@James Harper I am 6'3'' with long legs, slim body. I find the seats quite comfortable, but they are on the firm side in comparison to the previous Superb model we had with leather seats. I liked those more, they were more supportive and cushioned. Due to electric lumbar adjustment, I never have back problems. It is best if you testdrive it yourself! If I had to rate them, I would give them 7/10 points.

Had a 67 plate 190 diesel dsg version and i loved it. I had prev a BMW 320d and i can say the Skoda was miles ahead with almost every aspect. The beemur was really set for left hand drive and the conversion to our side left the peddles at a strange angle and the seating position was weird. Also the seats were thin and worst of all the rear seats did not fold down , WTF. The Superb solved all my probs and was a great car. Soo much so i now have the new Octavia 2021 VRS due to the brands reliability and my local dealer being really helpful. No brainer , stylish , great mpg and the best load lugger in the category

The 3.6 (which I once drove as a fleet car) was a rocket ship! Fast, planted to the tarmac and as thirsty as a wanderer in the desert! Great car though.

I feel like Skoda's still easily one of the most underrated car brands, with the Superb arguably branching over into the premium segment. It's an imposing, elegant looking vehicle, with lots, and LOTS of space and a quality-made and looking/feeling interior. While it's not quite as playful interior-wise as its competition (namely MB and BMW), the exterior (imo) sticks out more than the comparable Audi A6, and definitely the A4 and 5 5-door version. The only thing holding the brand back, is the stigma it retained from its earlier days. But Skoda's making big strides into the right direction, and I've had people literally drop their jaws when they got into my 2016 Superb (or popped the trunk, and mind you, I have the sedan, not the estate!).

I remember getting in a Skoda in the Kiev (Ukraine) in the 90s, absolutely stunk of petrol and there was no option to wind down the back windows. They certainly have come along way in 25 years! Great car.

I’m in Australia & bought the 2017 Superb 206 KW/ 276HP, 4WD Sportline! I’ve had BMW, Merc GLC & this is by far the best car I’ve ever owned & driven. I did test drive it against the Passat at the time & the Skoda was way better value overall in most aspects!👍🏼🇦🇺😎

Good job as always 👍 and great content. This car is so under the radar, and much more value money than a Passat. One thing always interested me in it is that you can find SH models with the same running gear as the Golf R.

Great review mate .bought my skoda superb on the strength of your review. Have it over a year now .Great car very practical with some lovely features. I recommend to anyone I talk to if they are going to buy a car check out your reviews. 👏👏

I had the older model Saloon for about 3 years, amazing and comfortable motor - The rear hatch on the Mk2 was pretty clever too (check for vids). Have moved to another Skoda Kodiaq, was so impressed with the Skoda brand.

Another great video! I have the 272bhp Sportline version and it is a great Q-car (especially in undercoat grey). Many of my friends have been blown away at how good it is, and they drive Lexus, Audi, BMW etc.

I've just watched this again as I'm looking for a big estate car, something a bit bigger than my Audi B7 Avant. Seriously tempted by these. Great review as always 👍

I drove one of these for a couple of years on a lease. Cracking car. Far superior as a load carrier and in fuel economy terms than my current Volvo V90.

I had one of these with the same engine. Superb in every way! Fabulous space in the boot/back, great to drive and cheap to run. Best car I ever owned.

Been in a few of these as Taxi’s in Europe- the rear seat space is massive and they are very comfortable- exactly what you need. Good motors.

It’s a steal second hand for all the car you’re getting Matt. I love how practical your advice always is with no badge snobbery like so many others doing these reviews.

Got a real soft spot for these, think they look fantastic and it is incredible to think how far Skoda has come in a relatively short space of time - would happily own one if it was not for them sharing the VAG engines, no faith in them. But it is a damned handsome car and the boot space is incredible (even for a large estate car). The Superb saloon is also a very good looking car.

I had one for a day as a courtesy car, 2018 1.5 TSI DSG Estate and absolutely loved it. Refinement, ride quality, performance, everything exceeded expectations. Great looking in dark grey too.

Drove that one for 2 weeks. So smooth and comfortable. The boot is huge and could not fault it. Just as long as it has memory seats.

Another great video, and what a beautiful colour, Skoda are doing a great job 👍

I’ve just bought the 2016 hatch diesel 2L in L&K trim. Lovely car to drive, I’m 77 and my wife has ms so I keep it in comfort mode . I had an A6 Avant until last year, but thought I should come down in size and Got merc. estate , I hated the controls, and that it always seemed to think about accelerating from standstill. Or the internal space. I went back to Audi but the A4 , once again I felt cramped inside. After some research and reading owner’s reviews I decided on the superb hatchback (I fancied the estate but was doubtful about 4wheel drive) I love the Superb , it’s such a pleasure to drive and support everything I reviewers have said about them !

Lovely car , I remember your review of a older model saloon a while back and how highly you rated it.

Your stuff is only getting better can’t wait for more high performance VAG car videos from you, I really want a B7 RS4 Avant in Grey but very rare and the Mk1 Rs3 is always a Winner providing it hasn’t been nicked and crashed! Haha

That's a car I genuinely love. The exterior is stylish without being too brash. The interior has a genuine air of quality and has a minimalist look to it. I hate "Button fest" interiors and the Superb has everything you need and no more. Top marks to Skoda for this lovely car and this was an excellent review.

I've hired low mileage 2.0d Superbs a few times in the past 4 years. Very good build quality; low cabin noise; plenty quick; don't feel big when you're driving or parallel parking them. Most of those trips were leaving Prague and galloping on the German autobahns where good brakes are more important that fast acceleration. Its brakes are up to the task. It will happily cruise at 180kph all day and return ≤5.5L / 100km. "Skoda" means "pity" in Czech ( as in "it's a pity" ), but Czechs love them, and the Superb has plenty of cache. My current car 8s a tram, but if I need 4 wheels, I hire a Superb. They're .., excellent !

Another great review.Keep 'em coming.

Wonderful vehicles these. My uncle is now on his third one as a company car. He had a 2012 2.0 TDI 170 Elegance manual, a 2015 (current shape) 2.0 TDI 150 SE L Executive manual, and now he has a 2019 1.5 TSI SE L Executive with the DSG gearbox. He absolutely loves the comfort and space they offer for the motorway mileage he covers (in a pre covid world, not being used much at the moment!) I love them though, brilliant overall package.

Great review man👍

just typed a long comment about my 4 years of Mk2 Superb estate ownership but I deleted it by accident!! Great cars but I can't wait to swap it for another Rangerover lol - you'll appreciate that! Keep it up

Another great review - keep them coming..!

I have a Yeti Monte Carlo with the same engine as that Superb. Best car I have owned and the most reliable too over the 4 years I have owned it. It is cheap to run and can go for huge distances with the 60 litre tank, it has a very tight turning circle and is very practical. I did briefly look at the Octavia/Superb as I had owned a Mondeo previously, but decided on something smaller....and no regrets. Good review of the Superb too.

Great timely video Matt! Just about to order a new 1.4 Phev. It’s looks really good and should be economical.

Volkswagen's poor relation, no longer. Beautiful car with practicality, spec,reliability and space. Great video with real life review and information.

Bought a 2019 272 L&K estate nearly 3yrs ago and it has been fantastic at all the family duties we’ve thrown at it since. Couple of issues fixed under warranty without hassle, but nothing compared to the endless weekly problems from my last ML450. That thing loved shopping so much it just couldn’t pass the dealer without popping in to buy something new for itself. The Superb has been a very refreshing change and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes left field cars and doesn’t want a modern diesel.

Fantastic motor! I've had 3 Octavia VRS diesels over the years and drive a Kodiak diesel at work (it gets a hard life too) and they've all been utterly reliable, comfortable and brilliant at doing everything I've asked of them! Can't really fault the Skoda brand these days!

Love my Superb estste it has hauled the family to and from Cornwall over the years and a perfect journey to deploy the adaptive cruise 😁

Can't really go wrong with any Skoda in terms of reliability and build quality. I like everything about the Superb, just enjoy driving something as good as a Beamer or a Merc, at a fraction of the cost.👍

Very good review, I often wondered about the Superb although the Octavia size wise might be better but the equipment might well persuade me to go Superb!

Well done for the review one more time! Perfectly explained and a nice car of course. Would you mind making a video about Honda FR-V? Cheers...

It’s quite funny watching your uploads because i was selling car or have been in the motor industry for circa 30 years, it’s good to know that things are still the same, car sales are still the same and we are thought of as something brown and quite repulsive on the bottom of shoes. But it is a great industry and worth all the effort, even if it does make you miserable everyday! Good work pal and it’s fun to watch you especially when you moan about the trade.

I have a 2.0 Diesel Superb 6speed manual from the company as well, when the lease is over I'll buy it privately since it is such a good car. At the moment it has 73.000km's in 2,5 years. Perfect for long trips/long travels for weeks.

I bought a 2017 SE-L executive last year, £12k with 60,000 on the clock. It's absolutely excellent, in petrol blue with a cream interior, I think it's a really classy car. It's surprisingly close to E Class, 5 series or A6 in terms of quality, for way less money. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, it's a perfect family car, with acres of space; legroom is ridiculous, I'm 6 foot 5 and I can fit comfortably in the back, even with the drivers seat set for me. If they're still making them in 5 years of so (probably in electric form) I could see it being replaced by another.

I've wanted one of these since they came out and saw the car wow review. Its the perfect car

I have an Octavia estate 2010 with the 1.4L petrol engine, 82000 miles and I have loaded the car on many occasions with no problems with lack of power. Anyone that has driven the car thinks it is a 2.0L. The engine is still strong and an absolute gem. The Superb will be perfect with this engine ,in my opinion, as the newer 1.4L has a higher BHP.

I love this car as a daily driver

I’ve been lucky enough to be on my 2nd Suberp. I’ve had all the top marques as company cars and the Skoda has been my favourite, it eats the miles on a motorway and averages around 66mpg, around town it’s about 55, and it’s so comfy. And neither has had a single fault in 5 years, just routine services.
