I’m with you on that! Normally I hate turbos too, more stuff to go wrong.
The other one I really want is the V8 C63, but I don’t think I can stomach £600 road tax 🤣
Seems like a nice engine from a layman’s point if view, NA, plus the version with SLS internals sounds more reliable.

The Superb is an odd car - friend has an estate and loves it (but then his previous car was a 58 plate Mondeo estate diesel, so the bar is VERY low!)

Thanks Adrian. I guess I should drive one to see how they feel.
Or maybe I should just keep saving for a EV eventually.
