Great car
I have had this car for 7 years now. Purchased new, used daily coming up to 185000 km. It always runs great with excellent fuel economy. Comfortable to drive, reliable and lots of great features. Will definitely buy another one when I am ready for a new car in a few more years!!
Purchased in November 2021.

Scary experience
I’m very disappointed with the quality of my Skoda Superb. My car has been recalled and the mechatronic unit replaced, however my car failed again due to the mechatronic unit. It was a very scary experience, as my car’s mechatronic unit failed causing my car to suddenly stop while I was still on drive. My sister-in-law also had a similar experience with her car. Her Skoda Octavia also had problems with the car suddenly stopping due to the mechatronics. Her vehicle required the mechatronic unit to be replaced not once, but twice in the space of a year, once under recall, then again a year after. I am not sure what’s going on, I am not impressed with the quality of my vehicle and I feel very upset and disappointed with my experience.
Purchased in February 2021.

Fantastic car until you need service under warranty.
10/October/2018 - In August 2018 I bought my mother's Skoda Superb 2015 that had only 6800km in the odometer. The car had spent most of the time parked in the garage.
On 1st of October I pulled the handbrake and it did not work. I took the car to Eastside Skoda at Melbourne which assessed the car and promised to come back to me.
On the 9th of October Skoda responded the bolt that was missing in the handbrake could not be replaced and the whole system would need to be replaced. The parts would arrive on the 17th of October. When asked abou...Read more
t the warranty I got the following response: "The handbrake bolt is not something that works itself loose over time; and it is an item checked at each service. Warranty has stated that the only way this could have happened, especially so far into the ownership of the vehicle, is an incorrect adjustment of the handbrake at a previous service causing the bolt to fall off and go missing. This would mean external influence is the cause of this concern, and that it is not a warrantable manufacturing defect." Clearly Skoda assumed my mother had taken the car to be serviced at a non-authorised service centre. I replied to Skoda saying that the car had only been serviced at Lennock Skoda Canberra and requested them to confirm it. Skoda confirmed the last and only service done in the car happened on February 2018 at Lennock Skoda. So the second response to suggest it was not going to be covered by the warranty:1 comment

Ride quality
I have a 2015 Tsi 118 Elegance Station Wagon and rate the car highly. This was a run out deal just before the release of the new model and was kitted out with all the bells and whistles - self parking, reversing camera,Kelsey system etc, etc including flash 225x40/R18 wheels shod with Continental SportContact2 tyres. Oh dear- not good! The low profile tyres accentuate every bump and pothole and while dry weather handling was excellent and motorway driving was good the positives were far out weighed by the negatives of the harsh "real road" exp...Read more
erience. To add insult to injury the Continentals wore out rapidly. I have replaced the wheels and tyres with 205x55/R16s and this has transformed the ride of the car for the better to a degree I can hardly believe and it now soaks up bumps and potholes very well. This begs the question as to why car makers go to the trouble of engineering a really good car and then equip it with patently inappropriate wheels and tyres. Anyway I am at last a happy Skoda owner.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Supurb (literally)
I've recently purchased a 6 year old Turbo-diesel wagon as I needed a comfortable load-lugger and I have to say it's been really, really, impressive. I've spent 5 times as much on new cars in the past and now I really wonder why I ever wasted that kind of money. The Skoda is soooo comfortable and is the top of the range with built in sat-nav and all the other bells and whistles, including heated leather seats, etc. It also parks itself though I've not tried it out yet. Seriously, when I'm parked at lights next to the BMW, Merc and Audi drivers,...Read more
or those in their big gas-guzzling 4WDs, it actually makes me smile to think how little I paid for a car with so much going for it, compared to what they would have paid. Seriously it is a superb car (excuse the pun) and if you can be 'big enough' to not be a badge snob and actually try one, you'll be highly impressed.I can't see myself ever parting with it.Similar opinion?

The Best
Fantastic fuel economy on diesel. Very comfortable long distance tourer. Have done over 200,000 and not one repair. I also really like the DSG transmission. The radio phone integration is xcellent and easy to use. Very under rated car. It has plenty of pick up and goes and goes. I will buy another!

After Five Years I am still in Love
My first wagon and the biggest car I have owned since my Fiat 130. Coming from an Audi Turbo Quattro I am seriously impressed with this car: the top of the range V6 Superb Elegance with most options. It can carry all the luggage you need plus ample space for ALL passengers. Because I went for the V6 it is not very economical around town but on the open roads it sips at less than 7.8l/100km. I love the leather heated seats in winter. Love the dual climate control. Love the acceleration and braking. The standard fixtures for retaining loads are v...Read more
ery clever; from a bottle of wine to a lawn mower, all solidly fixed so they cannot move. In the country the Bi-Xenon adaptive lights are like daylight and the adaptive part is amazing as they adjust the beam according to your speed. Not one issue with it apart from the usual irritating Can-Bus issues I have had in cars costing six times the Skoda; these are intermittent things like auto lights not turning off within 10 seconds or the auto windscreen wipers being a bit slow to respond to drizzle. The only downside I can vaguely report is it seems a bit heavy on tyre wear BUT it is a heavy car. More air-bags than any equivalent car of its year, including Mercedes Benz and BMW. Bigger brakes than any equivalent car (including the Mercedes E class and BMW 5 Series) and more luggage space and rear leg room than the equivalent E class.1 comment
Sadly, on January 26th 2018 the car was struck by lightning and killed. A very, very sad day.

Magnificent Car
Without doubt the best car I have ever owned. The smarts posessed by the CBUS wiring and computers on board is amazing, so much is adjustable and tailorable, like the turning lights. Adjustable memory mirrors and memory driver's seat. Auto windows up if it rains, if you want. Being able to simultaneously open 4 windows when unlocking car on hot day with just one button press...Wow. The actual performance spec on the petrol 1.8L turbo belies the mid range punch available from just 1500 rpm, and fuel economy is amazing for such a spacious and l...Read more
arge vehicle. Seats are simply the best ever experienced, by a long shot. Last Skoda was an 2012 Octavia RS Wagon and 143,000 km later was still faultless so quite impressed with the brand, and only purchased originally after some detailed research on the largest Skoda fleet in the world, the UK. Very happy owner of 118tsi Elegance Wagon in Champagne. Magnificent car with amazing load capacity and rear legroom. The 400w stereo is a revelation after past top of the line Toyota stereo..3 comments
Just make sure your get the1.8L petrol OEM timing chain, tensioners etc attended to, if outside warranty in a pre 2013 version. This is a known fault that needs immediate attention, to avoid potentially catastrophic grief.
The DSG boxes are a bit different to your usual slush boxes. The initial response takes a little getting used to but after that you never go back. The driving dynamics are that of a well driven manual... Read more
, combined with gear changes in milliseconds; both up and down. You get engine braking all through the gears that consequently saves on brake consumables, my RS wagon was still on the original Bosch pads after 143,000 km! ( I live in a hilly area, too)Some oil usage was largely negated by using 5W-40 VAG spec oil (Shell) instead of the 30 Weight oil. Would still recommend the full synthetic oil as the semi synthetic oils will be quite degraded before 10,000km.

Power, Economy & Luxury in ONE!
Every drive puts a smile on my dial. The torque of the 2l diesel is unlike Anything I have ever driven. Responsive, accelerating, confidence inspiring to safely overtake. Inside the cabin is Audi luxury, with a different badge, not to mention it's less then half the price.
Reliability has been faultless thus far, however just started noticing a little noise from the front end which I hope is nothing serious.
Rewarding, luxury, practical family car! Buy one, I would again!
