Faults:

Front shocks and springs, wheel bearing, and a couple of sensor faults.

I try to look after it well, recently done the cambelt and water pump, expensive but worth it.

Had it a good few years now with no major issues. Cosmetically looking a bit rough inside and out, but it is over ten years old now.

General Comments:

A great used buy, the Superb is a large luxury saloon. Probably one of the nicest cars I have ever had.

DSG auto box is a joy to use, but you will pay for that with less economy. I barely get around 48 mpg. A lot of reviews here and elsewhere claim to be getting over 50 mpg regularly, but they must be with manual transmission only. Either way the 2.0 TDi is well matched, with decent power and economy in any configuration.

Elegance model has the lot. Heated leather seats and electric everything. Very comfortable and plenty of space. Black interior with light blue exterior, nice combination.

Worth a look if you want a big comfy car for as little as possible. Be aware, although it is generally economical and cheaper to buy than rival luxury cars, maintenance can be a little pricey, but worth the upkeep for long term ownership and reliability.

Faults:

Not much but I have barely had it a year. Changed the timing belt and gave it a service. Seems OK so far.

General Comments:

The Superb really is as good as people say - you get a very large luxurious car that is comfortable, fast enough with the right engine, and also cheap to run.

My 2.0 TDi SE model is great, love driving it and just being in it. Silver exterior with black interior. Really easy to get comfortable, quiet and smooth on the motorway. Lots of electric features and soo much room.

You'll get about 50 mpg with the 2.0 diesel engine. Tax and insurance for me (as an older guy) has been OK. You do need to be careful with repair costs on this car however - they are as expensive as any car when things go wrong. Make sure you know a good local cheap garage that can take care of things.

Recommended if you want an executive level car, and don't care what others think about the badge.

Faults:

A lot of expensive maintenance and servicing, but never any breakdowns or major problems. Look out a local independent garage to keep costs down.

General Comments:

The Superb is a very spacious car and has lots of equipment at a nice price; was one of the things that made me buy it. Similar rival cars cannot match this car for comfort and space.

Reliability has been great, though it is worth following this car's service schedule to the letter to keep things right, even though that alone can be expensive nowadays.

The car is great to drive. 4WD system is great in winter, though due to this you won't get much more than 46 mpg, compared to the normal 2WD versions that can get over 50 mpg +. Worth it though if you live in a cold hilly area.

Just cannot fault this car really, buy a used one at a nice price, make sure it has low mileage and is looked after, and you have one of the best used buys out there.

Faults:

The car has been looked after, serviced to the letter. At the last MOT I had the brake pads and front discs renewed. Suspension wise rear springs were replaced. Cam-belt has also been done. Basically nothing other than wear and tear.

Fault wise, the DPF light came on briefly, but a firm drive cleared it out. No major faults, cosmetically the car is also looking good, though a small rust spot has appeared at the rear boot corner, but it is 9 years old now and past the 100K mark so I can expect such things. Driver's door handle feels a little stiff.

General Comments:

What a good looking luxurious car for a good price, this is still one of the best used cars you can buy, I love my Skoda Superb. Not as refined as my previous Honda Accord, but very nice to ride in and drive. Interior has loads of space. Outside looks great with the alloy wheels and blue metallic paint.

The 1.6 TDi is lethargic and not really suited to a car of this size, if buying again I would say go for the 2.0 TDi. This does return a solid 60 MPG to make up for the lack of performance however.

All models are well equipped, even base models. My SE Plus has half leather and electric everything. This car's interior really is like much more expensive luxury cars you could get back in the day. I look forward to every journey, even though actually driving the car is not particularly fun, but is just so nice to be in. Climate controls are a little fiddly but you get used to it.

If you drive a Skoda Octavia or something similar, the Superb is a great choice and a good step up.
