A stunningly large car form Skoda, the Superb does everything I need and more. My car is silver, very common color.

SE model is mid range, but the car still has plenty of electronic equipment, feels like a luxury car. Interior space is huge. Rear passengers have the most legroom I have ever seen in a car.

Driving position is good and the car is good to drive. 1.8 TSi petrol is pretty rare seeing as most of these cars are diesel. It has good performance and still does 35 - 40 mpg which I can live with.

I have had it six years and just cannot find anything negative to say about it, and I cannot remember a car that has ever left that impression on me! Highly recommended, they are cheap to buy used.

Faults:

Usual wear + tear, also replaced cambelt.

Cosmetically the outside is unmarked, interior is not holding up as well as hoped, rear armrest broke.

No major problems, DPF light came on but a long drive cleared it out.

Basically a bigger Skoda Octavia. The Superb is aimed at the executive market, but falls short of taking on well established names like BMW and Mercedes. Shame really, Skoda really tried with this car and it shows; the interior is very nice with all the electrics you would expect on a car of this type. Much more refined than my previous Octavia. Rear legroom is incredible, limousine like! SE model is mid range with half leather, and is very comfortable.

Rear hatch/boot is a bit of a gimmick.

2.0 TDi is best all rounder, decent performance while doing well over 50 MPG on average. Running costs are more or less identical to the smaller Octavia, and you can get these cars used at a great price, highly recommended.

Nothing yet, it's my mother's car, she's only just bought it.

General Comments:

It's comfortable, efficient (45 MPG) and looks OK; the estate looks better though. Haven't had any snow to test the 4x4 system yet, but that may change!

I purchased this vehicle because of regular travel across an alpine pass for work. It is hard to imagine another vehicle in this price range that would perform this task with the same level of comfort, safety, economy and overall performance.

In standard specification, the 103 kw diesel is a solid performer. I had the ECU remapped, and this made a huge difference to the driveability, with no adverse impact on economy. It is outstanding on steep hills, and overtaking is effortless.

The 4wd system is probably overkill in 99% of driving conditions, but gives some extra reassurance when going up steep roads in wet or icy conditions. For most drivers, I suspect it would be unnecessary.

My vehicle has 3 car seats fitted across the back, and the massive rear legroom is great for getting kids in and out of the car.

It is very hard to find any faults with this vehicle. My only complaint would be that the original tires (Continental Contisport 2's) only lasted just over 20,000 km. They have been replaced with Bridgestones, and hopefully I will get a bit more life out of these.

Faults:

Not a thing.

I upgraded from an Octavia vRS wagon, and this is a great car. Have taken it on a driving holiday, and it went like a charm.

A beautiful car to drive, with excellent economy.

I am averaging 5.5 l/100km with half city/country driving. This is amazing, as it gets better economy than the smaller and lighter vRS, with nearly the same engine performance.

The interior is very roomy and fantastic. Every passenger comments on the comfort and the space.

It has so many features, clearly well above the competition for the price. A few people have said they regard it as a serious BMW competitor.

Faults:

Nothing, and I don't think anything will.

General Comments:

A lovely vehicle; very luxurious and comfortable. A smooth quality ride with SUPERB handling; they certainly gave it the correct name.
