A bit of her, just before some winter adventures 😋

Here she is, to add to the list 🥰

(I cannot make the order I want yet, sorry)

 

Hello everyone,

let me introduce James The Superb, our Superb Estate L&K 206/280, colour Raspberry Red. Ordered 08/2023 and delivered 12/2023.

Immediately after the delivery I got it wrapped in Xpel PPF to protect the paint as well as underbody rust protected with Dinitrol. It also has a clear protective film applied on the windshield. I'd like to keep it long term so I decided to spend this additional money for the protection (already got a few nasty rocks hit the windshield on the motorway and so far it's holding).

After the warranty expires I am looking into a few upgrades like ECU & TCU tune and Bilstein shocks.

Very nice, the fact that it seems L&K models seem to take so long being delivered is also very reassuring so you know it has not been preregistered by the dealer and left in a field for months waiting for buyer. I waited almost 5 months for mine. 

Switched from 2016 Superb 1.4 TSI 150 to 2023 Superb 2.0 TSI 280

 

Including photos of my previous Skoda cars

 

Almost doubled HP, it must be a significant change! 😁

1.4 TSI was pretty quick engine and absolutely more than enough in normal usage when traveling in 2 people,  2.0TSI 280 is a monster and iam kinda worried iam gonna lose driving license soon

I feel similarly about the 2.0 TSI 280 🙂 And considering you can (safely) crank it up to around 350 PS is pretty worrying 😂

280 is more than enough for me honestly

but i saw some reports that 280 is in reality 320 on dyno.

In stock version? I would be surprised of a +40HP 'error'...

AFAIK Stage 1 is usually 330 to 360 depending on who makes the remap.

Czech journalist had it on dyno and measured numbers were : 235kw / 423nm

It's basically Golf R in disguise.

It's probably true.

But cars for journalists are often in best conditions so that media articles are more positive. It helps manufacturers improving future sales.

 

I missed my Pegasus Anthracites the whole winter! They has some kerb marks so I had them renovated and now in mint condition again.

The size difference is quite something when next to each other. I remember that being a big car when it came out too.

Correct, I was driving Passats at the time and when it came time to chose the next company car, I went Superb because of that space, not just in the car, but the boot as well and still nothing quite like it on the market in the price bracket.

Unfotunately, it looks like time has pushed Skoda to higher prices standards over years... 😬

I was suprised as well, it almost seems smaller than my previous octavia 2 vs previous superb when standing next to each other 

Previous and current cars when the new one had just arrived at home: Mk3 doesn't look much bigger than Mk2...
