Truly Superb - Disclosure: Mine is a Manual Transmission

* * * My car is a 2010 model with a Manual Transmission. I bought this used car recently. * * *

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 tend to pin the blame mainly on the recklessness of either the owner-drivers or their professional drivers. It is really unreasonable to pin the blame on Skoda engineers or the dealer or even the service centre 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. If you want only your driver to handle your car, you should keep things simple and buy a manual transmission. Take all the complexities of DSG away and I bet your driver won't even know how to damage your car even if he wants to!! 

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.

 

Classy shape, size, feature-rich, powerful, value for moneyNothing Really... It is a wonderful car (at least the manual transmission model)
