| Re: New Superb in Auto Express Good report, but noticed he gives credit to Rolls-Royce for introducing the umbrella in the rear doors in their new Phantom  , when in fact it was Skoda that introduced it first in the 2002 Superb! Get your research done Mr.English  |

| Re: New Superb in Auto Express Hmmm, I have to say, I cannot stand the modern corporate grille and lights styling of these newer Skodas. Would the 167 bhp Common Rail TDi be a nice trade up from a 55 plate 2.5 TDi Elegance I wonder? I wonder........... |

| Re: New Superb in Auto Express Looks like a 2 litre 170 common rail diesel DSG would be an excellent replacement for my L & K (RIP). Anyone heard of the prices/ spec yet, I have registered my interest with Skoda GB.

This rating will now probably remain for the next few years, bl00dy typical rating by idiots who offer it up to the likes of 3 series BMW - ITS NOT THE SAME TYPE OF CAR!!!!!!! - Ride comfort is key if its going to be aiming for a comfortable cruiser, who cares if it doesn't go round corners like a fecking 3 series, not everyone drives this way & for those who do I'm sure there will be a sport/vrs version along later....

I totally agree with you.They should take the Superb for what it is - a brilliant car at a cracking price.It's not even in the same price bracket as the Beemer either, so why do they compare it to one? I think they deliberately knock the Skodas rating down on Channel 4 as they just dont like the idea of owning up to the fact of a Skoda being a better car than any other make available for the price. I know one thing, given the choice of a new Skoda Superb , or a new Bl00dy Manky Wheels 3 series , Id have the Superb every time | |

| Re: New Superb in Auto Express Top Gear magazine only gave it 12/20 in the actual magazine rather than the website and summed up by saying it is something for your boring uncle or equivalent! |
