Faults:

Rear load cover snapped, A/C dead, had some issues with the alarm going off at random so I just removed the fuse, passenger window is also bit slow to move. Exterior looking rough. Paint fade, but no major rust.

Inside the leather is holding up well. Most things still work.

Mechanically the car is solid, no major problems. If serviced on time and the cam-belt is changed, these cars are super reliable.

General Comments:

Beautiful Superb Estate car, dark red exterior with beige leather interior. Original Skoda wheels, looks great.

Elegance model is near top of range. This car is amazingly modern feeling inside for its age. It's hard to believe it is well over a decade old now.

To drive the 2.0 TDi with the auto box blends performance and economy well. You'll get over 40 mpg, for a heavy estate car with an automatic this is impressive, albeit the same diesels in the smaller Octavia range with manual do in excess of 50 mpg. You'll rarely get that out of this, but the slightly less economy is worth it for the performance. This car moves very quick when needed, I think it has near 170bhp, which is not far off what an Octavia vRS has! The Superb can hold its own.

Fantastic to drive, handles well too for its size and weight.

Soo many features inside for its time, really does still feel like a luxury car. Soo spacious.

It won't last forever at the age and mileage it is at, but I see no reason to get rid of it yet, it has passed another MOT with little to no issues! A fantastic buy on the second hand market. Being an older diesel, and due to stupid UK laws, I have to avoid inner city low emissions zones, but that is OK if you live out in the country as I do.

Faults:

Turbo failed (Expensive).

The rest was just wear and tear parts replaced as expected for the age and mileage.

General Comments:

Large, comfortable, and can be economical. The Superb is a great all round car.

Very sharp looking, I like this generation's looks.

Inside the SE model has more than enough options. Lots of space.

Not bad to drive. Petrol 1.8 "TSi" engine has just enough power for the car's size. Realistically you can expect 35 mpg on average, but for closer to 40 mpg you need to do a lot of motorway cruising. You could get the more common diesel engines, but the petrol options strength is in refinement and a smooth operating drive.

Just about any model is highly recommended. Make sure you buy a looked after car with full history.

Faults:

Clutch failed, EGR valve needed replaced, broken bonnet release, ABS sensor, plus all the typical wear and tear items replaced.

Water pump leaked, but replaced when I changed the cambelt.

Dash warning indicates power steering issues, but sometimes goes away on its own, no problem apparent.

Bought used, but the car has been looked after, serviced on time.

General Comments:

A large saloon form Skoda, the Superb is among one of the best cars for the money if you just need a large spacious vehicle.

Not that fun to drive, but the 2.0 TDi is probably the best all round engine - plenty of power and does around 45 mpg or a little more on diesel.

Elegance model has leather seats and all the electrics expected of the time. Space inside this car is as good as it gets. Very smooth on the motorway. Quiet as well for diesel, you rarely hear the engine.

Nice, but nowhere near as reliable as my old 2006 Honda Accord. As much as I like this car it is a little overrated - I have had it a few years now and it's not quite as reliable and "solid" as its reputation suggests, and it is expensive to repair. Not a bad car by any means, but I don't know if I'd buy another.
