I have the 2013 Superb wagon and it's, well...superb. Pricey to maintain though and some electrical gremlins from time to time but none of them deal-breakers. I purchased it new with a 3-4 year expectation and sorry to say it, I won't be stumping up for the new one for one very simple reason. I love the one I have. Highly recommended.
no way man, 12.7L per 100k？That was way too much for a 2L turbo! Even my 2014 sv6 commodore wagon got around 11 under city driving condition and i drive it pretty violently after work!
Saw one of these cars for the first time, parked outside my house today. A real eye catcher. I have a 2016 Subaru Outback (love) but if I were in the market, I'd be eyeballing the 206 wagon. If they were under 50k (drive away), I'd be tempted to go car shopping.
Can We See A Review Of The New Mitsubishi Triton GLS+ If They've Realeased It Yet...I Heard It's Good Even Though The Exceed Is Top Spec.My Uncle Has A GLX Triton and be had to get a new leather steering wheel because the leather all broke off.But appart from that he's loved it.Were talking Australia here.Also REDUCE the price on the exceed my uncle paid nearly $40,000 dollars for his and I think the exceed is nearly $60,000
It shares the same modular platform (assembled differently thats why it is called modular) and engine manufacturer as Passat and all concern cars. It isn't uncommon even for cars with completely different manufacturers from 2 different continents to share a platform and a same engine manufacturer.
+myvolvoforlife 3 seconds quicker 0-100 (or more practically speaking, substantially more performance everywhere in the rev range) for 0.3L/100km more fuel? seems like a fair trade off.
Dipra Bhattacharjee my little old Honda isn't that slow, more like 2 seconds slower to 100 than the Skoda :) I agree that the 2.0TSI will provide more performance and fun in daily driving and yes I wouldn't mind paying for the extra fuel useage, but with this whole concept of downsizing, I would have expected better fuel economy.
fair point actually. I suppose caradvice's fuel use figure reflects that they probably drove the car pretty hard at times, and probably isnt exactly line ball with day-to-day city driving
There was a 2016 test of some 4x4 passat and skoda 2.0 LK where reviewers rode the cars several hundreds of kms to Croatia and results for cars were 6.5 and 6.4/100km
€40k plus in Europe and factor in exchange rate and the cost of carting the sucker accross the planet, and that seems to be about right. Pretty much the same reason why the Subaru Liberty seems expensive in Europe, the freight.
+BigHomieIllyrianChopper Liberty/Legacy and if you want a Liberty with higher ground clearance, it is called the Outback which is why the first Outback was referred to as the 'Liberty Outback'. So Outback, Liberty, Legacy, same thing and the Outback is in the UK at least.
Holden commodore SS V wagon 6 speed manual is the ultimate D4D W460N with ample boot space and size not to mention power and a roaring engine RIP Too bad clutch shifting will soon be extinct and replaced with tiptronic 🤦🏽♂️ The future is becoming more and more computerised with technology evolving continuously where soon we will rely on a computer to drive our cars rather than ourselves. Me personally I don't trust any one let alone a computer to drive for me.
+CarAdvice.com.au Why do you guys have music in the background? If we wanted to listen to music, we would go to a music channel. Everyone here is into the car - not the music. Please cut the music.

Go drive one, you will get out with a smile and new respect
That Skoda is pretty much a better option than many of the other European brands. And basically it is a Passat with Audi bits and pieces and engineering quality.
This is one seriously great car with an excellent build quality. They rate these very highly in Europe (I lived there last year), easily as good as VW build quality. For $60k this car blows away all competitors! I'm going to order one :).
+AoyagiAichou You have apparently never owned nor driven one. Please enlighten us what car has a soul by your opinion? (the same or very similar category and pricing)
Ah yes, "apparently" I have no experience with every Skoda in existence despite the fact that I live in the Czech Republic. Perhaps it is you whose only experience is what they get from Skoda's marketing and reviews with barely any critique like this one? It certainly sounds like it. If I wanted to buy a cheaply built large family car, I'd go for Avensis, because while the interior fells just as cheap, it's ACTUALLY solidly built and probably won't start rattling in 2-3 years, not to mention the car is infinitely more reliable than anything VAG can come up with (largely due to the fact that is has almost nothing in it, but that's another thing). If I wanted a comfy large family car that doesn't feel as cheap as Superb or Avensis, I'd go for Citroen C5. But sure, if your only criteria is "perceived value for money when the car is new and has no options in it" and/or "space", Superb is probably the best bet (if you keep telling yourself (or don't mind) that Skoda isn't the corner-cut brand of VAG).
+AoyagiAichou so is writing a bullshit on Australian car reviews your hobby or what? you're from Czech Republic and yet still know absolutely shit about this car...

+wassupMannn Mate, you have no idea what car(s) I drive. Just a hint: they're not European. I know! It's totally unfathomable for someone who feels the need to rush in to defend their national pride without making a single substantial argument. Come up with one if you feel the need to defend this polished turd, or be ignored and forgotten.
A Citroën C5.. Whahahaha yeah right. Clearly you know nothing about cars !! Skoda is known for bang for your bug and scores high in reliability. FACT! Stop talking and beeing butthurt

Pricey? What was your previous car?
That's a really nice car, a lot of practicality and it looks nice too! Well done Skoda
I wish skoda was offered in america
Skoda Auto is thinking about exporting to the US, and possibly going to happen during this one or the next year.
Good review, bought one, super car. Very happy with it so far. Power house with space.
How’s it going now?
How does the legroom in the back of this thing compare to the Volkswagen Passat?
..its bigger than Passat stationcar and the Mercedes E Stationcar
..and its build on the Audi A6 platform....!
Best review Iv'e ever seen! :)
really? woooow
I've got a superb myself and it's great
Would you say it's Superb? 🤷🏾♂️
no way man, 12.7L per 100k？That was way too much for a 2L turbo! Even my 2014 sv6 commodore wagon got around 11 under city driving condition and i drive it pretty violently after work!
I owned a VF SV6 wagon and there’s no way it was achieving around 11 with city driving. I averaged 12-13 in suburbia.
Saw one of these cars for the first time, parked outside my house today. A real eye catcher. I have a 2016 Subaru Outback (love) but if I were in the market, I'd be eyeballing the 206 wagon. If they were under 50k (drive away), I'd be tempted to go car shopping.
Awesome car to drive. I have the hatchback 2lt diesel SE L model, and great for doing long distance driving. 😊
I'm buying this
Nice car Good performance. Does it run on regular gasoline, or is premium fuel required?
With the turbo it'd be 95RON minimum
Very nice car. Greetings from Croatia.. 31-01-2017
Perfect car.
RandomTechS@#T agree
wow, what a great car

well done Skoda! Shame it's so expensive!
+Australia Yeah it sucks that we don't get the comparatively lower pricing like they do in Europe :-(
+Mububban23 It costs about the same as it does in the Czech Republic.
+Mububban23 have mercy. How much is an A4 quattro? Same engine same awd same platform...same damned dsg
The Mongoose Superb should be compared with Audi A6 or bmw 5. It’s class up from a4 or 3 series
@@lovacable bought myself a 6 month 2017 vane from. 2.0 tfsi A4 from 11 the superb is leagues ahead. Really love this car ✌️😁
So it's a rebadged VW Passat?
Not that it's a bad thing.
It shares the same modular platform (assembled differently thats why it is called modular) and engine manufacturer as Passat and all concern cars. It isn't uncommon even for cars with completely different manufacturers from 2 different continents to share a platform and a same engine manufacturer.
VW MQB
It doesn't have permanent 4x4
Take my money.
12.7L/100km is horrible for a 2.0 turbo petrol. I get 12.4L/100km in a 2004 Accord V6 doing city driving only.
+myvolvoforlife 3 seconds quicker 0-100 (or more practically speaking, substantially more performance everywhere in the rev range) for 0.3L/100km more fuel? seems like a fair trade off.

My friend owns one. He is super satisfied. And he is an ex Audi A6 owner... And by the way he does 100km with about 9 to 10 litres.
Nice car👍
How dare Skoda make the superb better than the Passat!!!
Why it is so expensive in Australia LOL😂😂
