I'm in my 50's and I can't keep my two eldest sons out of my Superb. They love to drive it. Well, if you have seen their cars you would realize why.

I do around 40,000km a year and the Superb is a hell of a lot more economical than the Outback I previously drove, albeit with less power (3.0 Premium R). But it's roomier and a more pleasant drive.

I test drove the new Outback in the US before it was available here and whilst it had more room inside it was/is butt ugly.

I seriously considered a Passat or Audi A4, but with similar options, I would have to fork out an extra $10,000 to $15,000. I tried the usual Japanese suspects, Mazda 6 (yuk), Accord Euro, Outback, but nothing came close in terms of style and luxury and room. I even looked at a new Calais fully optioned up but that looked cheap when it was new, imagine how it would look in 3 years time. I also looked at a Lexus IS250 but I could hardly fit into the front seat!

Anyway, 2 and half years to go on my lease. I wonder if I'll lease new one or buy this one out? The wife says yes to keeping it.
