A dream car to drive and to be driven.....
13 years ago | Aakash

Exterior Unlike the 2009 Superb, the older version looks much more balanced and understated. A very classy design. It is build on a streched VW Passat platform and has a very solid feel to it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) With three men in the family of a height of more than 185 cms, it is one of the most spacious cars one could get. The seat is very comfy and a long journey would be something to write home about. The rear leg space is compared to the Merc S Class!!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox If you are passionate about cars and always had a dream to own a 6 cylinder V6, then this one is for you. Manumatic Gear box (Tiptronic) is a dream to drive in the manual as well as automatic version. As far as fuel economy goes, I would like to say that a lot depends on how you drive! With a light foot usually I get to notice 100kms/ 10.3 L which translates to 9.7 Kms/L in city (Gurgaon) which is not bad at all considering the size of the engine. It would be unfair to compare it with a smaller car. At the end of the day we all should be willing to pay a price of luxury. So if one wants to drive a car which has the engine size of two C segment cars, then a fuel economy of 9-11 is excellent by all yards.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is excellent but the cornering ability can be inproved by using low profile tyres.

Final Words Unmatchable value and huge ability. I had a choice of speding around 700,000 on a new car, but since the daily driving is not much >50 KMS/day, we thought why not fulfill a dream rather than investing in just a mode of transport. A five year old vehilcle worth 2 million INR at that price is a steal deal if one gets his hands on a well maintained vehicle. The link below is a detailed roadtest on this model. http://www.indiacar.com/roadtest/roadtest_new/superb_a_march04/index.htm

Areas of improvement Snob Value, Service network, and better tyres.

The car is loaded with all the features one wantsTiptronic Gear, I wish it was behind the steering wheel

Palace on wheels

I bought a 2nd hand car about 4 years old & clocked 45k KMs. Apparently seemed to be used with not much of care. I paid 8.5L for it.The sheer size of the car fills the biggest garage in your society. The looks seems to be ageless.

The engine, 2.8L V6, is a ultra refined VW engine & feels very smooth & responsive to your feet. It feels like a rocket propelling you to dizzy speed.

With scores of features & raw engine power and the executive "Skoda" stance, it is a pride to own one, Costly spares are a bit of setback, but, this is how the 'premium' is percieved.

Only limitations to me, is its offroad (bad roads) capability. It may scrap the bottom because of its softer suspensions as compared to Laura & New Superb 2009.

Look into the cabin space and you find ample room all around. Even after 4 years of use (abuse) there is still a typical fresh leather whiff of fragrance that greets you. 8 air-bags, Leather seats, ABS, EBD, Traction control, Cruise control, Rain sensing wipers, power washed headlamps, Xenon lights which dynamically adjust to speed, Electrically adjustable front seats with memory, 8 speaker audio, 5-speed tiptronic auot transmission with manual option (which self-programs itself according to your driving style, Sun-roof, cat-vision glow of the cock-pit, home- coming (all lights keep glowing for 3 minutes when u arrive), Umberella at the left rear door, all-heated seats and many small bells & whistles to elate & pamper.

I won't justify fuel economy, however, with onboard real-time display of fuel consumption allows you to keep your feet lighter on the accelerator and return about 11-12 kmpl on highways.(even with speeds exceeding 100 to 140)

I may be awkwardly biased, but the signature look of skoda is absent in the new version. It is unfair to even write a review or compare with newer version, noticeably, there are fewer reviews of this discontinued version.
Palatial space, excellent build quality, extremely smooth enginecostly spares

skoda superb 2.8 v6 - quite frankly the worst car ever
12 years ago | Naveen Bhatia
Exterior

good but now days all other cars are quite good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

i cant think of any feature that puts this car ahead of a fully loaded mm xylo

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

worst engine of all times, gives a milage of 4. I have spent rs 11,000 on petrol for a trip from mumbai to baroda. The air ticket is for 7,000 return. The car cannot handle low speeds and trafic driving.

The gear box needs an over-haul every 20,000 kms, the suspension needs replacement every 30,000 kms.

the stearing is too heavy.

i rate the comfort of this car less than that of a corolla

Ride Quality & Handling

poor poor

Final Words

please dont do the mistake of buying this car or any skoda the service centre are full of chors will try to loot you every time. The oil cost's Rs 800 a liter and the massive engine requires 12 liters. you spend so muchc and you get a car which is less comfortabe than a corolla, gives a milage as compaired to a ferrari, drives like a sumo in city traffic and on highways you always have the fear of it breaking down than you have to pay a few ten thousands to just get it to a service centre.
