Dont take our word for it ….. Business Car magazine has just ended its long-term test of a ŠKODA Superb estate GreenLine II – and given it a glowing report.

Superb should be ‘default option for more fleets’ says Business Car 24 Nov 11

“At £24,000, I don’t know why it isn’t the default option for more fleets and drivers… you won’t find better for less,” said Tristan Young on the Business Car website.

“We set out to see if one of the more capacious estate cars on the market could also be one of the most fuel-efficient, and the Superb estate didn’t disappoint,” added Tristan. “We saw a high of 68mpg for one tank of fuel, which is well above the official combined figure of 64.2mpg, and the average for our 9000-plus miles was 59mpg. The overall figure may be a touch shy of the official (and from a personal point of view I’m annoyed with myself for not cracking 60mpg) but it is still seriously impressive.”

 The report adds that you need to drive “like a saint” to get such remarkable fuel economy, but acknowledges how even on a seriously testing run across Scotland, with the car loaded to the gunnels, the driver couldn’t get fuel consumption below 51mpg.

“Best of all, though, was the fact you can have this ultra-efficiency without any sacrifices. We’ve already said how big the car is, but in Elegance trim the Superb is a luxurious place to spend your miles,” concludes the report.

Business Finance

In business, which will suit you best? Every business is different and dependant upon the individual circumstances we have a range of finance plans some of which are more suitable to business use compared to those used by a private individual customer. So it’s important to choose the right option for acquiring your car or fleet. Otherwise you could find it seriously affecting your bottom line. Contract Hire This could be right for your business if you’d prefer to hire rather than own cars. It’s simply an agreement where a rental is paid in return for the vehicle over one, two, three or four years. This means you don’t have the hassle of selling the car later on, or the worry about how much it’ll be worth. It could be better still if your business is VAT-registered, as a proportion of the rentals may be tax-deductible (putting a smile on the face of anyone in charge of business finance). There may be other tax advantages too, as contact hire is looked upon as an operating lease for current tax purposes, unlike a ‘purchase’ contract. Finance Lease Finance lease is a hire agreement which is specifically designed for businesses and it could be especially good if you’re VAT-registered. You choose a hire agreement of between one and four years. When this ends, subject to meeting the terms of course, you can sell the vehicle on to a third party on Škoda Finance’s behalf and you may get a rebate on the rentals. Being a lease, this is looked upon as different to a ‘purchase contract’ and could be better for you tax-wise. You can claim a proportion of all rentals as a business expense against taxable profits, the size of which depends on the price of the car you lease. Ask your financial or tax advisor to see if it applies to your business. Lease Purchase This is a cost-effective way for your business to own the car. The agreement can last from one to four years and lets you hold back part of the cost of the vehicle until the end. Then you could own it outright.
