Its the Best in Next Class

1. Bought my Superb TSI L & K from Global Skoda, Kolkata in Aug 2019. In the process of selecting the car I did several test drives and called several times to all the dealers with my doubts and queries. I was a little skeptical about Skoda brand since like you all, I have read enough bad reviews about the dealers and after sales service. But as far as buying experience is concerned, I am thoroughly satisfied. They made me feel special but weren't too pushy with their sale. 2. Riding experience has been excellent. Don't expect it to give you a cushy ride through big potholes or speed breakers but rest assured you won't feel the smaller ones. The steering is light and easy to use in city traffic. Acceleration, specially in Sports mode, is terrific. It will push you against the seat for sure. The drive train is smooth as silk. 3. 'Superb' means 'Stately' in Latin and it looks just that, elegant and stately. The usp of this car is its interior and boot space. You will not find this space even in the next class of cars. Features like hands-free boot opening/closing, park assist, proximity sensors around the car, electronic seat adjustment with personalize settings, ventilated front seats etc makes the car beyond comparison amongst its rivals. Actually Superb has no rival sedan in sub 40 lakh. To utilize and get used to all its features you need to study the manual and see a lot of Youtube videos. I am still learning!! 4. My car is just 2 months old, driven 3000 kms, so I cannot comment on servicing and maintenance. Got an average of 11.5 Kmpl in highways and 6.7 kmpl in city condition. My earlier car Civic used to give similar mileage so I am not complaining. 5. Pros: Back-seat space; Boss switch (controlling the front passenger seat position from back); Boot Space; Handsfree boot operation; Infotainment system - ease of operation; Ventilated front seats; Personalized setting for driver seat and side mirrors associated with each key (there are 3 keys); Parking assist (it actually works!); silky smooth gear train; Ease of steering; Umbrella storage space in the two front doors - very clever!! Cons: 1. AC isn't very good. I got Llumar sun film fitted and even after that on a very hot summer afternoon, the back seat is barely comfortable. 2. The driver left arm rest isn't of sliding type and hence not too comfortable. 3. There is no remote to operate the infotainment system from back seat (Skoda claims 'Skoda Media Command' app can do it but I haven't been able to do it). 4. The door storage space, though adequate (can hold a 1 ltr standard sized bottle) has a tricky problem of inaccessibility at its corners. I saw it in a video at the showroom where Skoda claims Superb is the best in next class. I think so too. Its probably the most undersold car in the country.
