Does anyone have a Skoda Superb 280?
It would be interesting to hear how it compares to a D2 I’m strongly considering one. Looks very understated, nice and big, 4 wheel drive, reliable EA888 engine, but essentially a simple car not overbloated with stuff like post D2 8’ts. Could this be the true D2 successor (in the VAG group)? |

I think that may be the first instance in recorded history of those two terms being used in connection with each other
![]() Early versions of the Superb were based on the Passat. Have the later models grown a bit? |

I thought Gen 3 was ok? I read the older ones gen 1, gen 2, have issues. I only did basic google research so could easily be wrong. If its not reliable I’ll re-consider. I think the platform is still based on the Passat, which is considered more luxurious lol. I guess I’m way off base its not really in the same league as the A8. I just like the relative simplicity of it, not too heavy, quick, and doesn’t stand out. Last edited by Goran; 15th March 2022 at 03:54 PM. |

Gen3 might be ok, but even in the B8 they've been dire. Having seen them in bits, and seen some of the insane design decisions, I wouldn't touch one of any generation. Still, I don't trust anything made after 2005 so take that fwiw

Our Golf has the CHHA engine (PP spec EA888 gen 3) - it's generally fine, but with stupid built in faults like the water pump/thermostat housing that really should've been resolved by now.
The Superb is an odd car - friend has an estate and loves it (but then his previous car was a 58 plate Mondeo estate diesel, so the bar is VERY low!)

![]() I’m with you on that! Normally I hate turbos too, more stuff to go wrong. The other one I really want is the V8 C63, but I don’t think I can stomach £600 road tax 🤣 Seems like a nice engine from a layman’s point if view, NA, plus the version with SLS internals sounds more reliable. Quote:
Or maybe I should just keep saving for a EV eventually. |

Well, a Skoda Superb is the only car I'd ever have considered replacing Herman with (until you-know-who came along...
![]() I never drove one though, so can't comment on engines, handling etc....
