Buying a sportline version is quite pointless in my opinion. It is a comfortable, huge family estate, what's the point of trying to look sporty? Most people buy it with ordinary engines as well and it is indeed hilarious seeing somebody drive a 2. 0L 150hp diesel thinking they're sporty as hell. Not to mention you get better kit at that price for a normal version. Just make it elegant looking if you have the money, or get an Octavia vRS if you can't accept common sense.

Too bad that for some cars you can only afford the cheapest versions. Mine is in the middle range and for all the less positive points you made about the superb, in my car none of them applied. Automatic gearbox, auto parking, leavers to low the rear seats, and so on. Mine isn't the top specs model, its the 2. 0 tdi 4x4 but you you reviewed a skoda super L6K, then you would see what is a proper affordable car looks like. Oh well.

You know what's amazing about it? For 45k you can get the sport line with 280 hp, 4x4 and dsg transmission with a shitload of features (heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, heated weel, remote start for winter and a hell of a lot more, with very good interior materials and it goes from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds a bit. That is just ridiculously good value for a very practical and very capable car.

I would be really grateful if somebody could answer the following question; what material is the door padding made of, on a style (used in europe) trim, with the alcantara upholstery? In the sportsline version, I know for a fact that it is also alcantara, not quite sure about Style though. Thanks in advance, I know this isn't an easy question, but I myself just can't find any information on it.

The estate Skoda is much better looking than the awkward saloon. The extra length in the saloon gives a weird looking midriff, which is absent in the handsome estate. I reckon a lowish spec works best, since options and higher specs whittle away at the cost savings. The base model is surprisingly light too, so the 1. 4 150 ps is plenty even laden. Good for all but towing, so get a tent.

a renault talisman grand tour costs arround 10 grand less and offers more equipement, but the skoda's boot is slightly bigger therefore the renault's seats are way more comfy, adjustable and offer massage funktion. the skodas seats are quite small which make it seem to have way more legroom than other do, which is easy to achieve with such short seatroom

I own a 2018 1. 6 tdi Se 7 speed dsg and it is a fantastic car. It doesn-t however return anything near the quoted mpg figures. Around town it will achieve low 40-s at best and on motorway at 70 more like high 50-s / very low 60-s. I am an experienced driver and know how to drive economically and do not have the car packed with extra weight etc.

I work in the automotive industry and took part in developing some of the -nice- digital clusters. You're better off without one, those trusty needles and some black and white screen are more than enough and much more reliable. Thanks Skoda for not making us pay for such useless stuff.

Need a big keenly priced family wagon to shift dirty dogs, kids, cycles & other sports equipment across town or the country. Even my wife would struggle to fill this one with shopping bags regularly. We only have the dirty dogs & boating kit so our Fabia estate does just fine.
