Skoda Superb 1.8 20v Turbo Saloon

...taxi driver’s new dream car!) Skoda have now taken off the gloves and are preparing to slug it out with the big boys like BMW and Mercedes with the recent release of their new car in the “luxury/executive” market, the (very modestly named) Superb. ~ ~ If there is anyone out there who still thinks that Skoda are still a second rate Czech car manufacturer and the butt of bar room jokes, then the ‘Superb’ will very quickly ...
...But the entry of the Skoda Superb into this market sector now gives a prospective buyer a third option. The Superb is without question a quality motorcar, which has all the ‘bells and whistles’ that you could possibly wish for, and at a price that, while by no means cheap, will make much of the competition sit up and take notice. And if the resale values of Skoda’s other models like the Fabia and the Octavia, are anything to go ...

Review of Skoda Superb 1.8 20v Turbo Saloon

...to my review for the Skoda Superb 1.820v T. If you're wondering why i am able to write reviews on so many different cars, its simple...... I've worked in the Car auction and Car hire business, so have driven too many cars to mention. Ciao suggests being factual, so i'll use headings, and be as easy to understand as possible. Reliability Although this is a relatively new model, I have seen and driven a few with 'spaceship miles' on then (100k ...
...the flagship model of the Skoda range, and built to challenge the Merc C/E class and BMW 3/5 series, the Superb is stuffed to the gunnels with standard safety features-ABS, EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), traction control and more airbags than you could shake a stick at! Spaciousness Skoda have been quoted as saying the superb has up to 1400mm of legroom front and rear, and i can believe this! Sometimes it feels like you should telephone ...

Review of Skoda Superb 1.8 20v Turbo Saloon

...when you hear the name skoda you think of some russian yocals nailing together some old tin buckets containing lawnmower engines. : some of the trim levels, if you buy a new one out of the box you'd better have ordered the leather! otherwise you could be looking at a cloth trim that wouldn't look out of place in a 1990 vauxhall astra. now to the praise, the cost; you have to ask yourself this 'how much is the passat 1.8t 20v' the answer to that ...
...at the price of a skoda superb 20v turbo( the same car but with different badges on) with the toys, £15000! bargain i think you'd agree. with extra £2000 you could buy me a pint. equipment levels; as you'd expect from vw all the usual suspects are here, power windows, electric mirrors, electric sunroof(option),heated seats(with the winter pack)and lots of other knobs to twiddle and fiddle with. the truth is that i could go on forever but i wont, ...

Review of Skoda Superb 1.8 20v Turbo Saloon

I love my car.What more can I say. Having graduated from the Fabia this feels like driving around in an armchair. At first I was terrified of driving it because I am a bit short and worried about the size of it. Its ease of handling combined with rear parking sensors make it easy enough to drive round city centre's and park. It comes into its own on motorways where you can really feel the power under the bonnet and my husband has the speeding ticket ...
...usual with most skodas the interior styling leaves a bit to be desired and the seats could be a bit more comfy, it also is a bit heavy on fuel consumption but that is only to be expected in a car of this size. Otherwise this is "superb" value for money and a great family car with loads of space and easy to drive. ...
