      I really appreciate the space in the rear seats of the Superb! My only gripe with the car is I wish it was quieter inside. There is too much wind/road noise.

    I notice that starting price of new Superb is 10000 euros more than 18 months ago!!!
    And i have strong feeling that something is shady in car industry in general with those huge prices and that has nothing to do with war in Ukraine or chip shortages.

      You're right. When the mk3 first got released in UK in 2015 the base price was under £20k, now over £30k. Still a lot of car for the money right enough.

      I think it kinda makes sense tho. At this stage cars of the same class are so similar, you don't really get truly awful cars or truly amazing ones. Even the worst cars in production today are so much closer to the best cars out there than ever before.

      @Drone Tours I agree, but your original statement was a little bold. Although well engineered, I feel skodas lack aspiration, very much a fleet vehicle. NPC cars.
      Must say, I do have a soft spot for the older gen Ocatvia vrs estate but they didn't come with a powerful enough engine to be desirable.

    If you save 500 pounds a month that's 48000 / 500 = 96 / 12 = 8 years of savings. And it's a "value for money" car.

    Great looking estate but like most cars vastly overpriced. Only Dacia are offering any value, everybody else has now gone premium and I think we will see casualties in the future as more manufacturers leave the small affordable segment.

    I'm sad the battery takes so much cargo space, when BEV's get a huge battery in their floors and you only notice it under the foot wells.
    This car is one of my prime suspects. Engines are boring, but it's such a big surplus to the next better car. The newer E-Class is far superior in terms of driver aids. More space between the rear wheels as well. Only Renault Talisman does better, the Skoda is mediocre. Just narrow, but somehow offers many liters.

      Styling to impress your grandfather, if they could only fix that...
      Soon they're going to make it a full EV, right? Same platform as announced for ID.7?
      I'm curious whether the packaging will be at 2012 Model S levels. They could do a RWD one with large frunk. It's now FWD, so why not?

Despite the minor incident, I continued on my journey, enjoying the scenic views and the feeling of the wind in my hair.
