Faults:

Turbo failed (Expensive).

The rest was just wear and tear parts replaced as expected for the age and mileage.

General Comments:

Large, comfortable, and can be economical. The Superb is a great all round car.

Very sharp looking, I like this generation's looks.

Inside the SE model has more than enough options. Lots of space.

Not bad to drive. Petrol 1.8 "TSi" engine has just enough power for the car's size. Realistically you can expect 35 mpg on average, but for closer to 40 mpg you need to do a lot of motorway cruising. You could get the more common diesel engines, but the petrol options strength is in refinement and a smooth operating drive.

Just about any model is highly recommended. Make sure you buy a looked after car with full history.

Faults:

Clutch failed, EGR valve needed replaced, broken bonnet release, ABS sensor, plus all the typical wear and tear items replaced.

Water pump leaked, but replaced when I changed the cambelt.

Dash warning indicates power steering issues, but sometimes goes away on its own, no problem apparent.

Bought used, but the car has been looked after, serviced on time.

General Comments:

A large saloon form Skoda, the Superb is among one of the best cars for the money if you just need a large spacious vehicle.

Not that fun to drive, but the 2.0 TDi is probably the best all round engine - plenty of power and does around 45 mpg or a little more on diesel.

Elegance model has leather seats and all the electrics expected of the time. Space inside this car is as good as it gets. Very smooth on the motorway. Quiet as well for diesel, you rarely hear the engine.

Nice, but nowhere near as reliable as my old 2006 Honda Accord. As much as I like this car it is a little overrated - I have had it a few years now and it's not quite as reliable and "solid" as its reputation suggests, and it is expensive to repair. Not a bad car by any means, but I don't know if I'd buy another.

Faults:

Brakes, springs, exhaust, and an ABS sensor needed replaced. Wear and tear basically.

Air con weak.

Bonnet catch broke.

General Comments:

A stunningly large car form Skoda, the Superb does everything I need and more. My car is silver, very common color.

SE model is mid range, but the car still has plenty of electronic equipment, feels like a luxury car. Interior space is huge. Rear passengers have the most legroom I have ever seen in a car.

Driving position is good and the car is good to drive. 1.8 TSi petrol is pretty rare seeing as most of these cars are diesel. It has good performance and still does 35 - 40 mpg which I can live with.

I have had it six years and just cannot find anything negative to say about it, and I cannot remember a car that has ever left that impression on me! Highly recommended, they are cheap to buy used.

Faults:

Usual wear + tear, also replaced cambelt.

Cosmetically the outside is unmarked, interior is not holding up as well as hoped, rear armrest broke.

No major problems, DPF light came on but a long drive cleared it out.

General Comments:

Basically a bigger Skoda Octavia. The Superb is aimed at the executive market, but falls short of taking on well established names like BMW and Mercedes. Shame really, Skoda really tried with this car and it shows; the interior is very nice with all the electrics you would expect on a car of this type. Much more refined than my previous Octavia. Rear legroom is incredible, limousine like! SE model is mid range with half leather, and is very comfortable.

Rear hatch/boot is a bit of a gimmick.

2.0 TDi is best all rounder, decent performance while doing well over 50 MPG on average. Running costs are more or less identical to the smaller Octavia, and you can get these cars used at a great price, highly recommended.
