      Meni Fo I will be upgrading to a Superb but I own a 2007 Skoda Octavia at the moment with 230,000km on the clock and the only thing I have done is servicing, timing belt, breaks, wipers, tyres and bulbs. Literally I've had to do nothing to the car. Haven't replaced a bearing or a ball joint. Nothing has failed. Absolutely faultless.

    Great review. Very well delivered with none of the standard drivel that motoring journalists echo each other about ”Nurburgring times” and ”lack of feedback from the numb steering ”. Family and business cars are about practicality and comfort foremost. This guy is also extremely natural on camera, with no awkward corny jokes

      I doubt Skoda will sell any better than Alfa Romeo in the US, which sell about 40 units a month unless it's selling under VW brand. In the US, there are many brands competing with one another but when you look at it, 99% is dominated by
      American, Japanese, German and Korean. No other European companies except for German will ever be accepted by them for some reason.

    • @MichalFarana

      Hi from Czech Rep... actually, Skoda has already prepared everything and will try to succeed on American market - probably in 2017 - starting with their new Kodiaq SUV. The news here are full of this.

    I love your honesty and non-bias to anything that isn't a VW, Audi or BMW - unlike some "other" journalists who would have ripped the car to pieces for some arbitrary reason like door pockets can't fit a 5 gallon water bottle, or there is a slight wobble to the center console if you anchor yourself to your seat and frantically thrash about from side to side in the car like you are having a seizure. It is a good looking car. It's kind of classy that even if it is just a media car that you don't bang and smash things open and closed and do things to it that you would never to do your own car.

    It is a great car as I am using for over a year, steeped in good quality product, perceptible for its luxurious interiors, adequate power, DSG automatic is superb. Long driving hours no deterrence for driver and also for the passengers. Over priced in India due to taxes and duties but I understand it is selling very well. The only competition it has is with Audi and BMW but these two brands charge a bomb to the buyer for nearly same comfort and executive feel.

    I have a fully loaded Skoda Superb SEL 2.0 diesel that I bought just over two years ago with all the extras I could manage. It is in constant use and is just about to pass the 70,000 mile mark. Before that, I had another Skoda Superb L&K, diesel 2.0
    s which was sold with 73,000 miles on it. My views on this car oscillate between hatred and admiration! On one level, it is economical, comfortable, has great servicing costs (compared to Mercedes, BMW etc) and it is an all round amazing machine. HOWEVER, the software on this car is just dire, dire, dire. I have had countless problems with travel assist (posh name for lane keeping) that have driven me mad - no one wants to listen to the thing going 'bing' every few seconds for a hundred miles at a time! Also, it kept dropping telephone calls and the sat nav was just a disaster - wandering off into the middle of nowhere at the most inopportune moments. The Skoda garages and customer care side of things is fair to middling - fundamentally Skoda do not really care and just pay lip service to resolving issues. On one level you have an incredible car, but on the other it is so badly let down by these software issues that have plagued it, I would have to say, 'Proceed with caution'! Sure, it is a great car - when it works. However, the software problems just never seem to get fixed. Cheap and cheerful is the best description!

      +KevinTheFirefighter well, you stated at the beginning that Skodas are built in poor countries because it's cheaper there, which is bullshit. Skodas are built in Czech Republic where they are designed and engineered. China, Russia and India produce cars for their markets only. Then you mentioned the difference between German and Czech salaries, which again doesn't have anything to do with Skodas being built in Czech Republic. Now you can take your facts and do whatever you want with them, Mr I know everything

Around town it will achieve low 40’s at best and on motorway at 70 more like high 50’s / very low 60’s.

      I think its not so simple. Yes the VW saved the Skoda, and its influence on it is big and obvious, but the brand is and still be czech. Otherwise we could say the Volvo is chinese, the Jaguar/LR is indian, Chrysler is italian. Or that the Lamborghini is german. Or the Roll Royce, Bentley, Seat, Ducati, Bugatti etc. Maybe we could but it doesnt sound right to me...

    A rather underwhelming and lacklustre review once again with a tinge of snobbery for good measure- Skoda is not a country. Why start off by saying it is not German it's a Skoda? Skoda is part of the VW group it is a Czech brand in name only as it is 100% owned by VW, but the styling is still carried out by Czech designers, which in my opinion looks better than the VW stablemates.

      @Minace141 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tata owning Jaguar and Landrover is a different thing. VW designs most skodas and seats from the ground up. Some parts are taken straight out of their VW counterparts. My 2014 Skoda has a sticker in the boot with numbers for every option taken with this car on it. It says VOLKSWAGEN on the top of it... so this greasy chump reviewing these cars and straight up saying they are not german with a smug face is straight up wrong.

    every time I see the center display in black and white, not even colour let alone tft nav etc, I'm reminded VW won't allow Skoda access to at least some of their latest stuff.
    That alone would be annoying as it is something you look at every time you drive.
    otherwise. cracking car.

      +Vintage Eagle It's immature and the fact you don't see it just tells me that you are. The viewership has increased by nearly double and subscriptions have increased by 100k, is this because Matt left? No. It's normal, and people click thumbs down for all sorts of reasons. We don't need hate spreading folk to put downers on everything because they think there cool.🙈

    Not knowing when this review was actually filmed I wonder why you'd recommend buying any VW Group vehicle with one of their corporate TDI diesel engines? To quote Volkswagen's fraudulent CO2 emissions is massively deceptive to the viewers! To this date Volkswagen has yet to correct the software in any of its diesel engines they tried to pass on to the buyers as "clean." Those engines produce forty times the quoted CO2 emissions! You shouldn't in my opinion recommend any VW Group diesel engined vehicle until this scandal has been rectified.

    • @mattrussell250
      @mattrussell250 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The engines involved are from years back. This doesn't use any engines which were caught up in that scandal. And I think most people are past caring, to be honest...!

    • @jamesgordon783
      @jamesgordon783 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a hatchback. The tailgate opens up like a hatch

    • @marekscurkevic680
      @marekscurkevic680 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      lol... So do Audi Q7 so its hatchback? 1. and 2. Superb were saloon cars and this one is hatchback because of the new back door system? Please learn something about cars before writing this bull shit. Or just check definition and pictures of hatchbacks.

    • @jamesgordon783
      @jamesgordon783 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Marek Ščurkevič It even says hatchback on ŠKODA UK. Yes, it's maybe a liftback, but a liftback is just another variant of hatchback. Yes I understand what you mean. When you think of hatchback, you think of Ford Focus, VW Golf. It is not a saloon car like Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series because their boot lids don't open up fully, like a Golf, for example, does. An Audi Q7 is an SUV because of the jacked up suspension and I think says SUV/4x4 on the Audi website

    • @marekscurkevic680
      @marekscurkevic680 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Awayze
      @Awayze 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Lee Yates My 525i is 12 years old, the LCI model in 2007 had a 3.0L engine which was faster and a lot more fuel efficient than mine. I had access to a new M5 and that has a 4.4L engine and that averaged 22mpg, same as my 525i. Your Superb isnt that great, after all its a VW, not a Beamer. I reckon a petrol like the 528i would be more of a comparison and it'd come out on top.
