with love by people who knew what they were doing. In modern car I see the end result of a trend report and a fuckload of excel-sheets.

  I'm tempted on one too, they seem great when they work. But then I read on vw-forums about people going through 3 gearboxes in less than 100000km's...

  Currently trawling the internets for ads so will try and look at a few this weekend.

  I'd love an auto but what about DSG? Avoid like the plague or are they all sorted now? Looking at cars from '10-14
