Some nice touches/features/things I like on the new Skoda Superb Mk3.

Electric tailgate

Umbrellas in each of the front doors

Massive amounts of legroom in the back

Cup holders as well as a tablet computer holder

Clamshell bonnet that conceals the bonnet gap in the side crease

DRLs

Sidelights

Sidelights and fog lights

Indicators (when indicating in a direction it turns off the DRL on that side so the indicator stands out)

Air cooled centre cubby and glove box

Ice scraper in fuel filler door

Well aid out dashboard

I suddenly really want a Superb. Which I can’t have, because America.

There’s seriously a lot of clever stuff that manufacturers should really take note of, especially that ice scraper, that’s genius.

I’d buy it for the scraper alone!

I can’t understand how people still buy Passats when this exists.

Seriously would highly consider this if we got it over here

Ice scraper, umbrellas..... Since when does Skoda built a Rolls-Royce rival?

Superb indeed. The door umbrellas are Rolls level. Impressive.

A shame interior quality isn’t really that great on closer inspection. Plastics and fit and finish are alright, but the aluminium is mostly fake.

Or the Audi A6.

Sir what if I could give you a more economical, spacious and better looking Audi A6 and save you USD$11,000?

I never quite understood fake aluminium. It’s not like the real deal is very expensive, so why use fakes?

A 2.0TDi Mk2 Superb Elegance beat the Bentley Flying Spur back in 2009. The Elegance the equivalent to my SE L Exec.

Just smile and wave at all the overpriced Flying Spurs....

Stop showing off!

I like the soft touch plastics. Granted the chromed plastic isn’t that appealing but there isn’t much of it around the cabin.

We all already have a knowing smug smile when people ask what we have. :)

Not quite competitors but iirc they share the same platform. Is the Superb’s engine longitudinal mounted or transverse?

Svend > AndyG_UK 03/03/2016 at 11:25

I can’t. She’s only 30 hours old and I was still showing off about the Mk2 three years on.

If Skoda was in the US where exactly would it fit? Above VW and below Audi? Or alongside Audi, lik e Chevy and GM?

Haha!

Svend > FSI - alcohol enthusiast with a car problem 03/03/2016 at 11:33

Not competitors no as Skoda is aimed much lower down the VAG range but ye’, the MQB platform and underpinnings are shared.

Longitudinal I think.

Below VW. It’s a budget brand along with SEAT. They are the entry level to the VAG group.

I know and I was joking, carry on, it's what I do and I love hearing about all the cool features it has! :)

I know you were joking fella.

Though I will need to learn a balance to how much I bore people with her.

That ice scraper is awesome.

All this and it looks great, too! The snobs can keep their badges and markups. It’s the quality and attention to detail that matter, and that shouldn’t be price dependent.

Aluminium trim is always (OK, maybe not in the plutocrat class) fake.

Cé hé sin > Svend 03/03/2016 at 11:48

Yes, I think. Actually I know so but with all that plastic and whatever you can’t even see the engine!

Svend > Chariotoflove 03/03/2016 at 11:52

So true.

It’s tiny. Usually the plastic covers the engine. In this case it’s such a part of the engine I think half of it is the engine.

Umbrellas in the door? You’ve bought a bloody Rolls-Royce!!!

Svend > deprecated account 03/03/2016 at 12:01

Lol. Ye’, for less than a 1oth of the price of a base model Rolls Royce.

It’s not fake in my CLK.

Don’t be too sure!

Real thing scratches and fades so you have to apply some kind of finish so you might as well use plastic.

That’s a lovely colour, great choice, never seen it before. I never understand why people still buy a Passat if they can have a nicer and better looking Superb for less.

Actually? This seems so nice compared to stuff we have here
