    Passat Highline 170bhp v Mondeo Titanium 140bhp v A4 SE 136bhp

    Lease car so no concerns re tax/servicing/mpg etc

    I do serious mileage, heading towards 90,000km for this year so I need something comfortable.

    I'm drawn towards the Passat with the bhp and I've sat in one and it's a lovely place to be.

    Opinions welcome.

    Skoda SUPERB
    is a nice place to be by all accounts. Considering the serious miles you are doing.

    *EDIT* Had the use of a 2011 (105bhp Bluemotion) Passat for a while, Couldn't fault it at all.

    From those 3, I'd probably take the Passat Highline 170.

    Don't forget to add Bluetooth and Cruise Control, which aren't standard.

    Brother has an A4 & I've found they are not that comfy on the long journeys....Boss in work has a 09 mondeo & loves it, no bother & he drives big miles...Heard mixed views on the passat's but no exprience of one.

    Heard many problems regarding offset pedals in the manual version of the A4 which could make doing 90k a year very long, tiring and uncomfortable.

    That's the fastest appearance of a
    Skoda
    I've ever seen in one of these threads, I laughed.

    Unfortunately it's not on the list it would have been my choice too.

    Both could be added for €600 or so I think? Surprised they're not standard, it's fairly well kitted out apart from that.

    B/T is €286, Cruise is €416. Depends on your company policy whether you can add extra's.
