The Perfect Time to buy a Skoda Superb ? | 4K

Could it be the ideal time to purchase a Superb? I recently spent a week with the car. My first experience with the Superb. Will the substantial boot swallow my bike? With the launch of the new Superb, maybe now is a good time to get a deal on the outgoing design.

    Great review Ped. Very tempting at the sort of price you can pick them up for now.

    I’ve recently become the owner of a 2018 1.4ACT DSG Estate. First order of business was try to load up the monstrous boot space (660litres) with luggage for two and point it from Wigan to Oban for week.

    On the motorway its simply sublime with an excellent Active Cruise Control setup even on my near poverty spec (SE) ex fleet example.

    Actually even whilst poodling around Scottish A Roads the ACC worked well if I was feeling lazy and if anything was getting better fuel consumption then when driven without. (Overall we got abou 45mpg average over the week)

      Oh and I should add, the limo like leg room in the back means when we carry the grandkids around in their kiddy seats they’re not kicking you in the kidneys as happened with my Old Ceed and my GFs OG Ioniq

    I think you gave up too early with the bike if you had removed the parcel shelf and put it an angle I am convinced it would have gone in. The tow bar negates the need though with a tow bar mounted carrier mind you your bike at the price of the build I would be putting it in the back on the most padded fluffiest Duvet money can buy and probably a few pillows thrown in for good measure. For the car a pretty good package and it can’t be bad or it wouldn’t be the car favoured by the taxi drivers. I also love that colour if it is the same as the VRS blue.

      I fit my Giant Defy race bike in and can also fit Voodoo MTB with 29” wheels in.
      Your correct, remove parcel shelf.

    I seriously considered a Superb estate (bike related!) a few years back. The deals on them were crazy, but ultimately went elsewhere.
    It was a tough call, and come the time I maybe looking at a car in the future, Skoda would be very close to the top of the list.

    Yup, as a fellow cyclist can confirm NO bike goes in a car both wheels on unless back seats flopped!!!! Even get it in boot with just front wheel off it a miracle !!!!

    The original Superb’s had a split hatch opening system where (if I remember correctly) the tail would open fully or you could open the rear screen portion. It also had the range topping 3.6 v6 4×4 and that was a monster to drive. I drove one briefly on an airfield while I was on a 4×4 driving course back in 2009.

    I think you’d like the current 2 litre 4×4 Superb with 290 bhp, but there’s no vRS trim level in the Superb range which I find odd as you can have the Octavia, Enyaq and Kodiaq in vRS trim…

    I find it amusing when you comment on the infotainment system. In my own car apart from the ever on Sat Nav screen the rest has been turned off for about three months. I have this problem that I like to talk to my passenger, my wife.
    I cured the ‘will it fit’ on my bike by having a quick release for the saddle stem. No need to remove wheels!
    The rear screen wipe is very useful in heavy rain at slower speeds, esp if you need to reverse.

    Agree with you Pete about buying nearly new, bought a 1yr old Mazda 3 Sky active X with only 1850 miles on and £1500 worth of Extras on it and saved £6500 over new. Do not
    think you have ever reviewed a Mazda I think you would be surprised at the interior quality and great mpg you get..
    Skodas have really upted their game recently.

    For the best bargains I also buy my cars at 1-2 years old & low miles. I’m on my 2nd Superb Estate & it’s the most practical car ever. My 1st Mk2 Superb was a 2.0 diesel which regularly did 60+mpg on my daily 80 mile commute. My current MK3 Superb is a 2016 280 L&K petrol with 360bhp & 4 wheel drive which I’ve had since 2018. Now I’m retired so I don’t do huge mileages anymore & don’t worry about the fuel consumption so much. That said the current Superb will do 38mpg on a run but around town it’s nearer 28mpg. It’s a marvellous carry-all Q car that will be very hard to replace when the time comes.

    Skoda’s have been great cars for a fair few years now… Great value for money and good performance. Massively underrated in my view. A very fair review Pedro… Thanks

    These are very good,tried a few used examples 11 years ago.
    An estate 1.8 turbo dsg petrol,an estate 2.0 petrol manual and a lift back 2.0 diesel dsg.
    As a cyclist/musician the
    practical/space and touring abilities require a wagon or van.
    I settled on the 1.8 turbo but the dealer would not budge on the price and wanted $2000 NZD to fit a towbar.
    So I found a Honda Accord Euro L 2.4 petrol that had sunroof/leather/etc and towbar with great sound system,only 62Kkm,4 yr old. (Still have it)
    It does pay to shop around and 3-4 year old is good value.

    Enjoyed your video. Many Thanks. Can’t agree with you more; I bought a 6 months’ old Superb SE L diesel dsg estate 150hp with 6 thousand miles on the clock from a Skoda franchised dealer at the beginning of this month. Huge saving as compared to a 40K new Superb with same spec. So far so good and are enjoying the car tremendously. This came with no surprise to me since this is the second Superb I own. The first one was a 2015 Superb Elegance DSG diesel 170bp estate. It gave me 96k miles and 8 years of trouble free travel; mainly on motorways in France and Spain. Had to sell it due to the recent ULEZ expansion and it was a EURO 5 car. The new one is even more enjoyable and impressive. It managed to achieve almost 70 mpg in a recent 120 miles trip on the motorway!! The adaptive cruise control is definitely a joy to use. The standard 18″ wheels with thicker tyre wall make the new Superb even more comfortable to ride than the old one with 19″ wheels and low profile tyres. By the way, I managed to put a full size Pashley gents bike into my old one. Haven’t tried it in the new one yet.

    Another great and informative review. I’m considering swapping my Octavia vrs 245 hatch for a superb sport line plus. I think I’ve just made my mind up. Thanks for the great content.

    Peter the Superb wagon is even more roomy. It is almost the answer to our housing shortage. In Australia the Superb and the Octavia come with a cooled glovebox and centre console. With the aircon on and the cool air turned on it really does keep my beer (German) cold in the Aussie heat. They are great cars let down by inferior dealer support. There are some issues with the cars and it would not be difficult to live with, if you knew that you were not going to have difficulty with a claim for repair. Our Lexus had problems, we arrived at the dealer, they gave us a curtesy car, attended to the issue and called us when it was fixed. They offered to bring the car to us and pick up the curtesy car. Skoda said they would have to make an application to headoffice, and they would get back to me later, in the mean time, that is $2000 and we will bring the car around to the front for you. It took 6 calls, six calls before they honoured the warrantee and they were not very nice about it either.

    Great video. I have the 190bhp diesel l&k, its fantastic car for munching motorway miles, easily 65+mpg and 70+mpg on run. I love the adaptive cruise, cavernous boot and rear seats. One thing that’s worth mentioning is the controls are manual, as in knobs and buttons no touch buttons FTW
