Questions you may find useful

•1d

I am confused between waiting for the Skoda Superb and going ahead with the purchase of the Toyota Camry. I am looking for an executive sedan that prioritises rear-seat comfort for my parents, who are senior citizens. Mercedes-Benz and BMW models are outside my budget. My last premium sedan was a Skoda Laura, before it was renamed the Skoda Octavia and eventually discontinued. This car will primarily be used for long-distance travel between two cities or towns. Should I wait for the Skoda Superb or go ahead with the Toyota Camry?
