Should I keep or ditch my Skoda Superb Estate?

I currently drive a Skoda Superb Estate.The lease runs out in April and I am looking to replace it. I need the large estate for my business and fancied the Jaguar XF Sportbrake but note that there is some criticism about the 2.2 engine and suspect the 3.0 might blow my budget. Should I stick with the Skoda or could you recommend an alternative?

New Superb on the way, so don't go for the old model unless it comes very cheap. The 2.2 Jag engine is a Ford engine used in lots of things, including Evoques and Freelanders. Belt cam, but not your problem if leasing. The Superb is also belt cam. Maybe better to check out a new Mondeo. Or, better still, a Mazda 6.

Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom. Clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon. GreenLine model is very economical. A lot of car for the money.
Good looking estate version of the XF. Gets self-levelling rear suspension as standard. As good to drive as the saloon. Usefully wide and square boot area.
