The new Superb is not a stretched or second-hand anything - it as a brand new VAG development pioneered by Skoda. It also has the innovative "twin-door" feature (copied shamelessly by BMW) giving you the "two cars for the price of one" feature.The Skoda Superb seemed to be a stretched Passat, a good saloon, but pricier...

OP's post and request for advice relate to the new model "Greenline" Superb, I was struggling to see the relevance of your comments about the superceded model-line and sought to avoid the confusion of an old vs. new discussion.... I also looked at the Superb - "Greenline" which apparently has an older "Direct Injection Engine" 1.9 which I thought had less torque and was a bit noisier but at the end f the day -wasn't bad ....
My partner put me off the Superb. I was very keen on the new model when it first came out. She said it was too big and had the look of a car for an older gent i.e. > 55. I bought a six month old Octavia 1.9 TDi elegance last year with the old engine. I must say I love the car and it is plenty big enough, and yes the old engine has great torque. Why not consider an 08' 1.9 TDi. I know the engine is a little unrefined, but I can put up with that for the torque, and for the excellent fuel efficiency. My best performance has been 4.3l/100km but I average 4.9l/100km usually. Still excellent. It is very comfortable on long journeys, which I do a lot, can fit five no problem and has a cavernous boot. I feel the elegance model is a must though for the Air Con.
