- The Skoda Superb comes in a very fast version with 280bhp and I needed to test it for both power and that Dragon Scale green colour!

Just bought a 4 year old one based on this video - absolute bargain of the century👌
The drone shots are class man!
I'm glad you like it, I'm designed to work with one
Bob, I love your down to earth style. Thank you for your Superb review (pun intended).
TV show for Bob Flavin!!
I'm open to all offers! There's a very special review coming this week that had a crew working on it, I just saw an edit today and it's epic. Coming soon
I like the music back tracks you have been using Bob.

Loved the video, car and drone shots. You've taken it to another level Bob. Can't wait for the next one.
Cheers Ray
The drone really adds to the review, nice!
Nice one Bob, definitely keep the drone shots coming!
Music is too loud. Otherwise great review!
Drone shots are superb, Bob
+Alistair Robson cheers fella!
Bob Flavin is Auto Journalism!
Good stuff as always!
Thanks very much!
great video Bob. drone shots fantastic.
Excellent video Bob! Helped me decide to buy one. You were spot on with your comments and entertaining too. Best reviews out there!
+loadswine ta very much!
Howya bob.. love the reviews over the years sheer class.. it would be interesting take these cars to the hills of Donegal and see how they cope..maybe that's your next video.. take care and keep them coming.. cheers Adrian
Hi Bob, the drone shots look great, it gives an openness and cinematic scope to the video…nice work !!!
Thanks!
This exact car caught my eye in the Ikea car park today 😄 A really good looking Skoda!
At 2:06 you say Octavia, but I can forgive you that. Because the rest of the vid was.. I didn't wanted it end!
The kids showed up and I prepared for more fun, but then you signed off.
Awesome car, great vid, drone is only welcome addition.
Wanted to see more about this cool spec, more detail shots and how spacious etc.
Keep on, Bob!
Cheers!
Excellent and respectful presentation in few words Well done!
The Drone was a great purchase Bob, really adds that extra dimension....it takes us to the far side!
It was donated by a viewer which is fantastic!
Wow....Great donation!
Nice looking video. Great work. :-) I just didn't learn as much as I hoped about the car which also looks good btw. Is it really up there with the likes of the A6 or other premium execs out there as some say?
bob i told you about that superb months ago on 1 of your Sunday services. id seen it on an Aussie car review , remember Bob, you said the car wouldnt be seen in this country, you cant beat a Skoda man Bob. Just ordered my 4th VRS last week, 08 . 131 limited edition. 142 . now the new model, gret video Bob
Great video Bob the drone footage works well as for the colour I rather like it. 👍
Hi Bob,
yeah the drone shots def add something to these videos.
LOVE the review, love the car... Superb!
Alcantara steering wheel superb - and noted it's half alcantara seat trim too. Great video Bob - "see you on the far side"....
I love the sharp lines of this car. I love esates as I have kids and love camping with lots of gear. Can't wait until I can afford a used superb estate.
That is a great q-car. I'd love one after my Octavia VRS. Live the drone shots by the way.
Nice drone work Bob, what drone have you got? Music a bit loud other than that the video is good. Few shots opening doors, sitting in the back, checking the boot wouldn't go amiss!
the drone shots really add to this video
Alcantara steering wheel😉 great review👍
Really love your show! Great detailed reviews always. Please could you review the 2017 skoda Octavia vrs estate version in petrol please as I would love your view on it and also what sort of sounds it has....
As soon as the new one hit Irish shores I'm in it!
Nice video, thanks..
Hi Bob. Excellent review. Will sign up to a donation once my new debit card from my new bank arrives.
I have a question for you if that's okay. I'm looking at the Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 diesel and the Skoda Superb Sportline 2.0 diesel 150bhp with upgraded 19" alloys. I've always driven manual transmission cars. But this time around I'm considering DSG. If you were to chose between these two models yourself, what would you chose and what transmission would you chose? Thanks in advance for any advice.
The color on that car is "bang on" !
This is literally my car ! Stage 3 now at 420 bhp
Nice colour!
awesome colour,reminds me of the saab color they did for a few years.
Superb Video Superb car
keep up the good work
Great vid
It's a TSI not a TFSI. Good cars, I drive a Cupra with the same motor. Golf R shares the same motor.
Which drone did you use to film this is looks awesome
World class stuff.
Loving the drone shots Bob, way more of the same please. Also very nice car and colour. #SMASHTHATLIKEBUTTON
Nice video 👍👌
Love it Bob.As a motability member am always looking at cars.Got to have a new car by this time next year,Must be Auto am looking at the Seat Leon st fr and the Skoda octavia estate.What do you think.I have a 2008 at the moment which is great.
Skoda Octavia estate. It has a flat floor in the boot where the SEAT has a small step. It might make a difference if there are chairs involved. Skoda also has a wider front door opening. They both have a decent area for hand controls should you need that.
Absolutely outrageous that mobility users have their cars replaced every 3 years....no wonder were so deep in debt. Shouldn't get a new one for 7 years or 100000 miles.
👏🏻 bob
Bob. a good video. What type of drone are you using? When you are bored with it can i have it😀.
It's a Mavic Pro donated by a viewer, I've been using it daily so you'll have to get it off me when I'm dead. Your in the will :D
Love the videos can you tell me what drome use are using.
Mavic Pro, best camera ever
A bit late to your video but does anyone know how low it is to get in to the drivers seat of the Superb?
I'm currently driving a 2016 BMW M135i and it's low and playing havoc with my knees getting in and out.
Any info greatly appreciated
Hi Arthur, the Superb is a lot taller and easier to get into than the M135i, much easier on the knees
@@BobFlavinVideo thanks for the quick reply much appreciated thanks.
Was that yer man Christy I saw there in the JCB Bob ?
Don't forget your shovel !
Like the drone, great quality ... what drone is it? Sorry if that's already been asked 🤔
That's ok, I'm used to answering questions. It's a Mavic Pro
Cheers Mr. F. Keep up your great work !
Great review as always, but any auto journalist talking about the number of knobs in the cabin is on really shaky ground...
+David Ellis there's one big knob in that cabin 😏
What's the price for that bob ? Probably more than a GTi?
How is the suspension?Is it very comfortable?
#likebutter 😀
I had an Insignia Elite spec hire car last year and it had apple car play on Bluetooth.
Yes wireless car play (and others) is on the way for all cars
Nice review Bob.. I had the opportunity to drive that exact car 2 weeks ago at the Pilsen Auto RS owners day and have to say it is some machine I loved it. But id find it very difficult to justify paying near 52k on the superb 15 k more than my RS as apart from power and size the 2 cars are near identical inside and out.
I love the colour but it would be some sleeper car in black or silver
Mike, the car doesn’t cost 52k it’ll cost you about £35k brand new.
@@iainhewitt695 this is euro.
@@iainhewitt695 ik this is an old comment tho
Liking the Radiohead there Bob…
I love the DSG -
Bob it's a superb not Octavia I hope just love the drone shots just a few questions what's it like fuel wise I guess it's quite heavey
I know, I've had a Skoda week and slipped the tongue. It's got 40mpg easy so long as you keep it out of sport.
Grand
nice kolR :)
drone shots are 👌, who's flying it?
Me and it flys by itself
Is he Jack Nicholson? He is almost like him 😀 & about car it's awwwwwesome!!
Bob, you tried a Kia Stinger yet?
At 4:16 I feel sorry for Bob, not a nice situation to be in, it'll wash off easy enough though!
Noooooo, it's made out of Alcantara, not velour. :)
dralvarhanso When do you ever find velour in a car. Especially a Performance vehicle like the Superb Sportline!
Bro you said the Skoda Octavia 280bhp instead of the Superb!
Music is too loud, or mic volume too low, needs to be balanced out. Its 276bhp, 280psi. Also it's a Superb, not an Octavia
It would be good to hear more about the car like a few other reviews with a bit more detail.
Needs to be Closer with the drone video
Estate version would be awesome!
Am I the only one having an issue with the split between the A pilla and the bonnet?
its not and Octavia?
2:04 its a Superb not an Octavia ha!
A bit of a character... sounds drunk... but hey that's a good thing. Each sober moment is a wasted moment. There are so many sleepers, though, that 280 PS in a 1600 kg car is only just there. An Audi RS6 is the ultimate sleeper but pricey. The Passat had a sleeper a few years ago but it never sold. This may do better.
the car seems really comfortable as he says....i could barely see his face because the camera is shaking so much
It is comfortable, I didn't say it's a good camera mount, it's a car ffs
dragon skin yellow is the colour not green
Or 560ps :) www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/readers-car-of-the-week-skoda-superb/36590
Still looks like grandads fire grate at the front with that grill though .. but hell of a good car apart from boring.
what a rash statement...... Blow everything else of the road ...i dont think so
Wanna try?
not left with much sense of the car interior - or too much sense of what its like too drive - but a lot of music and general chat - you have done better IMO
Gotta agree tbf. Would liked to have learned a little bit more detail about the car in this review: ie: What's it like as a getaway vehicle, can you properly scare your kids/mother-in-law in it down a twisty B-road, does it park itself when the wife's borrowed it etc, etc? ;) But Bob, we fackin' love ya, generally, so I'll not doc your wages...this time...! ;) Drone shots are nice imho. Less sheep.
Music to loud!!
Bob, drone shots look fab, but be careful with flying the drone around animals, cattle, HORSES etc, as the noise the drone makes can drive them mad, they seem to think it sounds like a horsefly or something, I just don't want you in trouble with the jockey society!!!
Your music is way too loud! It shouldn't be louder than your voice!
Music is a very polarizing thing, so unless you are running a music TH-cam channel, you should keep it at a minimum.
Didn`t hear the tractor but why is the bloody music so loud!! I don`t know what it is with youtube content creators that they want everyone to be constantly on their volume controls to avoid the family rushing in shouting "Turn it down". Then we get to the important bit of the review and can`t hear it.

Long time subscriber here.
A few very annoying pet peeves:
- on every one of your videos the music is WAY too loud and your mic/voice WAY too silent - please do something about this
- it would be nice if you spent more time on reviewing the car than talking about the scenery, road work, colours (really?) or how the little youtube bell button works...
- take the time to learn (and to PRONOUNCE!) some terms specific to car reviews, like "Alcantara" - it will make you sound more professional
- asking viewers to subscribe 3 times during a 12 minute video is TOO much! - viewers will subscribe (or not) regardless of your asking, based on the quality of the videos/reviews
Cheers!
Where to start with this:
" on every one of your videos the music is WAY too loud and your mic/voice WAY too silent - please do something about this" I'm calling bull, there's a load of videos on my channel that doesn't even have music. In this video there's about a minute where there's a music bed and for the other 9 minutes of video there isn't ANY music. In that one minute I can hear everything I say perfectly.
"it would be nice if you spent more time on reviewing the car than talking about the scenery, road work, colours (really?) or how the little youtube bell button works..." How about I do what makes this channel different?
"take the time to learn (and to PRONOUNCE!) some terms specific to car reviews, like "Alcantara" - it will make you sound more professional" How about no.
"asking viewers to subscribe 3 times during a 12 minute video is TOO much! - viewers will subscribe (or not) regardless of your asking, based on the quality of the videos/reviews" Now this is just being silly. People don't just subscribe, I know this after seven years and 13.5 million views where I never asked anyone to do anything.
Look, I appreciate a decent and well thought out comment but right now my channel is growing very fast and the number of positive comments that come in is very high. I am not every other channel and if you've been here and watched all the other videos you'd know this. Now, you can watch and join in with my channel and the craic we have or you can go elsewhere and get the kind of content you want.
--- "I'm calling bull [...] I can hear everything I say perfectly."
This was meant to be a sound-levels-mismatch-check-heads-up thing. The intro music is way up, and then I have to reach for the volume up knob to hear what you're saying. I suppose I could get a sound meter and show you the results, but it's a bit overkill and overinvolvement - I'll just settle for my comment on this and the other few comments mentioning this.
--- "How about I do what makes this channel different?"
That's a healthy road to take, in general, but every "different" is different. Fiat-Multipla-different is the wrong kind.
--- "Now this is just being silly. People don't just subscribe, I know this after seven years and 13.5 million views where I never asked anyone to do anything."
And this comes after 7 years of content consumer or just content producer? Do you subscribe to channels only because the host "reminds" you to subscribe?
--- "[...] but right now my channel is growing very fast and the number of positive comments that come in is very high."
And does that mean you're on a youtube-ego-stroking-high and critiques are not welcome? That's should be a warning sign...
--- "Now, you can watch and join in with my channel and the craic we have or you can go elsewhere and get the kind of content you want."
Now, that's just rude and butthurt narrow mindedness, Bob, the like you see on pimple faced youtube "famous" celebs. It's beneath you. Don't.
I've been a subscriber for 5+ years and your channel is the only motoring/cars/reviews channel I'm subscribed to, because yours was different, a good kind of different. But in the last year or so something changed, technically and quality wise. Now, you can take this "bull" as constructive critique (as it was meant), or as the little youtube-analytics-red-devil compels you to - "another disgruntled viewer who insists on clinging to your channel and throws manure at you for no good reason".
Just keep in mind that the vast majority of viewers are lurkers who don't bother to leave comments, mainly because they don't care for interaction or just simply don't care. Taking the comments of those tens or hundreds who do at face value ("the number of positive comments that come in is very high") is a slippery slope. I'm one of those lurkers, Bob; this is my first comment on your channel - which was almost an unsubscribe click, but then I thought "hey, let me just stick with the man a little longer and help him out with a piece of advice"; because I actually CARE about this channel, Bob, and I want it to grow stronger and healthier.
Cheers, Bob, peace!
