This might not seem like a fair fight but if you could afford a lightly used S4 Avant albeit at £7-8K more than the Superb is it a no brainer?

I'm already slightly worried about buyers remorse before I've even gone for the Audi as I'm not naturally a big spender on cars but really fancied treating myself to something other than a watch.

Skoda is well specc'd with Pano Sunroof, Keyless entry, electric seats and power tailgate and new version has great infotainment screen. 280BHp is no slouch at 0 to 60 mph in sub 6 secs but presumably left in the dust by the S4 and its 354BHP Quattro system.

I've been out in Skoda 220 TSI and was impressed with that and assume 280 will be more of the same but more fun? Granted its biased towards comfort and refinement but still 'fun'.

I'm due to test the S4 on Friday and can always make a decision then but still curious if anyone has driven or owns either car?

Cheers.
