Skoda Superb, wow.

Put aside how it looks for a minute, I couldn't believe the spec on the Elagance, wanting for nothing at under €29K. That's unbelievable, now to find a way...

And that last photo doesn't do the car justice. It was probably taken with the front seats the furthest back. I had a look in one today in the dealer and the leg space in the back is comparable to a Merc S-class or BMW 7-series.

I actually don't know how Skoda managed to design this thing! More leg room than a long wheelbase Jaguar XJ (according to Parker's) and the biggest boot - well, pretty much ever. And yet, it's no longer than a 5 series. It just doesn't add up!

Best of luck with the new car. I know not the best looking from the back but there are some nice details. I personally like it. Would be the perfect car for a long commute.

Fine car, looks big and imposing. Id have it over a passat any day.

The dual opening boot is what swong it for me. We almost went with the Opel Insignia 160PS but the boot in the Superb and all the extras won me over. That and it was 4500 euro cheaper than the Opel.

It's not 4500 cheaper if you go for a more comparable engine in the Superb. More like around 2k or there abouts. You get more space and park assist in the Superb, and you get a nicer interior and better driving dynamics in the Insignia. So there's more to think about than a dual boot, which, if I chose a hatch-back Insignia, I wouldn't ever miss. You'd swear that Skoda are after bringing out a Bently Continental GT for €12,000 the way some people are reacting! It's a comfortable, well-spec'd car for an excellent price, but lets not get carried away here!

The estate is much better looking but the saloon is still fantastic. OP, did you get it with DSG? Manual in that thing would be a travesty!

Damn, dont ya hate it when you buy a car without looking?:rolleyes: Cause it sounds like thats what you mean. Im sure he actually looked at the thing before buying. Whisht about it being ugly or not. Opinions arent fact. And thats fact and my opinion:cool:

I have to say i don't think it looks that bad, i quite like it actually. I'm not saying it looks amazing or anything, but just that it's not as bad as people are making out.

colm_mcm

that trim looks better in real life , but there's a load of colours and textures going on there.

The surround detail on the multifunction thing in the first pic looks like the quality of a 28 grand "luxury" car.

picking up my 170PS Superb Elegance this week - it's not a bad looking car in fairness. But yes the spec if off the charts. The equiv in an A4 or Passat would be between 40k and 50k euro.

Meh, The Prius had that in 2004....

yeh has anyone experienced this? i hear there's a similar system in some Lexus models?

Used it in the Prius years ago and it was such a novelty, dunno how often you'd actually use it though.

Used it on the Lexus LS600h and it's definitely useful on a car that size. Dunno how Top Gear managed to crash theirs into a wall when reversing

Yeah, I dont think it looks bad. Id change it if I had the chance but Im always like that with cars. But if I had the money Id get the estate which I really like the look of so I wouldnt be struggling with me ugly arse. . . When im in the car. da dum tish . . .

Even if they got rid of those lights on the boot door it'd look so much better, as it is they don't quite match up.

The rear of the estate isnt tha bad

Stevie Dakota

Pity the rear end is just so ugly, but I guess if they made it anyway good looking Audi and VW would have been in real trouble. You can't have it all as they say.

Even the Greenline model has a nice amount of kit.

I think VW deliberately made the styling horrible in places (rear lights especially) so as not to compete with their other products.

i will own one of these...but because i'm poor it will prob be in 3 years time.would love one now.
