I have a 67 plate SEL Exec tourer in quartz grey, have the 1.4TSi DSG and opted for pan roof, Kessy, heated wheel with paddle shift, ambient lighting and 18 inch pegasus alloys. I am 3 years and 6 months into my ownership and this week passed 36,000 miles. My experiences are as follows, car is amazing, dealers are poor. Thankfully my visits to dealers was a faulty water pump and the 3 annual services. I find the car very comfy, its great on fuel and I honestly think id have spent more on running costs had I chose a Fiesta/Polo. I haven't touched the brakes yet, I had two front tyres at 29,500 miles (July 2020) and thats it. I fill the car from near empty (£80-85 of petrol), if I'm driving a little keen I see 550 a tank, but most tanks pass 600 miles, if I take the car on a couple of long drives Northampton to Yorkshire, 2 hours each way, I have seen a return of 700 miles. I have to change my car in Sept as I took it on a private lease, I keep thinking about all sorts of cars, and I can see myself going for another Superb, mainly because a BMW will cost way more at the dealership for its annual service, it won't return the same MPG, the Mercedes seem to have reliability issues, Audi is more expensive version of what I have, Ford just not as interesting, Vauxhall.... worth nothing when your finished with it..... Superb is best all rounder!
Have had 3 Superb's My current one is a 22 plate Diesel estate DSG. Lovely car. Excellent fuel return, 50-65 a gallon . quality finish, and plenty of safety features an 'toys' including reversing camera. . Only complaint is the steering lock is poor. You have to be careful on tight junctions, on country roads where I am, and place the car wide to get around a tight junction. Other than that, as you would say, Superb. Fully recommend to anyone.
What a crap... Tax on 2.0tdi is only 20£... Bmw and audi ahead with look yes and price even more. You can like it or not but why better quality than mondeo (I drive ford), lots of space and headroom (mondeo at the rear its a joke), boot min 100l more than any other in this class
I wonder why car manufacturers generally offer shorter warranties in Europe than in the States. For instance, Hyundai and later Kia built their brand based on 10 year/100,000 mile warranties and VAG lagged behind for a while but within the last few years have gone to 7 year/I forget the mileage (possibly 100k?). The only companies that I think still lowball at around 3 years/36,000 are the ones that can get away with it because of earned reputations of building reliable cars, i.e. Honda and Toyota.
The moose test does not represent anything these days. Many cars pass just because electronic stability control features break at first part of manoeuvre almost up to a stand still. Many cars fail just because they are heavier and bigger cars these days. It is still a safe car to drive, it just isn't meant to be steered like a sportscar. Superb has far far worse downsides than that.
Very noisy suspension. Even with DCC. Poor braking performance. Bad interior quality, even the L&K, stitching on the leather is all over the place. Bad voice control, absolutely useless. Bad steering wheel controls, the buttons are falling apart. Still OK car for the price, and with 272hp engine it is even a fast car in a straight line from a standstill up to 100mph maybe.
Have you had the factory suspension bump stops removed? They accidentally left them in on quite a few cars. They used them for transporting the car before sale. Mine had them left in and I thought the car was great but crashy around the ride. Once removed it was a totally different car.
BMW and Audi are streets ahead when it comes to having your house burgled for the keys. Much rather have an under the radar vehicle
Definitely
Best value car on the road -- superb to drive
Wtf? They are sooo expensive on Czech Rep. And holds value incredibly well for such money trap…itls garbage tbh

Looks good 2me..((sportline with Vega alloys and with a sunroof)) 👌💯❤
This is the new New Zealand police car
Think the v/o is done by Steve Fowler, editor-in-chief of Auto Express and Carbuyer.
This is not a review it's an advert...
if this was a skoda advert, there would be no bad points- that would be terrible advertising
It looks superb
where is Ginny/James I really grew to enjoy them. You can’t take them away from me and bring in a new person. That’s so rude
Why don't car manufacturers go down the diesel hybrid path? Makes more sense to me.
I hope VW have sorted the disastrous early 1.5Tsi engine issues🤔
What issues?
Says the 1.5 litre petrol is the best and then calls it a boring car. Righto.
I've got a octavia 245 vrs, can't beat it
i love cars. tired of suvs
Kia may have a 7 year warranty but they would need to actually look at your car when left in for it to be affective 🤦🏻♂️
I didn’t understand this, can you explain a bit more. I am looking at a kia to buy but I wish I could get a skoda
Image is known as cool factor.
Looks really atractive to me
The image is meh, you would get bored of a beautiful car in some time anyways.
amazing camera quality
I like this car

I have a 2019 Superb, they come with a 5 year warranty here in Australia. www.skoda.com.au/owners/warranty

Best
You forgot that the skoda SUPERB IV didn't pass the Moose test so its a bit low on safety

Really...

Comlete rubbish.
