Feegs,
You won’t regret it! My Skoda has not failed me once (and nor do I expect it to), its just as great as when I drove it out of the showroom (although that was only 10 months ago).

Even today whilst driving around Kilara in Sydney, my RS told me that one of the tyres had a low PSI rate, so I went to a servo and one tyre was at 27PSI whilst the others were at the normal rate of 32PSI. How fantastic!

The Superb is an awesome car, and is truly one of the best cars on the market. Base Commodore – 39k + on-roads, base Superb – 42 + on-roads, the Superb is well more worth it. 9 airbags for one!

Well, the general debate has been heated if nothing else (though it’s gone off the boil now). I have been researching to buy a car for the past 8 months and find myself surprised to pick a Skoda Superb 1.8 Elegance. The reasons are:
1. Build quality – Skoda are doing this right. Very few others are – including their parent VW AG. Only question marks are parts quality. This is mechanically a sophisticated bit of kit (low blow & turbocharged engine to extract so much from such a small engine). Not to mention the umbrella holder…
2. Driveability – drives well. Plenty of go (8.5sec 0-100) and handling – a nice balance of Euro firmness and cruisy car comfort.
3. Features – unmatched for the price. Even after ticking a few options, you get a lot for your dosh.
4. I like to be a contrarian. Stuff the badge cred. My ego doesn’t need validating with a fancy anything. I’d rather save the readies.
5. Comfort, and space (our 13 y.o. is over 6ft already!). Tried sitting in a larger Lexus and the rear headroom was… well, low. Almost low enough to scratch your ears!

Other Euro cars? Too expensive for features and too unreliable. Lexus? Great but dearer (and that rear headroom contortionist issue). Falcon & Commodore? Good but build quality issues/unreliability bothers me. Aurion? Good, but, well we already own a Vienta wagon. Again, Australian made quality and ‘baked beans’ motoring (Dull having it and way too much gas expelled in the process).

Someone asked who would buy one? Well, try business owners/professionals in their 40s with kids (Hang on, that’s us!).
That’s because we want value, reliability and something extra for our money (oh alright, I confess… it’s the umbrella holder).

We’ll be ordering one next month.

Considered in the UK as a prestige car is the superb .

Also check the j d power results for the UK , skoda rated second , below lexus ,and the octavia rated top family car , 16,000 motorists evaluated , dont ask where GM or FORD came its too embarrasing .

Heading towards a million cars a year production rate , not bad for a “CHEAP” brand which sells most of its cars in the very discerning euro market .

Millatime,
Maybe you should take up eating of crayons, instead of sniffing texters!!As it seems it is too hard for you to comprehend that just because skoda wasn’t producing a good products at one period durring it’s 112+ year history, doesn’t mean that it still is the case!!
And lets not forget that was not caused by the firm’s itself, but iron curtain politics!!
Prestige is derived from History, Accolades and Success. All of which Skoda has at the moment!!!

More personal abuse as usual.. Now stop eating your crayons and pay attention,
1. I said “To clarify, I havn’t rubbished the brand… It was a bargain basement brand so it’s not a prestige badge..”
2. You said “You are rubbishing the brand just by saying it has no Prestige!!”
3. Then you say “Sure , during a period not so long ago the brand have been in the bargain basement bin, producing fairly uncompetitive products..”

Congratulations, it took us a while but we finally got there

Millatime,
No, that does not at all make me a hypocrite!!

I bet you are the type of car salesman that doesn’t really know too much about the cars he sells!! Nor the competitors!! That usually makes up memorable retard statements!!
