Haven't got one but it would be my choice if an SUV wasn't possible - my son has an Octavia Estate, 2.0 TDI which has now done 150,000 miles with no signs of trouble - and he's very hard on cars, killed his Vectra estate in about 100,000 miles.

A con is that the Superb is a bit long for parking - but that length becomes a big pro for space.

A friend of mine had a 2014, 4wd version, lovely car, towed a Coachman 560 ( 1546 kg.) with it. Lots of room, his big brag about it was it had an umbrella in the rear right door, like a Rolls Royce.

I had the 2014 AWD 2.0 DSG diesel. Great luggage room allied with good room for front and rear passengers, economical too, towed well as well. Plus it had a rechargeable torch so you can find your umbrella. Can’t go far wrong, I rate it above my Gen 3 Volvo XC70 AWD.

+ there is a ice scraper in the fuel filler flap.

We had the saloon version 2 years ago as our first tow car. It was very nice apart from breaking down 3 times 🤣. This rather knocked our confidence in it, so we got rid.

One other good thing with our estate was that the bases of the rear seats can be lifted and hinged forward leaving a useful load or dogs carrying area without risk of damaging seat bases.
