  • The Skoda Superb Estate may come from a brand with budget origins, but it might just have what it takes to hold its own against more premium rivals. To find out why you should think twice about that order for the VW Passat Estate or Audi A4 Avant, watch my in-depth review!

      @adventurerwannabe Před 2 lety +1

      only thing about estate vs suvs is that suvs can gain room without getting so long. Since I dont care about having a sporty drive, I rather get room without gaining so much length which can make maneuvering stressful in small parking lots in the city.

Best value for money car I have owned. Great to drive and very comfortable. Plus it can move along when required. I will have another (maybe the hybrid when it comes out next year).

In the sportsline version, I know for a fact that it is also alcantara, not quite sure about Style though. Thanks in advance, I know this isn't an easy question, but I myself just can't find any information on it.

That is just ridiculously good value for a very practical and very capable car.

    The Superb is a great car, but one thing I find irritating is that 7 times out of 10 the glovebox doesn't fit properly and is wonky when closed, a small attention to detail which lets the car down

    Does the back seats have some air vents?

    Why would you want tft dials on the dash. It's just something to break. Analog Dials rarely fail these days even after 300k miles

    One thing that annoyed me about the car is the headlights, in the uk they're standard halogen lights where elsewhere they have the xenons, even ireland and we usually have less spec in the cars

    That rotating on logo would drive me insane. It's little things like that that spoil an interior for me. Although, I do think the Superb is the best car in it's class.
