Skoda Superb Sportline review - the best value saloon out there? 

Kevin Mc Auley cheers! This one is fairly long but I also hate 3 min reviews you can’t review a car in 3!

Matt Baller I got the 190 4x4 Sportline, picked up a demo for a steal m. What a cracking car and drive it is. Looks amazing on al back pearl paint. Serious car for not big money. Boot is insane.

@K9 1 it was one of the best cars i've owned and driven, did 20k miles in it, also loved the look. I swapped it for a Kodiaq Sportline 7 seater 190 recently as I needed the extra seats for family. But preferred driving the Superb being honest. And I visit Ireland regularly - good solid car for those roads, bags of grip. You could import an used almost new example for really decent money. Compared to the A4 new model - had before - Skoda Superb for me. A4 was great, but youthe Superb has a slick look and aircraft hold sized boot. Sportline only, rest are bland looking IMHO, the black works so well.

Ivan Popov what are they starting at? I thought Ireland was an expensive place to buy a car!!

@@NobbyOnCars The prices for a Superb Sportline in Bulgaria range from 25 000 euros for the base model to over 50 000. An average salary here is about 400-500 euros.

Totally agree , mine looks shabby now and would have prefeered leather

Sorry disagree I was given this exact car as a replacement and it was 2019 model with 56000 km and not a rattle and seat fabric like new.

Enjoy it

Strange 'Car Wow' brake test showed the Superb Sportline outbrake a BMW M6! Maybe get the brakes checked.

@@user-jv6ds2lg1o may be they don't live in west of ireland where ya can really test s car and it's brakes also I'm pretty sure an m6 weighs s whole pile more than my superb all I really said was my old a6 had better brakes

@@scalereality4840 my comment

It actually looks pretty cool with the 20s!

Ramesh Bhagat thank you!

If it doesn't cost a fortune, DCC is always worth it IMO. I reckon it would be sporty but not uncomfortable. A lot of sportline trim ones have 20s.

I'm about to buy one, after 4 octavia vRS. I've also owned a diesel superb S-EL exec, and it was a barge. No driving fun at all. The sport line feels a bit taughter, but my plan is to fit coilovers and a revo remap when I've paid off the finance etc. The bit I can't change is the lsd, which is needed on the standard 220ps engine, let alone a remapped one.

You should hear straight pipe diesel. Terryfing sound

I don't really like it myself but I suppose if all the cars around the world combined did it, there must be some reduction on co2.

In an auto it's more usable. Foot on brake and the engine turns off as you stop, lift foot a little and turns back on. In slow moving traffic I think it saves a decent amount of fuel, I drive an Octavia VRS 245 estate, very thirsty! Although I agree the loss of power steering can be a bit dodgy in some situations.

I use the stop start on my Octavia 2.0TDI 150 on the daily, and my long term mpg average is 57mpg.. So, it must do something if you use it correctly lol

joe simmons 190bhp not sure when it became available but it’s possible to order!

I wonder does the Sportline get those bits in Ireland. I'm nearly sure the car in this video had all of those features that the plus gains. It seems to be blind spot, bigger screen and electric boot. Worth asking a dealer, Pilsen would be where I got this one from. Ask for Rob and say I told you!! :)

@@NobbyOnCars cheers I was wondering as yours looked well speced. Love the vids.

Jamie McDonnell thanks a lot 👍🏻

2.0TDI plant in this is widely used in the VAG/Skoda range, I know someone with 400,000kms on an A4 with the same engine.

I have a wagon 1.6 tdi for my employees to drive in. It is from january 2011 and has so far gone 367.000 km without any sort of problems at all. Only regularly service. ;)

If the dogs need to jump into the boot, the Combi will be lower. If you have the 3rd row in the Kodiaq folded down, the boot is still decent but the estate will be bigger overall.

Perfect would like the higher position of kodiaq but the practicalities of the combi are very good. I like the facelift Superbs but trying to find one in Ireland with spec and 190 dsg is hard.

Yeah that's quite the hard mix to find here. I do love the Kodiaq but for 3 dogs I think you'd be better off with the Superb. UK maybe?!

It will have to be as buying new with the spec is way to expensive. Thanks for your time 👍

Vanja Tucakovic not in Ireland anyway, you can get manual in 190bhp which this car is.

@@NobbyOnCars oh ok, well thats not fair, i've recently ordered my self an estate superb in velvet red 2.0tdi in manuel and only 150bhp🤨

Vanja Tucakovic what country are you in? Ireland would be a small priority for Skoda in the grand scheme so if it’s available here I’m surprised it’s not everywhere!

@@NobbyOnCars i live in Germany, yeah i can't believe it either...

+Nobby On Cars .thanks for your reply .that sounds fantastic !

That casual racism or are you just saying hello?!

Mondeo is more rewarding to drive (if after fun) and the ST-line trim is beautiful, but I ended up going for the Superb Sportline as it really is better value for money overall. I should caveat this though by saying I'm buying for a mix of fun and practicality, so I've not tried the top-flight petrol engines on either!

LOL the Mondeo.. That is a cheap cheap car compared to a Superb :D

@Johnny Dong It actually is.. Even Kia Optima is more "premium" than a cheap Mondeo. ;)
