IT’S SOMETIMES SAID that space is a luxury, and it’s certainly one of the things we’re used to paying big money for. A larger home? Expensive. Extra leg room on a plane? Expensive. However, there’s an exception to the rule that having more will cost you more: the Skoda Superb Estate.
Adjectives used to describe this car’s predecessor included ‘gigantic’, ‘ginormous’ and ‘gargantuan’, and the latest model is fractionally bigger again. However, the Superb has always been very competitively priced – another thing that remains the case.
Indeed, its £36,165 starting price undercuts that of the closely related Volkswagen Passat by more than £2000. And while you can have a Peugeot 508 SW for the same sort of money or a Toyota Corolla Touring Sports for less, neither of those cars is as practical.
