Skoda Superb [2004-2009]

Exterior The built is strong, color quality is superior, xenon lights and chrome grill are stylish, windows & Glasses are high quality. Tail lights however were better in previous platform untill 2006-155BHP models. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space at the rear and front, comparable to S-E Class mercedes. Audio is good, speaker quality, bass is amazing. Comfortable seats, softer suspension, Automatic climate control, however its not as effective as other cars like hyundai, honda. HHeavy doors, airbags ensure safety. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 2500 cc, 350NM torque, feels rocket when turbo spools, however quite fuel consuming with AC in traffic jams, but on motorway-it provides excellent fuel economy even 6l/100km if tyre pressure is correctly set as prescribed on fuel cap, although its higher than indian road standards, but definitely improves fuel economy. Gearbox is cool in D mode, shifts brilliantly, and in gives sporty feel in manual tiptronic mode. Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is what german cars are known for, this is skoda from outside however all internal parts are VW Audi, and hence quite expensive but built to last, just pray that none of them goes bad, parts are hard to find and even if the vehicle is too old now, parts are still expensive. Excellent suspension and handling at corners, this version is more low and sticks to the ground at high speeds, quite opposite to SUV height feeling. Heavier steering feels good on highways. Final Words To summarize, its a pretty decent limo, luxury car with excellent features and specifications, however I would not suggest this car to a beginner and even if they are cheap due to poor resale value of skoda, it would require a lot of intelligence, knowledge and experience to keep this car in good condition and maintain it forever. Areas of improvement Power Steering, which is quite stiff, AC also isnt too effective.Engine Torque-350NM, Suspension,safety-6 airbags, fuel economy at highwaysPower Steering Bit heavy, Parts not easily available and costly too

Exterior  good but now days all other cars are quite good. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  i cant think of any feature that puts this car ahead of a fully loaded mm xylo Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  worst engine of all times, gives a milage of 4. I have spent rs 11,000 on petrol for a trip from mumbai to baroda. The air ticket is for 7,000 return. The car cannot handle low speeds and trafic driving. The gear box needs an over-haul every 20,000 kms, the suspension needs replacement every 30,000 kms. the stearing is too heavy. i rate the comfort of this car less than that of a corolla Ride Quality & Handling  poor poor Final Words please dont do the mistake of buying this car or any skoda the service centre are full of chors will try to loot you every time. The oil cost's Rs 800 a liter and the massive engine requires 12 liters. you spend so muchc and you get a car which is less comfortabe than a corolla, gives a milage as compaired to a ferrari, drives like a sumo in city traffic and on highways you always have the fear of it breaking down than you have to pay a few ten thousands to just get it to a service centre.   Areas of improvement    every where  leg roomevery thing else

  I am an owner of 2008 Skoda Superb. In June 2011, I got a complete service done for the car from Skoda dealer in Gurgaon: Giriraj Motors. It included all Oil Change, general service, and also replaced the Coolant Reservoir with a new one. 2 days after the service, the car's system started giving the message for low coolant level. I contacted a local mechanic and he put in 2 full bottles of coolant. However, few days later it again started giving the same coolant issue. I took it to another Skoda Dealer: Fahrenheit Motors and told him the issue. The Skoda representative over there, Mr. Hemant, told me he will charge an initial Rs. 1250 just to look at the car and will charge separately for parts, oil etc.; and that I will have to wait for 1 hour for it. As I had no other choice, I agreed to demand. All they did was to bring 1 mechanic who found that the issue maybe because of a loose connection while fixing the Coolant Reservoir. Still they are not sure if the issue is resolved, and I might have to come again and shell out more money. And for this small thing they charged me Rs. 1250 + service tax. Because of this blunder done by Giriraj Motors, I had to shell out so much money with the Fahrenheit Motors and local mechanics. The Skoda service centers provide the worst service at exorbitant prices and without much result.Nice and comfortableWorst Service

  The philosophy behind Skoda’s designs is clearly reflected with a new front radiator that is enhanced with chrome detailing adding a vintage-type look to the car. The all new Superb gets stylish 16-inch alloy wheels. Other attractive features like an outside rear view mirror with indicators, electric sunroof, automatic shut boot lid, and automatic rain sensing windshield wipers come as standard on the new Superb. The interior gets upgraded with Ivory Nappa leather upholstery and a 12-way electrically adjustable driver seat with programmable memory. The music creates magic whilst driving with Skoda’s audio player and amazing 6.5-inch LCD colour touchscreen. The dual zone climatronic and automatic air circulation with air quality sensors ensures an optimum environment within the cabin regardless of the weather outside. The rich comfort and convenience features of the new Superb pampers like no other. The new Skoda Superb gets the best of safety and security features such as 8-airbags including side rear airbags, ABS with electronic brake force distribution, anti-slip regulation (ASR), traction control system, electronic stability system, tyre pressure monitoring, and engine immobilizer with floating code.  Exterior and interior LookRear wiper not present
