ஸ்கோடா சூப்பர்ப் [2016-2020] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

We bought the new Skoda Superb L&K TSI AT in 2016 in the month of April from Tafe Access, ST Marks Road Bangalore We loved the looks of the car and assumed Skoda to be a premium brand and hence went for the luxury car under them. The car started giving AC problems within the first two months and even after multiple visits to the service center, the problem could not be solved. After a year of suffering we managed to get the AC compressor changed. After 2 years we encounted a battery problem and we were stranded in the middle of the road. After calling the Skoda emergency services, they asked us to change the battery. We found the nearest available battery provider and got the same changed. When we gave the car for its third service, the mechanic says the battery has leaked and has spoiled the inside mechanics of the car. Though it was not our fault as it was the job of the Skoda emergency services to provide us with a new battery which they didnt, yet the company has charged close to 2.5 lakhs to repair the car and we are deeply saddened by their service. Though Skoda makes good cars, a defective car with AC compressor problem and with their bad service with respect to the car battery replacement has left us regretting our choice every day . We have filed a lawsuit against Skoda India for the experience we have had with the Superb. Request all prospective Skoda customers to take a hard look at the brand and look for an alternative to Skoda cars. Thank You . Regards Tanuj SJ.

(1) Buying Experience: I was researching on a value-for-money vehicle in the range of 30-35 lakhs since Aug 2016. And after final considerations, settled on the Superb. It looked gorgeous, was different from Audi A3/A4 in construct and had a razor sharp road presence. We bought the Superb L & K Petrol, in Aug 2017.

(2) Riding Experience: I have since driven 3000 kms (approx.) and the ride quality has been very good. You can trust me on this particular aspect because I am 6 feet 5 inches tall, well built and don't really fit into vehicles. I am pretty critical of a vehicle when it comes to comfort. Merc C Class is comfortable for me but once I stretch, the riders in the rear seat squeeze to a chagrin. Superb didn't disappoint me once. It's so smooth & subtle. The 180 bhp petrol engine is a shark on Indian roads. Average vehicle mileage is 12 kmpl (for these 3000 odd kms). The suspensions can eat potholes. And the ground clearance is more than decent for a saloon this size. The car clears the speed breakers without a hitch, even the bad ones.

(3) Pros: The variety of gizmos this car offers is quite outstanding. It's like flying business class - everything is at your fingertips - calls, music, navigation, ac/heat vents, seat adjustments, colors, everything. Absolutely beautiful interiors. And the biggest plus of this vehicle is its boot space - 625 litres. You can literally kill me and stuff me in it, i.e. if you can kill me ;-).

(4) Cons: So far the only thing that has bothered me is the quality of the rear ac vent- the one that is closer to the feet of the rear passengers. The lower half of this vent is made up of pesky plastic. I wonder why the hell did they do that. A really fuckall thing to do in the center of such a car. Ridiculous actually. N.B. - I know people around the country have faced myriad service problems with Skoda dealerships. But Skoda (Imperial Skoda, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand) was very convincing that I wouldn't face one, when servicing became due in a year. The charges are fixed @12 ~ 17 grands from 1st through the 5th years. I will certainly update about it, irrespective of things going north or south. Thanks for the time folks.

When I decided to buy a car, I went with superb because of its elegant design and brand. The car name matches its design and performance. I'm truly happy with my superb since I purchased it.

i purchased Superb automatic in petrol..Skoda company is cheater and third class company..ever staff peoples are also very bad even they dont know how to behave with customers..no rules and regulation matters for them..they know only 1 thing very well that how to take out the money from customers pocket..they charge for genuine parts and fix local parts in the car while servicing

Best car in its segment. It is very comfortable and the suspension is super soft and super comfy. Pick up is nice. Reliability could’ve been slightly better. It doesn’t comes with tons of useless features and that is a good point. Also u can auto park it. It can absorb the potholes and uneven roads very nicely. Ride quality is nice.

I used this car since last 5 months ...and this car is amazing I am from Kolkata ..and in Kolkata road ..have so much rush ..but this car has amazing features like automatic so that I can drive so smoothly in rush also.

Hassle-free buying experience. 1st few hundred kilometres has been a bliss. Everyday city usage is so pleasant with ventilated seats, highway cruising is effortless. Skoda's new warranty has been peaceful!

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.
