Buying a 1.8 TSI Skoda Superb - have you heard of any problems with them?
I will be test driving a 1.8TSI (Skoda Superb) tomorrow and would be interested to know if the TSI engines in VAG vehicles are as troublesome as the TDI engines.
I can't help wondering about the fact that the engine has a turbo and a supercharger, to me that sounds like trouble waiting to happen, what have you heard ?

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.
