Got a Superb a few weeks back! Previously owned Octavia 4x4 Estate, then Octavia Scout over two generations. Spent time away from Skoda in Audi TT Quattro (didn't need the space) but now with a young child enjoying the space and comfort of the Superb.

Exactly the same as mine although a bit shiner. Had mine 4 yrs . Best car I've ever had. The addition of a pedal box improves it's  drive-ability had one on mine from the day i bought it.

@JR RS Soooooo shiny!

What kind of stickers did you put on your fuel flap? I assume, they're funny ones...

Thanks.  That's actually a few days after being drenched in heavy rain, so it's not so clean, but the colour helps hide it well.

 

This is the fuel flap sticker. 

Skoda + Turbo = 😁

Gives me an extra 2kW 😛

Depending on mood, I could intepret that sometimes as Skoda + turbo = 😞 at the pumps 😂.

True that - with current fuel prices, it hurts putting in 70-73L of 98 Ron each time I fill up.

 

At least I average 800km between fill ups, and only needing to do this just once a month.

Got some new shoes (rims and tyres) for my pride and joy. 

Loving the looks of my car now

 

Latest addition to the Swiss Skoda family garage....

I just picked this up on Saturday and drove it 450 miles from the dealer in Perth back home to Somerset. Loving it so far.

That's a good colour as well, wow thats a good long way to buy a car from. Do you get much wind noise from the roof rails?

I do like the colour; ‘petrol blue’ it’s called. 
Hell of a distance yes. Not noticed the wind noise I have to say. Might have something to do with the Canton sound system having been put through its paces .

I thought that I went far enough when I sourced my car, but it was second hand with the spec I was looking for and L&K models are fairly rare it seems, I went from Chelmsford to Mansfield, around 160 miles, but thats chicken feed compared to your trip. Mine is also Petrol Blue and when the sun comes out to play, it looks green at some angles, I love it. The Canton sound system rocks as well.

I just got a good deal on one of the last stock L&K ones, so it was worth the slightly gruelling trip. Good chance to get to know the various safety systems like lane assist on the way back too. The colour to my eyes is quite green in the right light, looks great.

Hello there!

 

here a new user, fantastic car.

 

I think, to drive something with such a good quality of driving, smoothness, comfort, silence... you need to spend a serious amount of money and go for BMW Serie 5, MB E Class,  Audi A6, Volvo S90...

 

I was considering a Passat GTE variant (twin brother of this superb, same plug in engine). But the space is much better in the Skoda and the build quality is, at least the same as the "premium" VW, if not superior...

 

Its a 2020 Superb combi iv.

its 2020, and inside mirror is with border, my 2019 laurin and klement model have borderless inside mirror.

Bone stock L&K with 41kkms on it.

New Superb 2.0 TDI 147kW. 

Wheels are from....  Passat B6.

My new beast. I got I just before Christmas and absolutely loving it so far.

Been more than 3 months since Gandalf had a wash 😕

Happy with how shiny it still turns out, despite being almost 7 yrs old 😁

 

 

 

I wish mine could be soooo shiny after several months 😁...

not as clean as some on here!
