Sadly, my 3.0L/6 speed E46 Touring was recently totaled by another driver's negligence. It was my daddy sports car built in my driveway. The lack of modern wagons and driving in a sea of tall vehicles has pushed me to go the SUV route, this time around. Nothing big, just an X3, but it won't be the same. Thank you for championing the wagon. I share all of your wagon content with the E46 Touring group I've been a part of for the last decade.

Jonny great review on the Skoda Superb 4x4 wagon, when was last in the UK in 2012 visiting my hoard of cousins in N.I. England and Scotland , i left the Newcastle area where i spent my last night on the ocean shooting the full moon, in the morning was picked up by a car i hired the night before to get to the Newcastle airport and it was a Skoda Wagon and was taken by surprise at how big it was outside and inside , it was a diesel , yet you could barely tell it was so quiet and we held a conversation at 70 mph on the motorway, i thought it was a much better car than the Passat that we get in Canada, I say yes Skoda push the button and make this happen for the 2025 model year build 500 cars and you'll sell everyone of them even with the 18k in special upgraded performance parts that are all bolt on, the crime of the whole thing is Jonny we can't get a beast of a wagon like this in Canada unless you have it built custom and it would cost twice as much to do it, simply thats what they would charge you, they're greedy bastards here, love the wagon 👍

Greetings from an certified American knob here: my first car was a Subaru G10 4x4 Wagon, fully optioned and ticking out approximately 68bhp at full spin. I 've always loved wagons(estate) and sleepers and to have 2 in 1 is a win. Pick any wash and wear wagon and tune it to a perfect balance of power, handling, comfort and reliability and tone the exterior down....... Red lights are a walk away peep show with nothing but red tailights to leave an impression. I'm with you on the SUV madness - why? Most don't drive well and are terrible on gas and maintenance. A good town and country 4x4 has it's place but not as a daily driver. Americans (and the world it seems) have ditched wagons and sensible 5 doors for stupid slabs of nothingness. I would LOVE to be able to have something like this in the US but no.......another great post sir - keep 'em coming!

I've had a MkIV Supra, two E39 M5's, R35 from first month of production, and an F430 cabrio. I think this thing looks brilliant inside and out. If I move back to Europe I'm having one of these.

I'm a long term Skoda Estate fan. Please build this.❤

[@johnhaffenden9576]

I understand that Skoda will not be building these, but that Ricky at RE Performance is thinking about doing it himself, great Vlog,

[@Ro32da72]

What a stunning car. Even more though, hats off to Skoda for having it built, in an era where we're having dull washing machine cars stuffed down our throats, Skoda says 'balls to that, let's build a mad one'. Jonny, one thing (of many) that keeps me coming back to this channel is your true enthusiasm for such a wide variety of cars; it comes across loud and clear. Props also to the production folks (again), your hard work is noticed 👏 🎉 Build it Skoda 🙏 please. I can't afford one but I can be happy knowing it exists 👍

I really wanted one of these 18 months ago but couldn't find an estate within budget. I ended up with the Octavia VRS 245. A few subtle mods took it to 300BHP. It's a fantastic car and I'm so happy I ended up with it but I still have an itch for the Superb and AWD one day.

If I see a car I have never seen, I have to learn about it. When I was a kid my dad could point out any car and tell you the year. When I got older I got good at naming every car on the highway going the other way. Just car guys doin car things lol From Toronto Canada, never seen a real life skoda yet but still watching for one lol

[@krithikcs3234]

Mate this an interesting car and nicely reviewed.

[@philtucker1224]

Just returned from Pragua, Skoda and VW wagons are the most popular cars there. Really nice cars.

[@eaglestrikes1]

Yes Skoda make it. What a car, what a video, I really enjoyed watching thank you

[@brianbarry5916]

YES Skoda, please build it. This car is a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. Reminds me of a 90’s Golf VR6.. it looked like a regular golf with nice set of Alloy’s and didn’t shout about the 2.9L under the bonnet. Understated & Classy, I’d buy one in a heartbeat..

[@billyskoda6839]

Im running a 340bhp ish sportline plus.. with brake upgrades. After 3 generations of octavia vrs, the superb was a huge leap forward.

[@Tom-rh6ep]

Yes Skoda, make it. Reminds me of the Passat W8 and early Audi S6. Some people want to have performance and don't want others to know about it. No flared arches, big grills, huge wheels & exhausts. I'd love one of these.

[@Ganderz]

100% WOULD HAVE!!! absolutely love an estate especially a VAG group one!

[@ritvayt]

Yes, Skoda, build it please! Also for left hand drive! 😄 I think this form is way better than the new one! And all this mods serv the best purpose! Love it! ❤️
