The legroom on the Superb does look awesome.
As in "What? That's ridiculous! Shut up!" awesome.

Palma de Mallorca is actually a very classy city with a superb Harbour and very upmarket bars / restaurants
unless of course you meant Palma Nova /Magalluf
Yea I meant that

a million percent the superb.
As said, the difference in the engines is horrific, and awful.... lol
They will do the job fine, but the car itself is a cut above when it comes to the superb.

just spoke to a very nice salesman in the Ull skoda dealership and even with it being a company purchase hes ok with me taking a Superb out for a test drive (as long as i dont take the p***) with the wife and child with me. maybe pop into a renault garage while im across the other side of the river and have a look at the megane see just how small it is if i leave with any doubt over the superb or octavia

bmw 118d company car here, no regrets

Well, other than the fact you cheaped out and got the slow one because you were so tight with your company car tax. The 120d is a better car than your 118d in every possible way.
You might be wondering why I've been so harsh - well, because to be honest why are you even posting? The guy has posted his company car list, thats all he can have. He was very clear with that.
Yet you decided to pop in and tell him how happy you are with your BMW company car? Do you want a cookie or something? I'm sure he'd love a BMW (Though not a crappy 118d), but it isnt on his list so you are absolutely no use to him!

Nice friendly forum as usual!
As friendly as somebody telling a guy who is stuck with a load of Skodas and Renaults on his company car list about how you have no regrets picking your BMW, a car he cannot have?
It frustrated me, especially as everyone else has tried hard to help the guy pick from what is a pretty cruddy list of cars.

It's fox. He usually tells it like it is...
Everyone else was thinking the same as me, but they have more manners and thought better of saying anything 
There are numerous threads in whcih it is entirely appropriate to tell everyone how happy you are with a BMW. The thread of somebody with a rubbish company car list trying to make the best of a bad selection is not it.
Unless you want me to pop into your 'I went camping in Cornwall on holiday' thread with 'Well I am very happy with me trip to America!' as it amounts to the same thing

Cavalier 1.6L in Gold 20 years ago, was happy and had no regrets with my first new company car. We're ace we are.
I bet you had the brown velour, i had the velour in my Cortina of that era
Bah my maths sucks, it was a Sierra by then, never drink and type children.

Noooo, all black and with a mobile phone!!
Because they use it as a base model engine.
They are not - the 1.8T is long gone. The 1.8T you now see is an all new 1.8TFSI engine, which fills the lower end of the range.
You wouldnt assume that the 2011 Mondeo 2.0 has the same engine as a 1998 Mondeo 2.0 so I dont understand why you assume that current 1.8T Audi's are the same as old 1.8T Audi's
