The Full Sized Golf R??? But Wait It's A Skoda? 

I had a 2016 206tsi awd for a few years. They really are a sleeper. The road holding in the wet is crazy and and electromagnetic suspension settings do make a huge difference. The lift back, as reviewed, is a great hybrid between sedan looks and wagon practicality.

Great video. They’re definitely a sleeper. I got the same year Sportline last year for a new daily. I wanted a turbo with at least 200kw, 4wd, less that 5 years old and no more than $32k. This is the only option so I went with it and am so glad I did!

Properly slept on these things,

Skoda are awesome understated cars!

Great review Ross. I love my 2020 Skoda Octavia RS wagon. The do-everything sleeper fang mobile.

2017 Superb Sportline here..Stage 1 tune...awesome piece of kit

Nice one Johnny , a lot of car. I owned a Golf R some time ago , fitted a sprint booster to mine, fixed all my doughiness in the throttle. 👍

Fell in love with these when I saw a walkaround tour of San Marino, and all the government officials got drove around in grey Superbs. I wanted one in wagon form for the dog but they're not cheap, ahh c'mon lottery!!!!!

I’m glad I didn’t hold my breath for this one lol. Seriously mate I love your channel and this video. I own a 2019 Skoda Superb Sportline with a stage two tune it has just over 300kw / 550 nm . At the wheels This car is truly one of the fastest cars that I have owned. I honestly can’t believe how good it is I did a 4.6 to 100kph on stage one. I haven’t timed on stage 2 yet but my tuner thinks it may go into the 3s. I have owned some serious Aussie muscle cars in the past that have not delivered this kind of performance. Please don’t get me wrong I LOVE my Aussie muscle cars .

Audi,BMW, and a touch of Nissan pulsar, next time I pull up at the lights against a Skoda I'll be ready, nice review mate

Hey Mate,I've never driven one but she goes great 5.2 tuned is fast,it seems like a nice package all round,has a very clean look inside with all the gadgets you'd need,I don't like the boot with some kidnapped bloke in there haha,but other than that sweet as,nice review Johnny thanks.

Love these great sleepers. These are common with the diesel in the uk for taxis

Ive got a 2 litre sel executive tdi superb and the spec on it is unbelievable. You put it in sports mode and it does 0 to 60 in about 6ish seconds. Its a vw branded car but for a lot less money it’s a great car

I have not Superb, but an Octavia 2014 with 1.8TSI turbo engine. It is only FWD, but the engine has its torque in a very wide range in engine rpm: from 2000 to 5500 it has the maximum. It can be also tuned with +100Nm (!) on stage 1, which means this engine is has a lot of potential. And also my car can causing a lot of surprise on the road, because it seems a normal Octavia, but it is better, than people thinks :D In Hungary we have a lot of these Skoda cars on the roads, but the most of them have the 1.6 or 2.0CRTDI engines, or the 1.4-1.5TSI engines, which are fine, but the 1.8TSI is a surprise, if I press the gas pedal, I really like this thing in my car. There are RS models from Octavia with 2.0TSI or 2.0TDI engines, but these cars has different bumpers and has also RS badges on the front and back, so people knows, that this is a bit faster Octavia. My car has none of them, so the people don't think that :D And also the Octavia has a lot of clever, but nice features. And these small features makes a car really usable in the daily use, you didn't showed all of them ;)

Own a Skoda Octavia RS wagon. It’s mechanically a golf 7 GTI. So the aftermarket upgrades are readily available. It’s a true sleeper

Nice review. The adaptive dampers do not lower the car. Internal shock valving changes to increase bump and rebound stiffness, height doesn't change at all, in any capacity, on any VAG 'DCC' equipped model. That one in particular also does have launch control hehe. Great video, keen to see some more Euro stuff!

Never seen one of these before but I can definitely see VW inside the cabin which is tastefully done. A really good looking sedan! Nice review on a ride that's definitely under the radar, especially here in the States! Keep up the good work bro

I would do anything to get whip shining as your's..mine has turned to grey from black

Hi Jonathan, Excellent channel. Great review Great car These Superb vehicles are so underrated. Similar in size to VF Commodore & FG Falcon. Such a roomy car for 5 people. FYI Skoda began in Europe nearly 100 years ago VW bought 30% of Skoda in 1991. They increased their ownership over the following years, and took it over fully in 2000. Skoda / VW / Audi vehicles share many under body components, and engines, interior bits etc. In recent times, Skoda have been in Australia since 2007. Initially under full VW Australia control. They have operated in Australia with a lot more independence since approx 2017, but still part of VW Australia Group. Superb been sold in Australia since about 2010. It’s such an excellent vehicle. Superb has had many upgrades since 2017. You should go and look at a new one at a Skoda dealership in Perth ? Available as the sedan / Liftback OR a wagon. Since bringing the small Kamiq SUV to Australia in late 2020, along with a 140tsi version of Karoq SUV, in addition to the 7 seater Kodiaq SUV, their sales in Australia have increased a lot. Skoda sold over 9,000 new vehicles in Australia last year. If there was not semi conductor shortages etc, they would be easily selling over 1,000 new cars per month in Australia, IF they could get decent supply from Europe. The Skoda Octavia RS uses the Golf Gti engine. Skoda #simplyclever.

A few years ago i was looking at the wagon version and the vw passat wagon 206. They are basically the same car. I think they had 350nm and the golf r had 380nm.

A review on a Wednesday arvo? Ok I've just my beer goggles on,wtf a Skoda next will be a great wall! Cheers Ross stay safe bro.👍🇦🇺🍻

you need to have a look at the VRS

Dope.... Mean bro!!!! I've got a blue one here in NZ 😄😎💪👏👍😃🙂 trust me boys ay...... It fkn RIPS

FYI Golf R has a seven speed box, not six. Great review 👍 *Mistake, 2016 has six speeds

I reckon these are excellent sleeper cars and I'd rather get one of these instead of a Golf R (Because they aren't as common)... That being said, I don't know if VW mechanicals are a good thing or a bad thing... Great review though 👍

Massive sleeper. Looks better as a wagon though ;)

Hmmmm bring myself to buy a vw/skoda, very scared of dsg and diesel gate is insane

gotta admit this is pretty decent eh!

Bad thing about Skoda is availability of parts, plus after sales service from the Volkswagen group. I nearly bought one a few years back until I read some online reviews. Keep em coming JR ...

Wish the Spanish Cupra brand was was available in Australia. Seem like quick cool cars with good technology. I'm pretty sure they are from the Seat car company 👍

I didn't know sport mode was lowering the car. This is something new I learn about it.

Does it have tiptronic on the steering

Does it come in a wagon as well?

The boot looks like a Kia stinger

Where can a I get one brand new for $50k Il buy it right now lol

Perfect Dogging car .

Build Quality is not as good as a Golf but they are still pretty cool cars for the money.
