Superb Skoda

Exterior

Impeccable design and intelligent features (just one example: auto-adjusting headlamps) 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Extraordinary amount of space... particularly at the back.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

It gives me great confidence to pull ahead of other cars on the road. 1.8 TSI petrol engine is very responsive and extremely quiet. My manual gearbox is a pleasure to operate. I understand the DSG automatic gearbox in AT models is suffering a lot of failures at the hands of Indian drivers and I would like to pin the blame completely on the recklessness of either the owner-drivers or more than likely that of the professional drivers hired by owners who don't want to drive their expensive Skoda by themselves for whatever reason. It is really unreasonable to pin all the blame on Skoda engineering or the dealer or even the service shop personnel. People have got to be honest in admitting their incompetence or that of their drivers. I fully support Skoda the company's position in handling all these frivolous complaints.

Ride Quality & Handling

Superb!!! What else can I say? 

Final Words

Please see my comments above under Engine Performance and Gearbox section. 

Areas of improvement  

I can't think of anything serious. There may be some intermittent electrical malfunctions because there is so much technology built in this mean machine. I have noticed that the fuel gauge suddenly shows empty from half-full position when I am operating headlamps, wipers, AC and radio. Again, this doesn't happen everytime! I am stumped as to why it happens, but it is not such a major issue that I want to leave my car at the dealer for an extended period of time. I can live with the quirk. Nothing else is wrong with my used 2010 Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI MT.

 

Room, Power, Smart features, ValueNothing! But I am annoyed by the owners who blame Skoda cars for their own lack of driving skills.
