It is indeed, an excellent car with masses of space for kit. I'm considering a 4x4 Superb as my next car.

My well-informed, on-topic and useful contribution to this thread......
In October I was patiently waiting at a roundabout when the car behind me slowly rolled into my rear bumper.
The Warwickshire Police firearms training officer en route to a training session in his Škoda leaped out in a most apologetic frame of mind.
At least there would be no quibble about accepting blame!
The damage was so small I decided having it 'fixed' would be more trouble than living with a dent smaller than my little finger nail that I had to get down on my hands and knees to see.
I didn't have the cojones to ask to see what he was carrying locked away inside his car, but I did rag him mercilessly about his driving. He was obliged to report the RTC but had it been a private individual I would have just waved it off. The car has worse damage from supermarket car park numpties.
Yes, I did report it to my insurer and we had a good laugh about it too.

On Derbyshire Live news email last week there was a report of a lorry chase in which the BMW had been rammed and caused £70,000 worth of damage 
It was written off but How much was it to start with ?

Damage to the BMW in full police livery, it was well and truly mangled.

It probably includes recovery costs.
Ie "full cost of claim", rather than just actual damage.
70k??? They could buy a proper car for that much money.

That surprises me, because they're supposed to be based on the landcruiser, and they have lots of space.

Yeah the rear wheel arches dig into your sides. Seats are too far back so they can claim decent leg room
Ah.
I've only got little legs, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Plus I never sit in the back.
