Yes, Skoda, please make this one, because sleepers are just very cool and fit to the understated image of a Skoda. Next thing is then to make an EV estate......
My unusual brain got the jump on me with this comment, had to read it a couple of times before "dog farts" actually read correctly as dsg farts. It's a blessing and a curse.

I have a Skoda Superb 2019 2.0 TDI 4x4 Laurin & Klement. It's the largest estate car out there. And well equipped. The backseat is also the largest of all estates. Great family car. And 0-100 in 7.5s is enough for me.
When I was growing up the Audi S4 & RS4 were always these nice but normal looking cars, but with the power and capability to do anything. Sure, if you knew what to look for it was easy to see if it’s an A4 or S / RS4, but you had to know. In the last few years the S and RS4 have gotten so flashy and loud and over the top, it’s nice to see the spirit of the original living on in this Skoda.
I’m 19 years old but I love fast wagons! Just throwing bikes in the back or doing whatever, it is perfection for me. The low point of gravity etc, nothing beats a wagon in combining versatility and performance 😍🤩
What a car! As a new dad I fully back the dad spec car. Wagons for the win. And seeing it rip around the mighty Peak District is incredible. Those roads are only 5mins away from where I live. Keep up the good work sir!

@@chrisseed3911 I have road rallied around that area and the one overriding feature is the long very fast flowing downhill sections where there is a turning to the right or left at the bottom that require massive braking effort to prevent a big moment. 390mm discs and 6pots in a 1.5T car are a vital ingredient, plus a chuckable chassis.
Thumbs up 10 seconds in. I was driven around in these by the company back in 2011 and they were fantastic. My love for them has just got better over the years and seriously thinking about buying one as a daily.
Yes Skoda please build it Ricky is such the man with VAG lambo etc.He's been and still is a good hand on 2 wheels. Double Champ this year I believe. Loved that Jonny, like you A sleeper is just all thats needed.
Greetings from an certified American knob here: my first car was a Subaru G10 4x4 Wagon, fully optioned and ticking out approximately 68bhp at full spin. I 've always loved wagons(estate) and sleepers and to have 2 in 1 is a win. Pick any wash and wear wagon and tune it to a perfect balance of power, handling, comfort and reliability and tone the exterior down....... Red lights are a walk away peep show with nothing but red tailights to leave an impression. I'm with you on the SUV madness - why? Most don't drive well and are terrible on gas and maintenance. A good town and country 4x4 has it's place but not as a daily driver. Americans (and the world it seems) have ditched wagons and sensible 5 doors for stupid slabs of nothingness.

Czech pilots were too good during the Battle of England. They should have allowed Hitler to take Britain for a day or two, in that way, they would have also switched to the right side like Czechia did.
As someone from Europe, I didn't have to mirror anything because it doesn't take that much brain power to compute driving on either side of the road. Also, intended by who? Napoleon? 😂
Yes Skoda, built it. I have a 2016 SKODA SUPERB 2.0 TSI 4X4 DSG sport line remapped to 330bhp with grooved discs and ebc yellow stuff pads and it’s epic! Surprised more than a few people including Marshall’s on a Goodwood trackday…
don't buy, they are crap. I have a skoda like that but 2.0tdi dsg and a lot of problems. Up to 50k miles I was on a tow truck twice. The dsg gearbox fell apart at 50k miles.

Skoda, do it.. As a Dad, this is honestly the perfect car. Dont add stupid bodykits and shouty exhausts. Literally, a quick 4WD estate with no external bells and whistles. Dream car. Quick Volvo estates in the 90s are legendary. Skoda, join the club.
Jonny great review on the Skoda Superb 4x4 wagon, when was last in the UK in 2012 visiting my hoard of cousins in N.I. England and Scotland , i left the Newcastle area where i spent my last night on the ocean shooting the full moon, in the morning was picked up by a car i hired the night before to get to the Newcastle airport and it was a Skoda Wagon and was taken by surprise at how big it was outside and inside , it was a diesel , yet you could barely tell it was so quiet and we held a conversation at 70 mph on the motorway, i thought it was a much better car than the Passat that we get in Canada, I say yes Skoda push the button and make this happen for the 2025 model year build 500 cars and you'll sell everyone of them even with the 18k in special upgraded performance parts that are all bolt on, the crime of the whole thing is Jonny we can't get a beast of a wagon like this in Canada unless you have it built custom and it would cost twice as much to do it, simply thats what they would charge you, they're greedy bastards here, love the wagon 👍
Huge shoutout to Ricky and REPerformance. No disrespect to Jonny and I love the LBS channel but REPerformance is the only channel I literally countdown to their Tues and Fri vids. Ricky (the guru) has a great relaxed style and the walk around chats are great fun plus informative.
Fantastic review Jonny. I really enjoy watching you drive something that tickles you, and hits your quirky car appreciation. You enthusiasm came across so well. I completely agree with the estate car argument. Sadly people who drive big high class brand SUV’s are people polar opposite to the enthusiast who would appreciate the magnificence of the sleeper aspect of a this particular Superb Skoda. They want to be noticed and revered in all their pompostic “look at me” lifestyle choice. I personally love the understated. I really think more mainstream car manufacturers should do more of this super estate car niche. Even like you say the numbers they ultimately produce are few.
Johnny, your doing the Lords work with this video. Ive got a Skoda Octavia Est and I preach to any parent the virtues of an Est over the sea of SUVs. Amen! Skoda, make this car
Skoda, please, please make this. Maybe offer it as an option in the way Ford partner with Mountune to offer performance upgrades to some of their cars.
That thing looks amazing in green,looks classy but not overstated and the interior looks lovely in brown, id happily have one of these, hope skoda makes them an option in their future line up, i love suvs but love estates too for practical reasons like camping trips and mountain bike etc, what a car , Skoda's come a long way in last couple years and their cars are looking very desirable
Jonny, this has now made me regret dropping my heavily tuned, lowered, but mainly sleepered 156 sportwagon for a Greg-Spec patina'd XM. I'm having project regret. This is indeed an epic car. Thanks for sharing it you SSG
Yes Skoda Please Make This... Apart from not having enough money for this car, I love Skoda and would love to see more of these than so called SUV's on the road🙏
and this is why im clinging onto my V50 T5 manual, it might be standard with its 230bhp, but i love how unassuming it is, and how much fun it can be when you need the get a lick on.... I also grew up not far from where this video was shot, and whenever i go home i'll take an extra scenic route because the roads are amazing, whinnats pass is a stunning drive.

It is very rare that I comment on a video in here. Well done Skoda. Very well done Jonny! Great shot. Go please check 12:52 and see the camber on left rear wheel. You do get what Skoda & RE Engineering mean stealth business. What RS6 should have be is now SKODA.
I went on holiday, end of September, came back and I'm now caught up on my notifications. None from your channel. When I clicked on you tube proper this was top of my list. But now I'm up to date . I had to search for the Skoda and got high peak autos, then I had to go by that bloke who does barn finds. Phew, and I'm back. I'll check out what I've missed. But the algorithm doesn't seem to be looking after you at the minute
Yes Skoda, make it. Reminds me of the Passat W8 and early Audi S6. Some people want to have performance and don't want others to know about it. No flared arches, big grills, huge wheels & exhausts. I'd love one of these.
I bought a tsi superb by mistake. We’ve got over 60 tdi estates. I had mine modified. Currently running over 300 bhp. Soon to be 450/470. Golf R, 992 gt3 owner. It’s one of the best cars I’ve owned. Still does 550 on a tank everywhere.
I've only just sold my Skoda Superb, same model this is based on, and it's one of the best daily driver cars I've ever had. Not surprised they're even better with some modifications. I didn't get chance to modify mine due to warranty, but I would love it if Skoda made these available. Another great review Jonny.
Love this as a wagon guy. Unfortunately, I'm in the US, where the wagon is virtually dead, except for a select few high-end models, like you mentioned. Sadly, my 3.0L/6 speed E46 Touring was recently totaled by another driver's negligence. It was my daddy sports car built in my driveway. The lack of modern wagons and driving in a sea of tall vehicles has pushed me to go the SUV route, this time around. Nothing big, just an X3, but it won't be the same. Thank you for championing the wagon. I share all of your wagon content with the E46 Touring group I've been a part of for the last decade.
Skoda UK must make this surely, for one you can't beat a good estate that actually looks better than the standard car, and one like this that's been breathed on is just Superb!!
True. I suspect Shkoda wouldn't make a profit on each one sold, and it would have to be a limited number like 25 or 50.. Volkswagen lost money on the Veyron.. The latter was just a publicity drive for the marque.
Yes Skoda, please make this! I am on my second 3rd gen superb (sportline then L&K) and rave about them constantly. This would be THE perfect special edition for my next superb.
I love that Skoda, probably because I love’Q’ cars, a friend had an ex TWR jaguar saloon with a quad turbo V12, he got it up to 175mph on the German Autobahn. The wife got to test out a preproduction Ford RS Escort Cosworth, she told Ford she like it but wanted 4 doors, the following week we ended up with a Ford SVO Serria Sapphire Saloon, it had a non turbo Cosworth 2.2 litre 16v fuel injection engine, Granada 5stude steel wheels and plain hubcaps hiding disc brakes all around. It was lower, it had a small spoiler on the boot and 1.3 litre badges. In side it had a few extra holes in the dash and a six speed gearbox, and could out run a 2.8 l capri. It was fairly nippy and bid 100 mile in one hour. O what fun
@@S.1-1-1-1-1 The car was a development car that had was built as a sample vehicle from the parts bin, from memory the engine was to be used in a Serria GT. It had four Recardo bucket seats, we ended up bolting a child seat between the two back seats. The car was sat at the works gathering dust and as it had no special bespoke parts was available for disposal, the wife was doing work for them and a deal was made for us to purchase .
What a stunning car. Even more though, hats off to Skoda for having it built, in an era where we're having dull washing machine cars stuffed down our throats, Skoda says 'balls to that, let's build a mad one'. Jonny, one thing (of many) that keeps me coming back to this channel is your true enthusiasm for such a wide variety of cars; it comes across loud and clear. Props also to the production folks (again), your hard work is noticed 👏 🎉 Build it Skoda 🙏 please. I can't afford one but I can be happy knowing it exists 👍
Big up RE Performace.... they have an absolutely brilliant channel with engine builds along with fault diagnosis and fix.This is what they can do without changing engine internals...the kings of the 1000bhp plus.
Love this! That silver car waiting to come out of the junction must have thought they were seeing things when you pinned it in that haha. Something never gets old about a sleeper, especially in practical estate guise.
I knew I'd love this as soon as I recognised the location. That's a hot estate. In my warm estate, a 330i, I really needed a "late brake show" dial overlay on a recent arise and drive from Sheffield to Kidsgrove - at 5am those roads are unreal, even in 2024. Love that Skoda have done this - hopefully they'll do a load more.
Skoda im ALL in, what a beautiful car....driving the e class, i got to understand the beauty of eatates.....i got 2 portsmouth and back from manchester on 1 tank.
I've had a MkIV Supra, two E39 M5's, R35 from first month of production, and an F430 cabrio. I think this thing looks brilliant inside and out. If I move back to Europe I'm having one of these.
Yes, Skoda, build it please! Also for left hand drive! 😄 I think this form is way better than the new one! And all this mods serv the best purpose! Love it! ❤️
Wagons rule ! This is epic A Superb Touring in that green, with the brown interior, is absolute perfection ! I previously had Superb Touring, as company cars, they were soooo good ! Definitely this over an SUV. 💚💚💚💚💚
Skoda, yes please!! Build this. I had a Superb 2018 hatch L&K just like this (not estate but boot size almost identical) tuned from 272bhp to 350bhp. So, not quite the power of this car, but wow, did it surprise a few people, including Golf R owners. Pace, space, all the toys and a definite sleeper / Q-Car. Do it Skoda!!
Yes Skoda, make it please! This is spectacular, I own a 2016 Octavia vRS estate and when someone bumped into it last year I got given an "equivalent" qashqai. It was anything but, honestly worse in every possible way, I was so happy to get the Octavia back because it wiped the floor with the Nissan, more interior space, Much bigger boot, better turning circle, better all round visibility, way nicer to drive, as good if not better on fuel, the list goes on! There is no way I would consider replacing my estate with an SUV, they're compelely out classed by the good old wagon
Even if it’s just built to special order, ensuring you’re not going to be left with unwanted cars on your hands it needs to be done! Plus that green paintwork is lovely
Yes Skoda, build it! I'm currently in the market for an L&K Superb, can't decide on the hatch or estate though. The hatch has a boot easily big enough for my needs, but if mine had nearly 500bhp, I wouldn't care if it was the hatch or estate tbh! I'm with you Jonny, sleepers are great. When I was younger, the next door neighbour had a Seat Toledo V5 (remember those?), and I always thought that thing was a sleeper.
Yes, Skoda, please make this. Finally a worthy and logical successor to the mk 7 R estate that’s been lugging our young family for the last 8 years! Jonny, bravo for this one, a great watch. 👍
Owned my Superb for 12 years. 160k + miles and still I love it. Always dreamt of and RS6 (if someone bought it for me and paid the running costs!) but, wow, the sleeper is just incredible. I’m considering what to get next when mine decides it’s had enough. Hmm, if there was a sleeper available, what an option! Please Skoda, make it happen. Get really serious. Surely you know what it means to your loyal believers!
I've had two Superbs and they are........superb! For those who haven't been in one, Jonny is spot on, the space cannot be underestimated. Though lets not forgot another VAG car that doesn't get the kudos it deserves (at least over here in Aus) - The VW Arteon which replaced my last Superb. In the RLine spec it is simply a joy to drive (though the RLine badge is a frustration - its the same spec as a Golf R so why derate it VW?). Anyway, back on script - Build it Skoda. Put one over on your Audi cousins!
Yes, Skoda, please make this one, because sleepers are just very cool and fit to the understated image of a Skoda. Next thing is then to make an EV estate......
LET'S TRY AND MAKE THIS CAR BE A STRICTLY LIMITED CUSTOMER OPTION. EMAIL HEAD OF SKODA UK PR: pietro.panarisi@skoda.co.uk
Infact Skoda are building an all electric estate due out in 2027 you be pleased to know.
it already exists, just buy a stock one and then bring it to any reputable tuner (Revo, RE Performance) to swap the turbo+intercooler
Yes Skoda, I too would 100% but this over the flashy overpriced RS alternative!
No market for it for this kind of car. Won't get built. :(
Yes Skoda, build it. Estates always beat SUV’s hands down for handling and practicality.
Aussies called sleeper estates the perfect vehicle ( car !! ). They love a Fast Wagon !!!!!!
SUV’s are just plain stupid, except for a few niche use cases. Estate cars and MPV’s are way more logical…
@ lovely thing a decent estate. Wagon for our foreign friends. Even a Duster is a good tool jump in. Cheap 4x4 if really must
They couldn't build this with that engine.
@@Markking1678 They could use plenty of other spicy lumps from the VAG range though, potentially.
Don’t know if the budget has gone up, but the cinematography and production quality on this is top notch. 👌🏼
Budget still the same, but we have a top drawer team with high standards. Thank you for noticing. Means a lot.

I frickin’ love this thing. A weapon one minute, a cosseting, comfortable barge the next. It’s fabulous.
I just love that used the L&K variant as well and not the sport line.
that's actually the best part, along with the choice of green over tan!
Noo... sportline wins every time.
That era really was peak VAG ergonomics and quality. So much better than what came after in touchscreens for everything
Also noticed that! Back then the interior made more sense and had more quality

Well done Skoda.
Very well done Jonny!
Great shot. Go please check 12:52 and see the camber on left rear wheel. You do get what Skoda & RE Engineering mean stealth business.
What RS6 should have be is now SKODA.
Excellent video Johnny, yes Skoda should build this. I have a Superb estate 170hp TDI DSG and I love it, also had Passat and Octavia estates
I went on holiday, end of September, came back and I'm now caught up on my notifications.
None from your channel.
When I clicked on you tube proper this was top of my list.
But now I'm up to date .
I had to search for the Skoda and got high peak autos, then I had to go by that bloke who does barn finds.
Phew, and I'm back.
I'll check out what I've missed.
But the algorithm doesn't seem to be looking after you at the minute
Yes Skoda, make it. Reminds me of the Passat W8 and early Audi S6. Some people want to have performance and don't want others to know about it. No flared arches, big grills, huge wheels & exhausts. I'd love one of these.
Get them calipers done in black 👌
Bought a diesel octavia estate recently. Best car I've ever owned! I'm 42 BTW.
They are so cool and reliable.
Ah Winnats Pass, my old stomping grounds, I learned how to drive on those roads.
Thanks, I was trying to find out where that was filmed.
I bought a tsi superb by mistake. We’ve got over 60 tdi estates. I had mine modified. Currently running over 300 bhp. Soon to be 450/470. Golf R, 992 gt3 owner. It’s one of the best cars I’ve owned. Still does 550 on a tank everywhere.
I've only just sold my Skoda Superb, same model this is based on, and it's one of the best daily driver cars I've ever had. Not surprised they're even better with some modifications. I didn't get chance to modify mine due to warranty, but I would love it if Skoda made these available. Another great review Jonny.
I love the roads you tested on. There's are the roads I grew up driving on. Between chapel/castelton/sparrowpit
They used to bring jags to road test up rushup edge from chapel to winnets pass .
Is it Buxton way? Looks nice
@benjimc1 about 5 or so miles from Buxton yeah
@@benjimc1 Most of the pretty shots are from Winnats Pass and the roads just above it around Rushup Edge and Mam Tor.
@@rikaus9273 appreciate it guys
What a car. I’d love one if I could afford one.
Great video. The hills in the backdrop looked amazing!!!
Winnats Pass, Derbyshire.

He has a good YT channel
@ yeah I’m subscribed 👍 for the technical knowledge but also the banter
Thanks lads
Totally addicted the RE Performance RUclips channel also love the LBS and SS podcast. 100 times better than regular TV content.
@@REPerformanceUK No worries bud
OMG take my money! What an absolute weapon, practical and is "under the radar" absolutely brilliant! Come on skoda, get it on the market!
Love this as a wagon guy. Unfortunately, I'm in the US, where the wagon is virtually dead, except for a select few high-end models, like you mentioned. Sadly, my 3.0L/6 speed E46 Touring was recently totaled by another driver's negligence. It was my daddy sports car built in my driveway. The lack of modern wagons and driving in a sea of tall vehicles has pushed me to go the SUV route, this time around. Nothing big, just an X3, but it won't be the same. Thank you for championing the wagon. I share all of your wagon content with the E46 Touring group I've been a part of for the last decade.
Yes Please Skoda, make this. What a cool awesome motor.
Well done Skoda, and of course Ricky @ RE Performance. Well done 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
Skoda UK must make this surely, for one you can't beat a good estate that actually looks better than the standard car, and one like this that's been breathed on is just Superb!!
True.
I suspect Shkoda wouldn't make a profit on each one sold, and it would have to be a limited number like 25 or 50..
Volkswagen lost money on the Veyron..
The latter was just a publicity drive for the marque.
Genius! What an epic thing, good looking too. Love the embedded TLBS logo in the video too
I'd love to have this for daily use.
I don't see any embedded logo are on any prescription medication? 😂
Shameful, im guessing not private, closed roads, so yes definitely bring to everyone’s attention you seem to be openly braking the speed limit.
@@DaleSteel Take a look at any shots of the dash that might reveal the speed he was doing!
@grilnam9945 shut up you mug
Yes Skoda, please make this! I am on my second 3rd gen superb (sportline then L&K) and rave about them constantly. This would be THE perfect special edition for my next superb.
Yes Skoda - BUILD IT!!!! As a life-long estate car fan, this is right up my street. What a car!
I love that Skoda, probably because I love’Q’ cars, a friend had an ex TWR jaguar saloon with a quad turbo V12, he got it up to 175mph on the German Autobahn. The wife got to test out a preproduction Ford RS Escort Cosworth, she told Ford she like it but wanted 4 doors, the following week we ended up with a Ford SVO Serria Sapphire Saloon, it had a non turbo Cosworth 2.2 litre 16v fuel injection engine, Granada 5stude steel wheels and plain hubcaps hiding disc brakes all around. It was lower, it had a small spoiler on the boot and 1.3 litre badges. In side it had a few extra holes in the dash and a six speed gearbox, and could out run a 2.8 l capri. It was fairly nippy and bid 100 mile in one hour. O what fun
Ford SVO?
@ Fords Special Vehicle Operation unit, they developed and prototyped none standard vehicles
@@Ashworth-Media And why would they build a car for your wife?
@@S.1-1-1-1-1 The car was a development car that had was built as a sample vehicle from the parts bin, from memory the engine was to be used in a Serria GT. It had four Recardo bucket seats, we ended up bolting a child seat between the two back seats. The car was sat at the works gathering dust and as it had no special bespoke parts was available for disposal, the wife was doing work for them and a deal was made for us to purchase .
Dean on saving salvage is building something like this
Dean is daza swapping, Ricky built this and tuned it
Yep, Deans putting an RS3 DAZA engine into a lighter Octavia estate. It’s gonna be brilliant for sure 👌👍
@@iankelleher5072 what part of something is lost on you?
But;....will he finish it?
New ‘Sycamore Gap’ applicant… 0:53
Needs a Harambe tribute
What a stunning car. Even more though, hats off to Skoda for having it built, in an era where we're having dull washing machine cars stuffed down our throats, Skoda says 'balls to that, let's build a mad one'.
Jonny, one thing (of many) that keeps me coming back to this channel is your true enthusiasm for such a wide variety of cars; it comes across loud and clear. Props also to the production folks (again), your hard work is noticed 👏 🎉
Build it Skoda 🙏 please. I can't afford one but I can be happy knowing it exists 👍
Big up RE Performace.... they have an absolutely brilliant channel with engine builds along with fault diagnosis and fix.This is what they can do without changing engine internals...the kings of the 1000bhp plus.
0:16 Scodar estate car?
It’s from the same creators as the FIÀT Pandar
That’s what the UK call em, in the US they call them “Station Wagon” or just “Wagon” and in Europe it’s “Kombi”
@ in Germany it’s called Kombi!
I haven’t call kombi to a single estate
@@tacodias He says scodar, I know what the right word is
@@tacodias The way he pronounces the word is very interesting
Love this! That silver car waiting to come out of the junction must have thought they were seeing things when you pinned it in that haha.
Something never gets old about a sleeper, especially in practical estate guise.
I knew I'd love this as soon as I recognised the location. That's a hot estate. In my warm estate, a 330i, I really needed a "late brake show" dial overlay on a recent arise and drive from Sheffield to Kidsgrove - at 5am those roads are unreal, even in 2024. Love that Skoda have done this - hopefully they'll do a load more.
I'm a long term Skoda Estate fan. Please build this.❤
Skoda im ALL in, what a beautiful car....driving the e class, i got to understand the beauty of eatates.....i got 2 portsmouth and back from manchester on 1 tank.
I had a L&K 190 diesel 4x4. It was a beast of a machine. Only went back to a VW T6 as I needed the space.
I understand that Skoda will not be building these, but that Ricky at RE Performance is thinking about doing it himself, great Vlog,
That's a great episode Jonny.....and.....
YES Skoda! Pleeeeeeeese make this one
Yes Skoda, please build it.
I've got an Octavia VRS, so can only imagine how good this must be!
I've had a MkIV Supra, two E39 M5's, R35 from first month of production, and an F430 cabrio. I think this thing looks brilliant inside and out. If I move back to Europe I'm having one of these.
Jonny, I second your comments about SUVs. The only reason someone would choose one over an estate car is vanity.
Yes, Skoda, build it please! Also for left hand drive! 😄 I think this form is way better than the new one! And all this mods serv the best purpose! Love it! ❤️
Wagons rule !
This is epic
A Superb Touring in that green, with the brown interior, is absolute perfection !
I previously had Superb Touring, as company cars, they were soooo good !
Definitely this over an SUV.
💚💚💚💚💚
Skoda, yes please!! Build this.
I had a Superb 2018 hatch L&K just like this (not estate but boot size almost identical) tuned from 272bhp to 350bhp. So, not quite the power of this car, but wow, did it surprise a few people, including Golf R owners.
Pace, space, all the toys and a definite sleeper / Q-Car.
Do it Skoda!!
Yes Skoda, make it please! This is spectacular, I own a 2016 Octavia vRS estate and when someone bumped into it last year I got given an "equivalent" qashqai. It was anything but, honestly worse in every possible way, I was so happy to get the Octavia back because it wiped the floor with the Nissan, more interior space, Much bigger boot, better turning circle, better all round visibility, way nicer to drive, as good if not better on fuel, the list goes on! There is no way I would consider replacing my estate with an SUV, they're compelely out classed by the good old wagon
Even if it’s just built to special order, ensuring you’re not going to be left with unwanted cars on your hands it needs to be done! Plus that green paintwork is lovely
My Skoda was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. They simply have to make this car. Practical and bonkers at the same time. Love it
👌top-notch editing and content, why you don't have 5M followers escapes me Jonny! well done mate!!
Oh how I want this car. I absolutely love Sleeper cars, they win my heart everytime.
Yes Skoda, build it! I'm currently in the market for an L&K Superb, can't decide on the hatch or estate though. The hatch has a boot easily big enough for my needs, but if mine had nearly 500bhp, I wouldn't care if it was the hatch or estate tbh! I'm with you Jonny, sleepers are great. When I was younger, the next door neighbour had a Seat Toledo V5 (remember those?), and I always thought that thing was a sleeper.
Just returned from Pragua, Skoda and VW wagons are the most popular cars there. Really nice cars.
That looks like an excellent sleeper.
I once had a skoda yeti and it drove better than my golf gti
Yes, Skoda, please make this. Finally a worthy and logical successor to the mk 7 R estate that’s been lugging our young family for the last 8 years! Jonny, bravo for this one, a great watch. 👍
Owned my Superb for 12 years. 160k + miles and still I love it. Always dreamt of and RS6 (if someone bought it for me and paid the running costs!) but, wow, the sleeper is just incredible. I’m considering what to get next when mine decides it’s had enough. Hmm, if there was a sleeper available, what an option! Please Skoda, make it happen. Get really serious. Surely you know what it means to your loyal believers!
I've had two Superbs and they are........superb! For those who haven't been in one, Jonny is spot on, the space cannot be underestimated.
Though lets not forgot another VAG car that doesn't get the kudos it deserves (at least over here in Aus) - The VW Arteon which replaced my last Superb. In the RLine spec it is simply a joy to drive (though the RLine badge is a frustration - its the same spec as a Golf R so why derate it VW?). Anyway, back on script - Build it Skoda. Put one over on your Audi cousins!
