Skoda Superb, Peugeot 508 or Toyota Avensis?

I want to ask for comparison about three gasoline-engined cars. Skoda Superb 1.4 122hp, Peugeot 508 1.6 120hp or Toyota Avensis 1.6 132hp. Which car is the best for comfort, reliability, price/performance etc?

The Avensis Valvematic probably has the best engine, but is the smallest car. It comes with a five-year warranty. The 508 120 is too weak, but the 1.6THP 156 is excellent. The Superb 1.4TSI 122 is the biggest car, and will just about move along with that engine.
