Skoda Superb 2.5 V6 TDI Elegance 4d Auto (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Price up the equivalent spec Passat and go on several holidays with the difference.
Costs
In three years and 50k miles it's needed two cheap (£250) services. Only problem is the depreciation.
-
On the road
Driving
Fantastic on motorways, but a soft riding barge around town. Parking sensors a must.
Performance
Engine is superb, gearbox hunts when pushed (so use the tiptronic).
-
Living with it
Reliability
So far (touch wood) no problems.
Image
You won't look cool, but 99% of people who get in mine say "wow, is this really a Skoda?"
Comfort
Unbeaten in anything like this price range, although that's partially because of the soft suspension setup. Rear was designed as a limo for the Czech PM and it shows. Even 6'6" friends have spare legroom..

Security and Service
Security
Usual list of immobilisers, alarm and so on.
Service
Very helpful, although apparently it can be tricky to get less usual spares as they are a pretty rare car.
