Skoda Superb Estate (2010 - 2015) 2.0 TDI CR (140bhp) Elegance (07/13-) 5d (2014/14) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

More interested in the car than the badge.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

So far everyone think it is a lovely well made car with very attractive lines (Estate).

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. I did look for a VRS Octavia but it was on 6 months delivery - hence I went for the Superb.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure - need to see what is about in 3 years time by which time I will be 73 yrs old - so here's hoping I wont be in the market for a little Fiat 500 !!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£24,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

A good deal because the Superb is not a mainstream car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Carrying capacity, build quality, comfort, safety, power output / economy relation, a lovely feel to the manual gearbox & excellent ratios, very smooth & quiet diesel engine with good linear power delivery - far better than my Honda Accord Idec 2012 saloon.

What was the dealer like?

Good - no pressure.

What's it like to drive?

Feels very fluid to drive, light steering with good feel. Suspension excellent. Little tyre noise despite 225x40x18 wheels (Continental Sport Contact 3 tyres fitted - pleased with this choice by Skoda). Gearbox excellent with well chosen ratios.

What's it like to park?

Excellent large wing mirrors with good field of view - do not impair vision. Car easy to place on road & park. Rear parking sensors useful bearing in mind the length - 4.833 metres. Doesn't feel big to drive.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing so far but it's only done 700 miles!

What's most practical about your car?

See above.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather heated memory seats & TPM.
