- YES, IT HAS HEATED MIRROS, BUT I WAS TOO DUMB TO FIND THE SWITCH. I'M USED TO MAZDA'S SOLUTION - HEATED BACK WINDOW+MIRROS, WHEREAS VAG CARS HAVE A SEPARATE SWITCH.
Skoda Superb 2020 received some hand-down tech from Volkswagen. It also has the largest boot in its class. And an umbrella. And some blankets for rear passengers. And an ice-scraper.
Starting price: 28 850 euro
As tested: 52 000 euro

Thanks for watching Marek Drives reviews. If you liked it, here are several other channels you may enjoy: Autophorie, Autogefühl, Bob Flavin, Carfection, Doug DeMuro, Driven Car Reviews, Fully Charged, TheSmokingTire, TheStraightPipes, VINwiki.
That's how all sedans should be built like, with a hatchback trunk! Thank you Skoda for keeping this design.
I have a pre-facelift 220PS Superb Combi and after nearly 5 years I am still thrilled with it. On my commute I get between 6 and 7 l/100km depending on traffic. The ride is very good (I have the active suspension option) and it is insanely quiet. I was surprised by Marek's comments. And the massive load capacity for family or cargo is second to none. Also the sound system (I have the Canton option) is absolutely suitable for hi-fi freaks like me. The design is more attractive IMHO than the Passat and it says a lot that its designer was poached by BMW. I am very happy with my Superb especially at the price I paid (imported in parallel from Poland) and would not change. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Apparently the noise as shown here was from the DSG.
I drove a Superb Scout with the same engine a couple of years later, and it was indeed Superb (except for DSG overheating, when I was driving down from the Alps trying to engine-brake).
I can't believe that there is so honest people that review cars. Usually there is fanatics who say that everything is good, that there is no flaws. I like this guy because of his honesty.
I've had my L&K 2L tsi 220 for just over 3 years (10k miles) as at Feb.2020. It is very serene when driving, something which encouraged me to buy it. The car has heated wing mirrors as standard at this level of spec. All round careful driving gives 33 mpg but at 65 mph on longer drives fully loaded this Golf GTi engine can achieve 46mpg. Nowhere near the 70 mpg achieved by my previous Skoda 150bhp 2L Tdi, but hey, who wants a rattly diesel these days?! No rattles, no squeaks, no problems with the Superb. Canton sound system is excellent. Lovely car. Why buy the very pricey Audi A6? In many respects it's the same car. Badge snobbery is expensive.
Very content Superb owner in Scotland.
David Mitchell I have the same spec car from around the same time I am always impressed every time I drive it. I came from a bmw 3 series touring 320d and was disappointed. The superb confounds expectations it is just better and classier and what surprised me was I found it more fun to drive quickly and the steering more precise.
The midspec A,bition in ireland has heated folding mirrors
Also the new VW diesels are far from rattly! So smooth and quiet
Given the amount of extra power, the TSI is very efficient.
the side rests at 4:10 are to help u sleep; not for stopping wobble while driving ...duh
to be fair, head is wobbling when you sleep...
It was a joke, duh.
@@philipcooper8297 you are defending like you're his mama ...lol
Much much better than merc c-class, BMW 3 series or Audi A4 even in lesser price....
In which way is it better? Handling? Nope. Comfort? Nope. Refinements? Nope. Luxury? Nope. Quality? Nope. Interior? Nope. It's only big, that's all.
BeyerT1 comfort: yes, handling: yes, affordable: yes, simply cleaver: yes. Have you even driven this car? Plus this review is so biased (personal problems with Škoda) Oh and never had a problem with the susspension. I have been in a c-class mercedes and the 2020 Superb is just better as a Business car.
BeyerT1 I have been in a Mercedes c class other than this one. Pretty sure the c class sucks when it comes to seating position and suspension both compared to superb.
@@Argon_02 agree
BeyerT1 in size definetly)
the horns in the back headrests are for sleeping...
I have had the 2016 superb se executive, and 2018 sportline
These are brilliant cars
It feels like you really doesn’t like the car, giving it a negative review when it doesn’t deserve it. Also missing on key things as heated wing mirrors (are standard obviously!) makes this review sub par.
I rather know the bad points of a car and decide for myself if the goods outweigh
@Johnny Dong yes I agree, but the bad things are much more important if you are planning to buy a car. I rather know it before buying than be surprised and regret. This is exactly why the critic character of Marek is making him one (perhaps the only) true trusty reviewers. Sometimes he gets far but I think he must have reasons!
Definitely you do not focus on one reviewer to decide a car, you listen to several and then remember what things persist.
my 2010 citroen berlingo van has heated wing mirrors
We got the pre facelift Superb Sportline, it has heated wing mirrors as standard, as well as the electric driver seat. I do not find the rear to be wallowy...yes there is a bit more road noise than the Passat. The suspension of our car also dosen't make that wierd sound like the car in video....we are quite happy with our Superb.
I’m on my second Superb exec SEL 2.0 diesel exec 190, it’s a working car and covers around 100k miles annually. I keep them for 3 years and offload to local taxi companies who run them for a few more years.
Sometimes I can physically be in the vehicle for around 15 plus hours a day, in and around London plus a combination of long distance as well. These cars are bullet proof, keep them serviced they will never let you down.
Skoda needs to address the following points on this revamp: the old model’s bi Xeon headlamps have a dip beam cut off which is to low, even if it’s adjusted to its maximum setting by the dealer. The front seat begins to really sag at the 150k mark, the ECG valve acts up if you idle the engine too much in traffic. DSG can snatch at low speed but you learn how to treat it to avoid that.
I know these cars inside out Skoda beats them all on affordability, build quality, reliability. The noise levels can be high but you can reduce that with decent tyres. By the time I move them on they still don’t rattle and drive tightly, that noise on the cobbles is not typical there is a fault with the press car.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but this one is just wrong. I had a Passat before my Superb and there is no comparison. The Superb is just better in every way - apart from the badge! I am in the process of buying another car at the moment and I could have had a Passat or Arteon - in the end and after looking at a range of other possibilities, I am going to buy another Skoda Superb. You would have to pay substantially more money to get all the same features as you would on the Superb. The real question then is this - given 3 sets of keys on the table, which set would you take if the money was not an issue? My answer is very easy - take the Superb every time. Why would I do that? Ultimately, in addition to the overwhelming economics of the deal that you get so much more for the same price with a Superb than the other two, there is one other overriding factor - comfort. The so-called posh Nappa leather seats on both the Arteon and the Passat are disappointingly poor if you are a big person. They have metal bracing struts running through them at the edges, whereas the Superb's seats are wider and have no metal bracing. For long journeys, which I do all the time, there is no comparison - the Superb is substantially more comfortable and so much easier on your back side. In the past, it was undoubtedly true that VW effectively prevented Skoda from producing better cars than theirs and Skoda was held in a category below VW. That day is long gone and Skoda go toe-to-toe with VW, despite being part of the same group. They take the best of VW and tweak it to be better still. The 'Simply Clever' description is just so accurate - they do so many things that bit better than VW now (just look at how much better Skoda do cruise control for example). This review is simply incorrect - do not listen to the voices!
But Passat and Arteon have better materials and more sound insulation.
Hi Dragos. I am not sure that is correct. I have now personally owned two Superbs and two Passats. They are both good cars and there is really nothing to choose between the two in terms of quality. What I would say is that the software on the Superb is quite poor and could do with a major overhaul. Regarding build quality, it is hard to fault.
@@angushogg3667 i mean the materials lower down are hard on the Superb compared to Passat.
Other than that, the Škoda is softer in the ride.
So much false negatives about the car, by an anchor who hasn't done his homework at all.
Btw, I'm not a Skoda fan!
Complaining about no heated mirrors. I suspect he did not adjust his mirrors otherwise he would have found the correct switch position.
Yes, he misses that it does have heated mirrors. And he complains about noise, but driving in one and comparing to the competition, I didn't find it more noisy. And the complaint about the tyre noise on cobblestones is a bit bizzare.
I mean, he could have complained about the lack of head up display or something. That would be more legit.
@@wolfblaide I tested the car before watching the review...and I found it noisy especially in the backseats. My Golf mk6 is more quiet....
had a superb for 3 years now and love it so much so getting a new one in May
🤦♂️😩🤮
To hell with this review. Really man? Can any review be more biased than this?
Totally agree with you.
been n a few of these as taxis, sometimes airport journeys. I agree with much of hat he ays. Not the quietest or best riding. Quite comfortable. Lots of legroom but not the widest cabin. A S90 is a vastly superior car to this.
This reviewer is talking rubbish....ear plugs in the back!! I've got a 2.0tsi one of these 3 years old with 48000 on the clock....its as quiet as a church mouse, suspension is fabulous, has all the performance from 280 horsepower you'd need. Think this guy is a bit of a badge snob.
He has personal problem with this brand. Thats all what you need to know.
Exactly what i was going to comment. I absolutely love my L&K 2.0 Superb ❤
been in a few of these as taxis and I agree that this is a noisier car than you would expect.
Exactly, skip this review and watch the dozens others that will say this car is the best value for money in its class.
Sound isolation of the Superb is really bad, car is average at best, the only thing it has going for it is the big space inside.
i don't agree with noise insulation. I have been in a test drive with a bmw 340i and that one let A LOT of road and traffic noise in. we were looking for open windows, that is how bad it was. the superb, on the other hand, was very quiet! not as quiet as an audi a6, but close.
passat is a bit quieter than this superb
Something must be wrong with your ears, I test drove a superb for a potential lease after my A4 and was shocked how much louder it was inside let alone an A6...
@@wardancer400 nope. I clarified this issue - I had test driven a bmw with insulation issues, who knows. drove another and it was REALLY quiet. as for the superb vs A6, of course Audi is quieter but it didn't seem that much more quiet to me. maybe different production years between cars (older a6, newer superb)?
Did you had a fight with your wife the night before reviewing this car?
he got pretty bashed up.
Skoda made a high quality car! I didn't know they are also in that family sedan market.
I am not skoda fan but this review is too biased... Not the best car ever made but definitively not the worst. For this price reasonable buy
Toyota corolla 100 light years better
@@rey6450 nah...it sucks. Its not even in the same class as the superb....fanboy😂
This car is highly underrated
This the best and most beautiful Audi money can buy
no big changes from previous model looks very same one I have but no doubt best car at the moment in the market 💖💝👍
The hatchback trunk is amazing, so are the blankets and the little thing on the headrest, but it should also have a reclining rear seat at this price point.
I have 2017 top model (280 bhp l&k), the roads are average-good in Israel (worse than europe), it sure is not as quiet as a mercedes or a bmw, the longest non stop journey i had was a 400 km drive which included highways, some in-town and some almost b roads. I can't say I felt any discomfort, neither did my passenger. Didnt feel tired after a 5-6 hour drive as well.
Toy-wise i feel like it is not a 'young' car - you have the sense that the function and practicality come together with the thought of putting all skoda can into the top model. It is not trying to excite you as it is trying to give you all the options you might think of, as an example:
A. you get a paddle shift + stick operated manual settings which can be replaceable.
B. You get at least 2 different ways of controlling ac (hardkeys, softkeys)
C. You get at least 3 different ways to control music, phone and so on (for example you can switch songs from the fastkey on the steering wheel, you can use the toggle on the other side of the wheel while audio is your chosen menu or you can use the multimedia touch screen.
The examples go on and on, and for me as a 30 year old this is more important than the excitement of toys.
The looks - absolutely subjective point. I like the fact that it is not trying too hard, nothing gives out the fact that im driving an almost 300 bhp 4*4 5.6 sec 0-100km/h monster. This is why i prefer it to sportline. Only those who know will recognise the 4*4 badge on the back, 19 inch wheels and the l&k side badge. Although being as powerful as an s3 or cupra/golf r it is grown up and does not make it dramatic: im sure plenty of 20 yolds will prefer the noisy cupra or golf r, by the age of 30 you all will be annoyed by the noises it makes, believe me.
Performance-wise it is not a sports car. Yes it does standstill to 100 in 5.6 or so seconds, yes you can corner insanely fast, but you get the feeling that the car does not want to do this. It is a serious car and it does not want you driving it with clown shoes. Still, find an empty parking lot, turn the traction control to sport and it will bring quite a smile even if being driven by a 20 year old.
Price-wise in Israel it is quite expensive, yet still compared to vw passat (which imo is just dull whatever the complectation might be), audi, small mercs and so on is the best value for money, without quite giving up any kit or performance.
It seems like complaining about roads is a national sport. Believe it or not, but many people watching my videos say in their country (insert any European country) their roads are far worse than in Poland. Now this is something you don't say to a Pole, because complaining is our national sport, and our roads are worse than everyone else's. Surely! :)
In Israel, Škoda is the best sold European brand.
I love my Skoda Superb. It is a 2018 plated build. My wife used it yesterday to drive to a place called Tamborine Mountain. From our house there is 42km one way. That with incidental driving for the day was just over 200km and it was only just on the first marker after full on the fuel gauge. I love that kind of fuel economy, especially for here in Australia. Everything is spread out even in the city. The price was good too. I bought the ex demo model from the dealership and they graciously gave me an extra discount for my work. After a couple of extras it cost $38,457.00AUD. I think I'll be buying Skoda again in the future.
P.S. Loved the review too mate. I'll certainly be watching some more.
Don't tell me that my favourite car has gotten better!?
I wish it had.
Hi Bob, we know you love it ;)
When im buying a car im looking into the engine of minimum 6 cylinders and rear wheel drive.
As of Skoda Superb, she is better then any of VW brothers and sisters...
Ali sa RWD ne može da ima toliko prostora. Superb se kupi zbog prostora.
Skoda is making very good cars, addionnally to material quality and practicality... Skoda Now improved so much their design and high tech aids.... The new octavia is one good exemple as well.
This review is very biased and should not be taken into consideration by anyone.
Marek how can you review a car but saying you have no idea what is new in 2020 facelift version...very ''credible and professional'' cough cough sarcasm. This was the Car of the year in 2017 and Car of the year 2019 - Best estate car category.
Ice scraper is there for a reason that you might be unaware of but even older Superbs have heated mirrors so not sure what are you talking about.
Also have you ever heard a Mercedes or BMW arriving to a client on rocks and stones like in the video? I have heard them and they make the same sound but on other hand I have no idea who would be arriving to a client who has an entrance road like that.
Saying Laurint and Klement version is putting this car into Artheon territory in terms of price is ridiculous. You forgot to mention that Artheon in this price range would be in lot lower trim and is lot less car for what it can offer. Placing Superb in a recycle bin of VW group clearly suggests this review is biased as hell. You should not do the reviews at all mate but if you do then for future reference go check the german or UK reviewers who reviewed this car on par or higher then VW.
The best part....comparing it to Kia Stinger that is not even in the same category is pretty lame.
I will have the Arteon over this any day, even if it is more expensive.
@@MarekDrives That is absolutely fine because it is your personal preference. Problem is when your personal preference clouds your judgment thus review becomes biased. If you can not put yourself in to shoes of parent with a family of 5 then you wouldn't appreciate the pros and cons of this car and you should not review a car when you already know you dont like it. That is what happened here and your review is very negative on a car that literally is looked for by families and fleet companies everywhere in the world apart from America. Non of the reviews I found described this car in such an unprofessional manner as you did.
I hope you'll learn from it as you are on path to influence peoples opinion. Have a nice weekend.
@BooYaa253 my (or any reviewer's) personal preference is what makes these videos relevant. Otherwise everyone would say "for this price it's a lot of car, so we can turn a blind eye to some minor inconveniences". Job done. Next.
I didn't say I don't like it. I just think it's overhyped.
Have a great weekend too!
Marek shares the view of most Superb 3 owners I know. They all tend to complain from wobbly ride and insufficient sound proofing. On the Bulgarian market at least, the Arteon is actually CHEAPER then a like for like Superb, after discounts.
@@veselinandreev269 Do you own Superb?
He talks alot of nonsense. What car does he own !!
you can pay more for VW or Audi but you still will not get the umbrella.
But skoda is pure version of the vw 😅
In India Skoda Superb is a dream car!
i dont know why i laughed so hard when he said that the leg room in the superb was superb
leg room in the back really is superb
6:55 what do you mean “imagine arriving to a client like this” - every car makes road sound, even when driving a Rolls Royce you’ll hear it from the outside if it’s on a cobblestone road.
There is road noise and then there is road noise. I have recorded (or at least heard) many cars on cobble stones, and none of them made sounds like this.
However as my viewers pointed out in the Polish version of this review, this is not the suspension sound, but DSG rattle. Apparently quite common with a certain DSG type, and VW says "it's not a bug, it's a feature". Apparently they can't tighten something more, or it would break.
@@MarekDrives Lol
I have a 1.4 SEL Octavia and it drive great . And I want to go fast ,it will go. And it cruises down the motorway brilliant.
Marek, have you seen any info on the kangaroo effecting 2.0TSI? Everything I've read concerns 1.5TSI, predominantly manuals and on the UK market.
We want V6 engine 🤗🤔😬 in this!! 🤫
You can just chiptune it to Stage 2 and it will be plenty of power to play with.
Nice review. Since April this year I also drive a VW recycle bin Skoda Superb :-) Mine has 1.6 TDI with 7 speed DSG in Ambition trim level. After discount it cost 29.950€, with all the safety options and a glass sunroof. Full size spare wheel included, that's a rarerity these days (not in the break version, only sedan) Average consumption 5L/100km.
I have to disagree on the cabin noise, in my opinion it's quiet. The lane assist is a joke, it is indeed not good. Before this Superb is drove a 2014 Superb 2 with a 1.6 TDI and manual transmission. The Superb 2 build quality was better, more solid, build like a tank. And despite it's design was older, the fuel consumtion was 4L/100km. In the current Superb the glove box compartment and door bins are smaller to, and the overall build quality feels more flimsy. Major selling point is the ballroom size back seat and boot. Greeting from Belgium and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
In Bulgaria, top version L&K Superb with 272 TSI 7DSG, with no options, is 38k Euro... How is this one 52k Euros...
this one is 44k euro in PL
with options.
Prices vary by country. In the UK the L&K Superb is about £36k (42K EUR)
In Romania it is 50k
I’m on my second superb (used as a long distance private hire vehicle), 2.0 diesel executive 2016 estate - just completed 200,000 miles. It has apple CarPlay, heated mirrors, but no blankets lol!
Drivers seat has now become a bit uncomfortable, and the headlights aim is to low (adjusts automatically on start up bi Xeon) and doesn’t compete with LED’s. No rattles, doors still close perfectly, serviced every 10k, extremely versatile, a Superb has never let me down they are simply the best.........Does the 2020 model come with LED headlamps?
It does have something Skoda calls "Top Matrix LED". Basically it cuts out part of the beam so as not to blind oncoming traffic. I've seen more elegant implementations, but as it's a Skoda it has that as standard from Ambition trim upwards, and it looks upmarket.
Nice..
But for 52k.. give me an A6..
As regards the noisy ride over cobbles....probably a regular size wheel with a bigger profile tyre will
Improve that... let's not forget that that one you are testing has 19 inch with ultra low profiles.....
ed w You cant find new a6 for 52k

So why VAG is so affraid of superb that they trying to get rid of it?
I like he's not another happy 'review' influencer.
An excellent and enjoyable script / review for a good working-class car.
Merry Christmas Marek!
Thanks. Merry Christmas!
It doesn't have heated wing mirrors because it does not have wing mirrors, it has door mirrors.
Wow, i have never seen blankets fitted to a car, That's very cool, thanks for Sharing, marek!
The video is good, but the "comparison" at the beginning is confusing. Is that diesel spec for Superb or gasoline? Automatic or manual? Station wagon or sedan? For instance there is 190 BHP superb but the torque is not 320 but 400 Nm. Also 7.7 sec 0-100 is for the DSG version. Not to mention the rest of the data. There is also 2 liter diesel of Mondeo with 180BHP available.....Insignia diesel is in 1.6 or 2.0 but no 1.5. There is 1.5 in gasoline version....aaah. :)
Great review as always by Marek. Shows the good and bad unbiased. I remember when he was reviewing the new Polo he mentioned some wind noise from the door mirrors over 120 km/h, which I objected at first from my short experience but have to admit after having the car for almost 2 years now. On another note that silly suspension noise on the Superb over cobblestones reminds me exactly my Polo, which is fitted with the electronic dampers (not the adaptive ones) and lowered chassis over same kind of pavement, that clunking metallic noise is irritating although my Polo sits on 17 inch 215/45 tyres. Didn't have the same when I tested the 16 inch wheel Polo with standard suspension.
I have a 2018 Superb L&K 2.0 190KM diesel engine 4x4 drive with full options with and the only thing I find frustraiting is the noise. But it is not the road noise but the wind noise after I go faster than 150 km/h. The car is great it has a premium feel and I like it by far more then a new BMW 5 or X3 in the same price table. L&K had different standard options depending on time of productions. So mine had double glass windows for the car to be more quit.
I don't know what Marek expected out of a skoda but in the price table of my skoda I didn't see anything more worth the money.
"Recycle bin for VW tech", this is good :D
But speaking of rattling VW chassis, have you ever heard something about rattling front brakes in VW, Golf in particular? Something that is responded from dealership as "constructive peculiarity" and gets fixed just for short time?
No, I haven't. However some of my Polish viewers claim this rattling comes from the DSG. And yes, it's also been described as "it's not a bug, it's a feature" :)
Actually on the Skoda they install technology that has been already tried and tested and bug proofed. On VW you get new technology that is still buggy sometimes.:)
I wonder if Skoda is coming to NA. It would be an interesting option imo. Anyways, have a very happy holiday Marek! Thanks for the great review! (your R seems to be missing in your mirrors in your blurb)
Somewhere in the FOG behind me there is a new car,haha
This channel surely has a sense of humor and I guess this is recorded in sunny UK? haha
Hopefully not the UK or he is on the wrong side of the road :)
My favorite car company 👌👌🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
your review is full of hard work and excellence
Marek, thanks for the review. Have you tried a Sportline and might the stiffer suspension fix the ride "float" at the back, or will the 19s ruin the ride?
Thank you for your review, i find them honest and helpful.
What would be your advice on buying a superb from 2015 -2020. Wich one to choose petrol or diesel?
Budget €20000
Thank you 😊🙏
Sorry. I don't advise on second hand purchases.
I think the horns are for sleeping.
And the no-crevice hood is still sexy AF!
I own 2018 model and this review is very misleading. Just go and test drive it. Its a really nice car.
Noice in a 2020 Superb.... WTF?!
Kia Stinger and it rwd dynamics can't be beat. Would be my only choice in this boring, beige, fake exhaust tips segment offerings
I have a škoda superb 2. Its a good car, i mean the 2.0tdi is fuel efficent and fast enough, there is a lot of space and its reasonably reliable. I would advice on getting one if you need space and want a cheap car.
52 000€??? Wft?! You can buy an E class, top range passat, Audi A6 and many more for that much money.
Btw I’m not mocking the review - I really enjoyed it. Even liked and subscribed
pierwszy! so is this car superb or not mr marek?
Another superb review - no pun intended!
You mentioned noise, especially in the back - is it wind, tyre or engine noise?
Also, did they reintroduce L&K trim, or is it only temporary like with the original launch of this generation?
General noise inside the cabin. I would say road noise.
I though L&K was a permanent thing. Every other Superb I see on the street is L&K.
@@MarekDrives So much for Skoda trying to go upmarket.
Here in Denmark L&K trim was only available for 10 months or so. But I guess people here weren't choosing that over the second-highest trim (style) just for leather interior, when it had had everything else. Also L&K was extremely expensive, especially since car prices in Denmark are absurdly high, only second to Singapore!
Interesting to hear you say a out the kangerooing, as I've heard its only on 1.5 Tsi Manual like my Leon, which I am trying to reject!
Too bad the best car. The Czech Republic is the best. Moje oblíbené auto Octavia 2020😁
Thank you Marek for the review, for me one of the best cars in the class!
You can buy Polonez
i saw this channel for first time, and its look interestig; by the way very good review!
That comparison in the table was really good and usable. I like Talisman the most but fuel tank is only 50l. That is really small.
Still good enough for 700-800 km.
Plus the talisman looks very good and you should get a great deal on it
Rear wiper doesnt look good on sedans specially luxury
Carwow si the best
This review was not very objective. I love skoda. Had a lot of them. Marek is definitely one of the worst reviewers i have ever watched. Info you passing is worse then dealers brochure gives. Slaying off the brand is not what reviewer should do. Very poor performance. Hire that car for a few weeks. And then review it. Someone please take this mans camera and throw it in the bin with his VW attitude.
How can you be objective if you love Skoda? :)
@@MarekDrives i don't need to be objective. I am customer. I already made my choice with S2 and S3. But you should be. You are reviewing it. Your reviews might influence future buyers choices. Hopefully it won't because everyone watching it will notice its barely honest review based on little time spend in the car and next to zero knowledge. Your opinion would matter to me 5 years ago. But luckily enough i watched different ppl then which laid down facts and had a car for months before writing down their notes and made reviews.
PS that noise on cobbles is not normal. It almost feels like when my break disc guard got loose on Polish "motorway" it was 70 km of hell after german border. It damaged my aluminium guard and it did sound like that. Loose metal rattle. I would get it checked out.
Ps2: i am not criticising. This is called feedback and its up to you how you use it. To better yourself and improve, or get mad/offended and not gain anything. I hope option A will be the case because option B is for children ;)
Have a great day!
4:20 you say that small movement in the steering wheel feels like a moose test in the rear seats. I agree with that. I noticed it when I was in a taxi. As you tried the Passat Alltrack I would like to know if you notice the same on it. Maybe I will buy an Alltrack but I’m afraid this happens on it. Your Passat had DCC? Thanks in advance
In the Passat I didn't feel that. But the Passat was AWD, and the Superb was FWD, so it's hard to compare.
Great review as always. I wish we had Skoda in North America. Yes we have VW as the junior Audi, but most of our VW models are just cheap, rather than being high quality good value. The Skoda also seems to have almost Toyota reliability compared to US VW which is closer to FCA reliability.
Can't say anything on reliability yet, but Volkswagen is going cheap in Europe now too. The T-Cross and T-Roc are horribly cheap and the new 2020 Golf is following that trend.
Skoda quality is below or on par with VW cars. It is the cheaper sister brand to VW with shared components, but essentially it is a Czech brand that is often 10% cheaper to the VW equivelant model with fewer engine and customisable options (which reduces manufacturing costs).
@@shroomyesc The two small crossovers I can sort of understand; they cannot be too expensive, and the segment itself is a sales proposition.
I was, however, horrified when I saw the new Golf! It definitely looks like a step in the wrong direction in pretty much every aspect. Even the digital displays seem surrounded by cheap, nasty looking plastic.
@ShroomWalrus
T-Roc is cheaply made but not cheap to buy.
Praetorius i See your point, but a vw polo has soft touching materials inside and a vw t roc (based on the golf, so one class up and more expensive) has plastic everywhere and it's the newer car than the polo
0:15 you need to put that at the end of all your videos
The emblem is a 'winged arrow' not a native American headdress 😎

"the blue-winged arrow, which is a stylized representation of an Indian headdress with feathers and an arrow"
@@MarekDrives sorry indeed u are correct....👍
Sorry,I’m not impressed.
For 52k euros I’d buy an passat 240 hp.biturbo tdi
fully quipped? I Doubt. Almost all cars given to reviews are in full spec. If you want, you can get superb for almost half of that ;-)
single turbo is more reliable and if you want more power you can chiptune the car. Or go straight for 3.0 TDi Audi
Not fully equipped,but nicely equipped...I just want the powerful biturbo.
I’d love a 3.0 tdi,but the displacement tax would kill me
Another great review! But Marek, what would you chose the 508 or the Spuperb?
Please, the 508 may be a beautiful car, but it's impractical. If we were talking coupes or sports cars 508 would get my vote, but as family/executive sedans go, the Superb is the one to go for.
Qué maravilla de coche para mí gusto un gran coche
This is really very good a car, but do not try to find premium class in Skoda clothing. That car is an example value for money. But be carefull, if you go for top spec variants to have all the bells and whistles, your tag will be premium.
Ambient lighting changes the instrument clusters too match. Are you watching BMW?
Sounds like the Tsi engine issues are still present - disappointing.
Back in 1980 in a visit to Skoda as my family where major distributer of Skoda car in the UK we where told the symbol is a mythical bird from history, it us nothing to do with American Indians at all
Ouzelum bird at least that what the family member told use.
Even Škoda itself doesn't know the origin of the logo. Škoda doesn't even know the author of the logo. But the logo was first used in 1923 and the rumors say that the author was one of the top executives of Škoda Tomas Maglic, who bought a native american (slave) - and used him in the logo.
I have checked the older version 2019 during buying my wife Passat. It is a huge sized reliable sedan. But nothing more. And interior is not in par with the claims of Skoda toward the luxury segment!! No life in it, even in the interior. No wonder it has no luck in our markets here in Egypt
Travelled as passenger in pre-facelifted Superb estate/wagon and also was unpleasant surprised by noise level even we travelled on country road at 90 km/h. Did you heard squeaky current generation Audi Q7 suspension when it goes over speed bumps? By the way for me in your table Camry looks weak, Mondeo slow.
4:06 im really died now :D :D :D best review ever
Pity the rear seats don't fold flat like in my Saab 95
What's wrong with this suspension?
Hello..which specific color is that Skoda in the video? Thanks (Maybe Blue Shark?)
Grey Business Metallic.
One dislike for the journalist himself whose way of interpreting is shit.

I have had a Superb myself for 2 years and i can tell you besides the big space it has nothing going for it.
Interior quality is not great, the leather seats are bad quality (mine were tearing after one year of use), comfort is average and the noise-isolation is really bad, by far the biggest turn off of the Superb! My diesel had many problems, EGR valve gave up after only 50k kms on the car, i can keep going..
they: so what do you do for a living?
marek: 4:10
ROTFL
In this price range! I prefere 3 series mercedes class c or a tesla model 3. Yes their less spacious but they offer more quality, design and also something that VW group cars dont offer, emotion. They offer rationality and they are very balanced in all aspect but its just that
@@agnidiptahomroy8656
Yes that is a great true. They are not reliable. In reliability Lexus is the first.
I wouldn't buy it because the car doesn't blow air on the umbrella to dry it. How bad. (Makes no sense to save this few bug, I go right for the Rolls-Royce)
I always tell Bentley drives they picked the wrong car :)
meeeh, skoda will stay skoda
Is it really that floaty in the back? Enough to induce vormiting in kids prone to car sickness?
I don't know. I don't have kids, and I never had motion sickness.
