Skoda inspired by Volkswagen Golf February 23, 2010
Posted by richard in : Minutiae of cars , trackbackSKODA has just launched the Superb estate to the UK press, prior to its on-sale date this Friday (26 February 2010).
Much delight from me on a brief launch visit – particularly with the value, the space, the rear legroom, the prices, the lush ride and the sublime 1.8 TSI engine.
For under £19k, it’s an utter, utter bargain. If I had a growing family, I would have one – full stop.
During the drive, though, I was amazed to find yet more to love. (If you know me, or visit here on occasion, you’ll know I’m not kidding, either).
Yes. The Skoda Superb estate has an oil temperature readout. Just like on a VW Golf GTD.
Almost as good as that, the dials do a fancy full sweep when you turn the ignition key. Just like on a VW Golf R.
It also has a rechargeable magnetic torch in the boot, that will shine a bright-white LED for 2 days non-stop. This isn’t like a VW Golf at all. But is just as car geek-pleasing.
I’d get me coat, naturally. But I lost it in the Superb’s 1865-litre boot. Ahem.
