Skoda super : Is it simply clever?

So, the superb? Is the car worth the buy? Let's get to it. The first step was to get in the showroom and get the details about the car. The buying experience was a bit average, as a Skoda user from the Fabia to the 2016 Superb, I found the showroom standards degrading.

As a top notch brand, the experience was very poor in the showroom. Lack of expertise and skills were the main factors faced by the staff. As a Skoda user, I had my mind set on the new superb but if it weren't the case, I wouldn't have been convinced by the salesman to buy the car. Skoda's sales standards have degraded in the past decade and it's quite visible. When the price range is in comparison to the C class and the A3 & A4, skoda has to improve in the sales segment.

The test drive was lovely, from the moment you sit in the car till the ignition turns on and you hit the pedal, it's a lovely feeling. The car feels very sophisticated and well . You cant find any cheap plastics used in the dashboard equaling to a luxurious feeling to the dashboard. The steering wheel is light but responsive and point the car in any direction, it's where it goes. The diesel engine provides a good amount of torque to pull you away from standstill while pushing you back in your seat.

In India, you find potholes everywhere, but it doesn't bother the superb, it sails smoothly over these bumps without you even noticing the pothole. The car is very stable at high speeds and the cabin is quite too with minimal road noise. Service is again a big issue for Skoda and too heavy on your pockets. That's an area where Skoda should improve. But overall the car is a delight and has a host of features for the price it comes for.

Pros: 1. Great handling 2. Plush cabin and pretty spacious 3. Great engine and optimal fuel average 4. Stable at high speeds and excellent ride quality 5. Amazing speakers Cons: 1. Service centers are hard to find 2. Costly maintenance 3. Poor sales 4. Low resale value.
