Skoda Superb 1.9 TDI PD (2008-) Review

Category: Large Family 3 out of 5

Summary of the Skoda Superb 1.9 TDI PD (2008-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Class-best rear legroom, not far off Audi levels of quality, quiet cruiser.

Drawbacks

Strange rear styling, not as good to drive as the Mondeo. Ride quality deteriorates with bigger wheels.

Verdict

Entry-level diesel is pick of the spacious Superb range with low emissions, plenty of kit and an overwhelming feeling of top-drawer quality.

Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

Skodas are generally very reliable and that is reflected in customer satisfaction surveys. Each year the Czech brand is right up there in the league tables and in 2008 Skoda finished second in the well-respected JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Where quality concerns the Superb is a hit, feeling not only well-made, but expensive. To be blunt, both Volkswagen and Audi have their work cut out to make their substantially more expensive models feel more expensive then their Czech cousin.
