Plenty of rear-seat space, supple ride, reputation for reliability, cavernous boot, versatile tailgate, quiet.
Feels heavy, too much delay on auto-box kickdown, can feel a little cumbersome.
An excellent cruiser offering a very comfortable ride, but doesn't match the Mondeo's driving dynamics.
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.
There's little to suggest that there'll be many issues with the new Superb. Everything feels solid, and the cabin materials are of high quality. Although Skoda boasts that this car is 'Skoda' from top to bottom, a lot of the interior equipment looks like it has come from a VW parts bin. The door panels and the controls on the doors are straight out of the Passat and the dashboard design on the Superb looks remarkably similar.
