Skoda Superb Wagon wins bronze


In fact, it's better than just plain good.  The Czech wagon is cavernous inside, is incredibly flexible, good to drive, well up on safety and ideal for family work.

It also has the sort of thoughtful touches - an umbrella tucked into the back door and a clip-out torch in the boot - that will bring people back and have them bragging to their friends.

A starting price of $40,990 makes the Czech car a wonderful deal, and even the fully-loaded Elegance turbodiesel lists for less than $50,000.

The only negatives for the Superb are the unproven Skoda brand - which is still struggling for traction in Australia, even though it's part of the quality Volkswagen Group - and a driving experience which is a touch down on the class standard.
