Skoda Superb Estate Owners opinions
Discussion
My son has the Superb Estate 190 Sportline as he needed a car that could take 2 or even 3 adults and 2 child seats with a large amount of boot space for pushchairs etc. It can do all that and is fairly quick for a large estate car. Interior looks and feels quite plush and externally, to me, looks as good as an Audi A4 or A6, if not better.
He was originally looking at getting an SUV but when we saw the Superb, it really was no contest. They were even raving about the car on Top Gear recently.

I've just swapped a 2015 Touareg R line 3 litre diesel for a 2016 Superb L&K 280 estate. Fast, comfy, plenty of space and loaded with kit.
So far I'm getting around 35mpg - pretty good for a big petrol estate car that does 0-60 in under 6 seconds.
I had a BMW 5 series estate (E61) a few years ago. The Superb compares favourably with that.

Great car for those unbothered by badges and like an estate over a SUV.
+Massive room in the back for >6 foot kids.
+Loads of luggage space.
+++Metal springs - (previous audi allroad owner - mentally scarred)
We have the not that common diesel 4x4 variant. It's not fun as such.
But it's quick enough and surprisingly easy to park for something this long.
Costs - 7 years. 80k+ miles - just full set of fluids and services, + one failed water pump.
Quite a few tires but no rims due to 18s and pothole/road edge sidewall traumas.
The right tires for the heavier 4x4 aren't cheap so this gets old.
It can run out of luggage weight before it runs out of space. Don't think you'll put a roof box on if you fill the entire loadbay with wine for example.
Long term >50mpg on the MFD for leisurely motorway/A-road work. Less at 85m/130k or if you cane it obvs. When warmed up. Not so great for short runs.
2012 has no adblue, no dpf etc.EU4 - simples. More recent used will have variations some good, some not. If buying now I'd want petrol and 4x4 for where we live.

A Superb Estate 140 has been our family waggon of choice for the last 5 years, brought new when Skoda use to offer 0% deals.
It is huge, nothing for the money comes close apart from a van. 57k on the clock and the plan is to run it in to the ground 150-200K. Realistically probably will replace with another, the A6 and E class estates are lovely but 10-20K more to buy, that’s a toy fund.
View it as every bit is tried and tested Audi/VW parts bin.
Thinking about chipping at the moment???
Any queries/questions drop me a line
