Skoda Superb 1.9 TDi 130bhp (upped slightly to 170) 2003

I see the people who rated this car low don’t even own one ... yet in contrast those who drive them everyday rate them very highly. My Superb is well ..... err Superb. Gives me good mpg in comfort and isn’t exactly a slouch. OK so I admit it doesn’t set any land speed records BUT 0-60 is around 7.2 seconds. Mid-range pulling power is in excess of most cars well above this price range. In 3rd gear 30mph-70mph takes around 3.5 seconds. That’s impressive and moreover it’s acceleration right at the speed most people want it. The ride is set-up for comfort when original. I personally opted to lower and stiffen the suspension slightly and it handles well for a large saloon. It’s no rally car but then again it never claims to be. Comfort is well catered for too. Enough room in the boot for 3 corpses and a cabin so spacious it almost has an echo. Good levels of equipment and attention to detail is nice. Luggage hooks in the boot (curry hooks to you and me), umbrellas in the door, courtesy puddle lights in wing mirrors, the red night vision light in the cabin etc etc etc.. Solid construction too. Economy is a boring subject but to be fair one that affects us all. Motorways give me around 55mpg in real world driving, whilst town journeys anywhere from 37-47mpg dependant on how heavy you are with the right foot that day. Fact is, the Superb is a great all-rounder. Fantastic balance of power, comfort and economy. I have to admit it fails to achieve top marks in any of those categories but it scores well in ALL of them. Not many cars do that, regardless of price range. As for looks, personally I quite like them. Lowered, a set of alloys and it looks incredibly like an Audi ... and that’s no bad thing. I have to admit, the bad reviews do seem to have an odour of badge-snobbery about them ... dare say even badge-envy?

Skoda Superb Elegance TDI 140 2006

Had one for nearly two years, love it to bits! Does 47 - 50 mpg on a decent run. Can cruise at whatever speed suits you - or are brave enough to attempt. Don’t worry about the ’misinformed’ Skoda Haters they are actually doing ’us Skoda owners’ a big favour. They actually assist in keeping the price down! If the Skoda brand had the same cachet as VW, or worse, Audi, we can all guess that the Skoda prices would rocket upwards - so thank you Skoda Haters long may you prevail. I’m just on the point of trading my Elegance TDI140 in for the new equivalent only this time I’m going for the TDI 170 engine for a bit more grunt - does the same mpg but CO2 emissions are lower so my RFL goes down about £25. Made the mistake of taking a test drive in this version - fabulous is a term that comes to mind, feature count for £22.8k is unbelievable, it would likely cost another £5k plus for same spec. in an Audi. I should be in one by end of October 08 if all goes to plan. Don’t hesitate; these are fantastic cars at a real value-for-money price but you can buy this car on merit alone. If you will excuse the pun - it is Superb!

Skoda Superb 2.5d 2002

Simply superb. Best car I’ve ever had or driven. (includes Mercs, Audi, BMW, Saab, VW, etc). Quiet, economical, powerful, huge rear legroom (more than my friends S class Merc). Ultra reliable - far more reliable than my friend’s S Class. Great dealers too - Skoda always does well on the the old JD Power doesn’t it? Admittedly not the prettiest car ever, but the space, power, reliability, great equipment level, etc. more than compensate. (Umbrella in air-conditioned pocket, climate control, ESP, cruise control, CD stack, hooks in the boot to hold shopping bags, extra power points, etc.) Best thing is without doubt the engine - sold my car to a friend who delights is pushing those bloody BMW’s out of the way. He’s taken it up to 125k with no problems, and it still pulls like a train. Got to get another one. Think Skoda’s are a joke? Get a Superb - you’ll be the one who’s laughing.

Skoda Superb 2008

Sad tot see Skoda haters out there refusing to see and acknowledge that the Superb is a great car. But again I am talking about the old series. I’ve driven first hand the new Superb (2008) in the Czech Republic and believe me people... ITS THE LAST NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF ANTI-SKODA DRIVERS. The new Skoda Superb (new generation) is a car where you simply try hard enough to criticise and see a fault but you find none... expect a revolution in the luxury middle range car section...... the new Superb: - New great look - sooooooo quiet - strong and great automatic smart gear - so STEADY and hearing whispers when driving 210km/h -so much space try and get your hands on one for a test drive.... amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Skoda Superb 1.9 TDI Classic 2006

I really wanted the Volkswagen Passat but found that it was slightly out of my price range. That’s when a friend informed me that nowadays Skoda’s are Volkswagen in everything but the badge and that the Superb is essentially identical to the Passat. I phoned the local Skoda dealer and arranged for a test drive in the 1.9 TDI Classic and was immediately amazed to see how closely the Superb resembled the Passat. Knowing that VW were behind the engine gave me a great deal of comfort, reliability is more important than looks in my opinion. The interior and boot are cavernous and I feel more like a chauffeur than a father when taking my wife and the children out - they love the space and comfort. This is not a city car, it performs at its best when on the motorway where it is also very economical. I don’t like to use the world budget because this normally means sacrificing quality - many years ago Tesco’s own coffee was exactly than same as Maxwell House inside the jar but with different branding and at half the price - although the Superb is not half the price of the Passat, the principal is the same.

Skoda Superb 2008

In the village of where I live there is a Skoda garage. I was looking for a luxury saloon that was affordable. So at the dealership I saw the Superb tagged at £16,995. I thought there must be some luxury for that price, so I took a test drive. The interior is plasticy and tatty, the automatic gearbox guesses when to change gear, and it is slow! O-6O in about 12 secs and 6O is about its top speed. And guess what, for the same money you can get a year old BMW 3 Series. Superb-No. BMW-Yes.

Skoda Superb 1.8T Comfort 2007

I can’t believe this is a Skoda! It looks and feels like a top of the range luxury saloon and gives a very smooth drive, with a healthy dollop of power when needed. Do NOT be put off by the badge and miss out on a very classy car for not a lot of money!

Skoda Superb 2008

Recently I went past a Skoda dealership and I saw this car on the forecourt. I thought "God thats a bad looking Vehicle." So obviously i had to road test it to see if it was any good and i have to say, this Skoda is definitely not Superb. Worst of all is its performance. There is none!!! This car is just a waste of parts, they belong at the scrapyard. Take away the "s" and the "yard" and you got the overall rating of this car. GOing back to the performance i was out dragged from the lights by a gee whizz and the vehicles which the oaps use. ALSO i had trouble getting up a 3% gradient i was unimpressed. and i was over taken on the motorway by a cyclist who was wearing lycra in his 60’s.

Skoda Superb 1.8T Comfort 2007

10 years ago I would have never have dreamt of buing and owning a Skoda. It shows just how far Skoda has come that I not only included Skoda in my list of possible new cars but went further and actually bought one! I wanted a family saloon car that would give us plenty of space but didn’t want an MPV. I also did not want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a car so a Mercedes was out of the question. The Superb gives me both the space that I want plus the power and performance necessary. All this at a VERY reasonable price, this Skoda really is SUPERB!
