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

[@JonathanHarrison-u2u]

I’m a taxi driver & I’ve driven a BMW 520d/ Mercedes 220d E Class. The car which I drive now is a 2 litre SE L Estate 150 bhp & it is the best car I’ve ever owned, I do a lot of long distance driving & it is so comfortable & quiet. I would really recommend it to anyone.

[@gortonlad62]

Just traded my 22 reg BMW 520d M Sport for a 73 reg Suberb 2k on the clock for £28,250. The Skoda is a better car. The BMW broke down twice and BMW couldn't tell me what went wrong!

[@colingoode3702]

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.

[@Cs.rogers24]

Got a 6 month old 280tsi 4x4 in 2018 and it has been rock solid. Buckets of space, comfortable, has all the toys I need, including heated windscreen. Doesn't have the adaptable suspension but the sport line set up is very good. Its fair to say there's more fuel-efficient cars out there but it's not expensive to run. It's definitely designed as a cruiser but will get up and go if needed. I keep thinking of changing it for something shorter for parking in town, but actually at the minute I feel I'd only be disappointed in anything else.

[@cfagil]

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.

[@PetrolPed]

Sounds great 👍

[@dangreasley7934]

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

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Dan 👍

[@johnbrown3951]

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.

[@m3djc]

Definitely. I have that model superb. Parcel shelf out seats down bike will fit. I've had my mountain bike in with no problem

[@PetrolPed]

Yeah. I lacked commitment 😂

[@TheAllyMor]

You need a dropper post!

[@ChrisEllis-ci5qg]

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

[@alexk.7250]

@@TheAllyMorIt's a single screw or even better on my bike it's a lever. You can open and close it within seconds. This was just a poor demonstration. I would have fitted two bikes easily without removing the wheels. Two can be fitted with the front wheel removed and only one seat dropped instead of all shown in the video.

[@shikiryougi8076]

I've got the Superb SE L 220 DSG, it's all the power you really need in a FWD, anything more like the 280 then you'll need the AWD. In terms of styling, comfort, power, practicality and reliability, this is really it. Had a few scoff at the badge but whatever, for the price I got it, this goes onto the motorway confidently and comfortably, and any long distance driving is just all that easier with the adaptive cruise control and auto hold system. The boot can store several bodies at a time with space in the back for your passengers.

[@ianleckey9044]

I have a 2017 Skoda Superb SE Technology Estate 2L 150 BHP diesel, brilliant motor has everything you need and wow the boot is enormous. Lovely to drive and easy on the juice. Very pleased with it. 😎👍

[@beaker656]

I'm 6'4" with a XL framed hybrid bike and I can fit mine in the boot (wheels on, seat in place) with the seats down and parcel shelf removed. You can put the parcel shelf propped up behind the front seats. Fantastic car in Dragon Green

[@solentbum]

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.

[@slcsystems]

The name dates back a very long time for Skoda when they had a limousine with its name.

[@peterdimblad4832]

We have done just that, ordered a stock Superb iv estate - the plug in hybrid version, identical under the skin to my VW Arteon hybrid which replaces my wife’s Kamiq Monte Carlo. As you said, a lot of car for the money!

[@guylambrechts2303]

Good proposition indeed. Instead of an Audi a Skoda needs to be practical end well thought out. Love the design of the Audis but if you have to put down well earned cash the Skoda is the way to go.

[@RocketEightEight]

I have a pre-facelift 2019 Superb 1.6 TDi with 120 HP. Enough for me, doesn't feel slow at all. It feels like an upgrade in comparison with my old Avensis which was faster on paper.

[@andrewgibbs5096]

Buying an outgoing model really worked for my Dad. He bought a Peugeot 405 STi by sealed bid. When it arrived the mileage in the description was 7,200. The car had actually done 2,700 miles. It was on one of Peugeots directiors fleet.

[@RTPeat]

The saloon shape with a hatch back was one of the useful features on the mark 2 Superb we had the size of the hatch was such that you often didn’t need all of the access space, but on that with the TwinDoor mechanism you could open just the boot part, or open the full hatch - the newer version it seems slightly pointless. Having run a mark 2 for about a decade when our kids were small, it definitely is great as a family car, we did over 100,000 in ours with lots of long trips - plenty of space for the kids and all the luggage.

[@davidwhiteman4649]

Any reviewer who is self deprecating enough to say “That’s because I’m abnormal” gets my vote. Great video, as always.

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@johnrice2198]

Hi I’ve got a 66 plate 190 DSG Sportsline hatch and i love it. Bought it at 7 months old and love it. Fuel is good can get 50+ watching what im doing going to work. 42 if im late LOL Only drawback is that its a bit low for getting in and out. But apart from that its been great.

[@peterclark8327]

Excellent video Ped. I’ve always admired Skoda as a brand, I had one of the early Octavia’s back in 1999, a 20v 5 cylinder, loved that car. Your review had me straight on Autotrader afterwards looking at Skoda Superbs, although I couldn’t find any brand new £33k cars you referenced. In respect of the bike, I would have dropped the seat rather than remove the wheels. Keep up with the great content.

[@paulfenner1867]

Drove my superb 4x4 from Scotland to Malaga and back in January fantastic car 50mpg and so comfortable

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice!

[@panman1964]

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)

[@panman1964]

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

[@PetrolPed]

Love this 👍

[@scottyab]

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

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice!

[@chrisslaterwalker]

Our "other" car is a 2013 Superb estate 1.8t 4WD. 120k miles and, regularly serviced, still going strong. It's big enough for 1 person to sleep in, which I do on my occasional jaunts into the countryside. I'd really like a new one though!

[@raymondhunt6109]

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.

[@steveaustin9386]

In New Zealand a new 2024 Superb estate 2.0 TSI 4x4 206KW Sportline with every extra you can think of including heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, panoramic sunroof costs less than 35K, pounds sterling.

[@mrgrumpy771]

I have a 2020 Octavia with the same engine as this Superb so its MPG is 57-60 on a run and mid 40s around town. Both amazing really. The infotainment is definitely gen 1 and despite updates remains pretty poor. It works but I understand the new versions coming in now are way better. Lovely cars - never had a problem with them (this is my second)

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@H20-Paul]

My Bianchi goes in with the parcel shelf out and I've got gibbon legs so have a high saddle too. On my second Superb Estate, I now have the Sportline 4x4 190bhp diesel. I find it struggles a bit off the line, bogging down a tad if you want to get out onto a busy roundabout. I think this is the AWD (?) as my last 170bhp Superb Estate didn't suffer with this. I do Belgium and back in a day a couple of times a year and no problems at all. Recently bought a mid life crisis Jaguar F Type and although that is great, it makes you realise what an fantastic car the Superb is.

[@BĹİŤŻżẒ̌88]

Tried giving it a stage 1 tune?

[@simonalexandercritchley439]

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.

[@zzhughesd]

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 !!!!

[@Monkeynervepete]

After four years back in the motor trade I left it last year, thank God! Took a new job over in Bristol that means a 42 mile, each way, commute from home in South Wales. Needed a new car. Something extremely comfortable, reasonably fast, with adaptive cruise. No brainer. Skoda Superb. Bought a 16 plate Business SE 2.0tdi 150. It was a car that blew me away whilst in the motor trade. In terms of value there's nothing to touch it. Had mine a couple of months now and still get a buzz from driving it effortlessly through rainy rush hours sipping a Lavazza. It's up there with the Audi A6, BMW 5 and Merc E for less than Passat money. ❤

[@dutoitm1]

It's a great car but it simlply is not up there with an A6 or 5 series. Especially if you begin to consider engine refinement with 6 cylinders.

[@Monkeynervepete]

@dutoitm1 Depends on what you're looking for. In my last auto trade job I was driving mainly "big Germans" all over the UK, costing many times more than the Superb. I wouldn't pay the massive difference for the small uplift in refinement.

[@neilhollands4863]

We brought a Superb Estate with the DSG gearbox 1.5 TSI engine. Brought it in 2021 for just over 22k had only done 1500 miles. It does the lot. Comfortable,the 1.5 engine is a peach. You can see why it’s used in all the VW group cars. The space inside is cavernous. We plan on keeping for a very long time. It’s Superb. 😉

[@dutoitm1]

​@@Monkeynervepetethat's fair, I had a Superb for a while and used that exact thought process at the time. But as I said, it isn't a patch on overall refinement of an A6 or 5series, regardless of whether you consider the price justified or not. I personally believe it to be very much justified, especially when buying used.

[@PetrolPed]

Love this 👍

[@paultrussy]

I had two Merc E class estates prior to my Superb SEL Exec. The Mercs' boot space was/is 100mm wider but the Superb's is much easier to use and has more height. My Superb is nearly 10 years old and cost me £13k two years ago but delivers everything I need and looks like new except for a few minor scuffs upfront and wheels that could do with a refurb. Simply no point in paying more. Serviced well these cars will last a very long time.

[@johns14a]

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

[@PetrolPed]

Absolutely 👍

[@HQBProductions]

Hello Peter! A friend had a 170 bhp Estate version running up 160,000 miles when he sold it “before something goes wrong”! He was delighted with the size, comfort,practicality and reliability. I recall him saying that 60+ mpg was just normal daily experience so that Press car sounds a bit thirsty. Bought at the right price, it really is a “Superb” car!! 🙂🙂🙂🫢😬😃Richard

[@Redmi-j4i]

I just bought this exact car - just different color 😊 - I love it so much that my wife is driving my Octavia RS even I bought Super for her. I drove Skodas all my life - I started in a Felicia 1.3 GLX- and I wouldt change the badge for anything else

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice!

[@Redmi-j4i]

@@PetrolPed yes I'm a Škoda man 🙂 Hello from Slovenia. I love your videos and how you use your bike to measure the boot space. 😆

[@stokeparker6653]

We have two Superbs in the family, estate and hatchback. I love driving them, but parking can be tricky as they are big cars. I can't see myself driving anything else, because each time I consider changing, I cannot find anything nearly as good for a similar price - or even quite a bit more. Skoda have got a lot more expensive though, so not the kind of incredible value they were. Still probably better value than any other brand though.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MrSonicAdvance]

I think they're a bit big and stodgy compared to the Octavia. The 4x4 Sportline is the most interesting for me, but they you pay a heavy penalty on fuel consumption. I would pick the Octavia, unless I really HAD to have the extra legroom in the back. (Which is why I bought an Octavia). The DCC option on the Superb improves the driver experience, as you can stiffen up the suspension for sporty driving and then relax it for day to day comfort. But if you just want a comfortable, roomy car to waft around in, the Superb is, well superb.

[@cliftonmcintosh6193]

Octavia V R S is the one for me pp I had one for 4 years and loved it 😊

[@murrieteacher]

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.

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@DM-MayBee]

Great review and very solid advice on buying methodology !!! .......... I like it very much, well done PP.

[@PetrolPed]

Much appreciated!

[@kevincross9206]

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.

[@daveshaw4263]

I have the Kodiak TSI 150PS, for 98% of the time the power is perfectly adequate, sure, on the very odd occasion I so wish I had some more power but the permanent lower running costs far outweigh the very occasional need for more poke.

[@starrysunny5537]

I have the exact same superb in India. The only difference here in India is the design in alloy wheels & no drive modes for sportline model. I absolutely love this car with the race blue paint.

[@PetrolPed]

Totally agree 👍

[@robertmackenzie5850]

at 41k this falls into the £500 plus road tax Dealers are having trouble selling ice cars or hybrids over 40k because of the high road tax I do think it’s unfair that a 2 ton 60k electric car is still exempt from this charge .

[@MCJC96]

Most mid size plus cars are now falling into this price bracket. Government are raking it in. They need to up the threshold to as you say 60k now. Inflation being a big factor

[@Lovetone1983]

Got a 23 plate Sportline Plus hatch as new (everything still in the celophane) with about 800 dealer miles on. Love the car, as is stated many times over a brilliant pracitical family car, all the space in the world. Apple play convenience, enough poke in the 2L petrol and very refined. Just a super relaxing place to be and perfect for long journeys. Not a better car for the money - mine was a shade under £30k (list is over £42k). The outgoing Sportline has better looks to me than the new SE L models. I imagine a sportline style might come but Im not gonna be ponying up over £45k which I imagine it would list for.... For reference Ive had three Octy vRS in the past so I appreciate the brand.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@Oz1965Gaz]

Never again will I complain about our car market here in Australia. A new Superb 206Tsi 4wd Sportline Wagon costs around $AUD70k (35k GBP?), yet as standard comes with most "options" ticked, including adaptive suspension, 3-zone climate, keyless entry, spare wheel, rear camera, blind spot monitoring, auto parking, adaptive cruise control etc. In fact the only model Superb you can buy in Australia is the 206kW 4x4 version, either Wagon or Sedan. Previously the 2.0l 162kW FWD version was also available. We are not getting the new Superb until 2025.

[@PetrolPed]

Wow 😮

Should i get one of these or a toyota camry to use for my next taxi doing 50k miles per year?

[@richardboam407]

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.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad it was helpful 👍

[@lumajs]

LOL, the name Superb was first picked by Škoda (then unified with Škoda in Pilsen which was larger!) in the 1930s and it only meant that it was the most expensive model range in the Škoda's portfolio, there was really no ambition to compare the car to the other companies' cars. But don't get me wrong, if you compare it, it just happens to be an OK name.

[@anthonyfinch4401]

Another great review! I got put off Skoda when I have a Fabia curtesy car back in 2018. It had a horrible bouncy ride and terrible interior. Although this looks another level of quality and ride. So maybe they have all been improved. With you on the nearly new purchasing. Saved a huge amount of money buying my Civic ex demo on a 72 plate in Jan. Also if you go ex demo you can sometimes get some expensive options in on the cheaper price that you'd probably never pay for on a brand new one.

[@PetrolPed]

Give one a go 👍

[@itsmikedev]

I definitely recommend test driving an Octavia/Superb. The Fabia is their budget model, and the ride quality is one of the main things sacrificed to achieve that (and of course interior quality). The Octavia and Superb are much smoother, and the difference in the interior is night and day. The newest generation Fabia is definitely an improvement, and still beats other mini-hatchbacks out there for its intended audience, but still doesn't compare to the higher models.

[@VintageLynx]

I wonder if the ride quality and interior of the Fabia dropped over time? Our family runs a pair of 2005 Fabias and the sweet ride quality and interior is what keeps us holding onto them.

[@itsmikedev]

@VintageLynx I always felt like it was the opposite and they were getting better - although I'm probably slightly biased because my 2008 Fabia is the S trim, so it's extremely dull. It is pretty crazy that you can factory order a 2024 Fabia SE trim, and it'll still have the manual winding windows it the rear. I thought those were a thing of the past years ago

[@VintageLynx]

@@itsmikedev yes I thought so too. Just the original comment mentioned bouncy ride and poor interior in a model 13 years newer than my Fabia - which definitely doesn't have such ride quality. It's sold and firm. Maybe because its got the heft of a 1.9 turbo diesel rather than 3 cylinder. But I've never tried the later models. Something for me to do. I'm interested to compare.

[@JanMorsø]

My first Robin Reliant was superb, unlike my GPz900's, it had a floor to put speakers on, and windscreen wipers. I drove it to Skye about 8 times, slowly. It was a much, of more fun than the Nissan SX200, seven hour blast, TBH. It's all relative, but I prefer visceral.

Sportline Plus is an odd car. Its basically a Superb SE which has been kitted with Sportline livery; seats steering wheel etc. I'm on my fourth Superb; all estates. I had a Sportline 190ps DSG..It was ok. Quite harsh on the roads with 19" wheels. My last two cars have been the SE L 150ps TSI DSG. I think this is much more typical of Superbs spec and interior. My last buy was in 2022 and I bought new, mainly because of the Covid effect which dramatically increased trade in values and made it a very good time to change. I dont like the interior of the new model including the big screen and the dials setup. Ill.probably keep my current car for a long time as I'm retired now and mileage is not high. Ive had mercs and BMW in the past. I think thd Superb is the best car Ive ever owned.

[@Zoranurai13]

The only thing that can elevate the superb to new heights is rear wheel steering, as its kinda massive

[@andrew-o5i]

had 3 vrs octavias then same superb as yours , sportline plus but with the 276 4x4 and wow did it go , sold my 3tlr bmw 630 m sport and bought the superb , much fast than the bmw , the ultimate sleeper , at just over 5 seconds not much can get away from it and with the 4x4 it never spins even in the wet ..... did love it but wife wanted a small car so exchanged for brand new karoq sportline 1.5 dsg . the 1.5 is still nice its not fast but not slow either . its perfect for karoq as not a big car ... another fact the superb always seems massive to the octavia but its only 80 or 100 kg m in weight ... i bought the bmw 630d grand turismo new from bmw and in 1 year of owning had to go back 4 times , the superb had for 2 years and had to take back once , glove box would not close properly ................ yes i recommend ... mine was meator grey which looked nice ,

I considered one but I found an x3 30d for similar money and its a much nicer car with a proper engine, found the high spec superbs too expensive (this was for an outright purchase, I would imagine skoda are quite a lot better on monthlies when bought new)

[@jonplumtree2339]

Nice to see a Bianchi equipped with Campag👌

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@carlos-ek5de]

lower the saddle would be easier than wheel removal

[@PetrolPed]

Bike fitted very precisely so don’t like moving it. Dropping post would scratch the carbon. Taking it out only done when flying as the battery for the gears is in the post 👍

[@stevenbennett3922]

I had a 2.0ltr diesel hatch and the only problem was the pick up when pulling away. Not at all impressive.

[@rob19632]

Most people aren't 6 Foot 3, but I am and I have to take the wheels off to get my 62cm trek in my Kia Optima estate

[@iliesrazvan828]

Skoda superb is just superb and as a long time Octavia fan that I just switched to Superb I can affirm that is on a different level than the whole Skoda line-up (but I did not drive a kodiak ). howevere you got the wrong engine. To suit the potential of the car as a comfy floaty cruiser you need the 280 ps engine paired with the dcc, It won't make a sport car by any means, just a very relating car to drive. Also if possible get one with Canton Sound and tinted windows with sound isolation for a nice atmosphere inside.

How much is a top speck

[@robertbate2991]

Some good deals on nearly new plug in hybrid estates which look tempting

[@PetrolPed]

Definitely!

[@marekkompus6109]

Hey ,,nice video,,,👍,,,,,Does it have DCC ??? Does it work well if you set to comfort mode ??? Please anyone let me know ,,,thank you

[@allyclarke6505]

Rather have the estate, hope you do a review when you can, when the new one, is available…

[@PixelVibe42]

Er... Ped! Never put your bike in lying on the left side if you have disc brakes - it can warp them (even slightly) and I'm sure you'll know that leads to a lot of screeching! I don't have a Skoda, but in my F-Pace I can easily get a bike, rollers, kit bag, medical kit (don't ask!), food ....

[@PetrolPed]

OK. I’ll put it on the right side on top of the 4 grand group set 🤔😂

[@PixelVibe42]

@@PetrolPed I know - choices, choices!! 🤔🚴 Happy cycling!

[@reinmansmith]

Always thought the Superb is excellent value for money and bang for your buck. As you say, this is clearly the moment to grab a bargain if you’re going to keep it for a while 👍

[@igorgo1093]

at the moment on autotrader 2023 , 10000 miles , se technology for £ 22000 , I would go for this one .

[@PetrolPed]

Great choice 👍

[@stevencampbell1150]

I think if i was going for this I'd go diesel as it also has 150ps but has more torque, plus as someone else has said your bike would/should go in with the parcel shekf removed. I agree also in terms of not going for the latest model as my current car is an ex demo car and it's an ex demo car im looking for next tho' the market here in Northern Ireland isn't exactly as plentiful for the car I'm considering.

[@jonathanellis1842]

I can get a road bike in a Skoda Rapid, I am only 167cm tall so it is a 50cm frame and saddle to BB length is a lot less than you. I would buy the new Superb PEV estate if I had the cash.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@robertpawley5715]

Have you considered lowering or removing the saddle of the bike 🚲?

[@PetrolPed]

[@robertpawley5715]

@@PetrolPed understand. Should have gotten a hand built light steel frame like my Xprezo T-19 quite

[@Maurice_Moss]

I'm watching the prices fall atm, I'd consider trading my Leon estate for one, it'd have to be the 2.0 tsi 190 or the IV, otherwise I'd feel too slow as I've got the 1.4 tsi in my Leon.

Cracking boot

[@theelectrichobo829]

I just ordered the new model estate.

[@royed31]

Shame they got rid of the clever spilt hatch / boot

[@ch1d]

Why didn't you take off the boot cover to get your bike in?

[@chrisp4899]

That 1.5 tsi seems to go well

[@PetrolPed]

It does 👍

[@pow1983]

My recommendation would be to measure the boot in various places. Innevitably with newer models you always seem to lose space to health & safety. I still remember putting my whole arm completely straight into the glove compartment in my very first corsa and 2lt bottles of water were no problem in the door bins. Now You're lucky to fit gloves in the glove compartment or a 500ml bottle of water in the door.

[@MiniEggs1999]

When you get the new one please try the full fandango L&K estate with 265hp 4x4 and let me know what you don’t like about it and given it’s price how close it gets to a premium brand

[@PetrolPed]

Will do 👍

[@TsLeng]

Imagine a big golf r with bit less power. Can be cured with a tune. I am happily driving my 2016 280ps 4x4.
