280 PS 4x4 Laurin & Klement hatchback

A bit of a sleeper

It's an odd one, the Superb. It sort of looks like a VW model but has little design touches to make it feel a bit different.
The interior is massive and the leather in cream looks and feels costly.
So many electrical toys that you wonder what will start to go wrong when the warranty ends.
The 2.0 turbo puts out 276 bhp and it sure can shift this big car when it needs to.
Most of the time it wafts along serenely with its DSG box.
An early use average of 29 mpg is an indication that it won't be particularly fuel efficient.
The legroom is ALL you could ever want, especially in the back.
The boot is enormous, I strained my back trying to reach a bag located at the back of the seats!

I love its fairly bland anonymous looks despite the power it hides under them.
Things to change? The first owner spec'd 19" alloys. They look nice but I don't think they do anything for the ride even with the help of the adjustable dampers.
