If I could only stretch to a 4-cylinder A6 or 5, I’d get the 2.0TSI Superb
No you wouldn't, because you drive a 4 cylinder A6 yourself. Irrespective of the engine they are still better cars.

The difference in depreciation will be much more so no point.
I would if I were in the OP’s position because the Skoda will be the best-specced car there.No you wouldn't, because you drive a 4 cylinder A6 yourself. Irrespective of the engine they are still better cars.
If they're the same budget, then surely the Superb will be newer for the age and significantly more powerful? (280bhp v whatever the 520i is)I am assuming its new or nearly new as he references the bizarre new Audi model numbering which hasn't been around that long.
Realistically what does a Superb have that a 520i M Sport does not that makes it worth the trade-down? I can't see it being worth it personally - the 5 Series is simply a better car and whilst I've not experienced the new A6 yet (Probably end up with one as a rental in a few weeks), I can't imagine its not better than the Superb.
Noticably smaller inside and it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dull.Passat R-Line Estate with the 190bhp diesle engine or the petrol equivalent - better car and badge than the skoda. Will do all you need it to whilst still being let out at junctions by other motorists.
I lolled. To quote Boris I think I’d rather die in a ditch. Talk about a white good of a car. The same applies to the Skoda to be fair.Passat R-Line Estate with the 190bhp diesle engine or the petrol equivalent - better car and badge than the skoda.

This is simply not true - infact the value of a 2 year old 520i M Sport is several thousand pounds less than a 2 year old 520d M Sport.

Despite the diesel hate, the majority of people buying a car like this don't want a slow and thirsty petrol model like the 520i. There is an excess of supply now too as dealers registered a load of them thinking everyone would stop buying diesels..
I really like the Superb too, been pondering one for ages and spent many an hour on their configurator playing with options. However, I can afford the Audi and I got a great deal so decided to go for it.
