The Skoda Superb runs rings around the Volvo V70
Article taken from Autocar.co.uk.
'The Volvo V70 has been the suburban load-lugger of choice for a generation, but its supremacy is now being challenged by the Skoda Superb.
In contrast, the Superb feels as if it has been developed purely for the great British back road. Where the V70 struggles, the Superb's handling is crisp and accurate without being overly 'sporting'.
Thanks to exceptional body control, even during brisk cornering the Skoda practically surfs across broken road edges, allowing side forces to build progressively and helping the driver to flow the car along at an impressive rate.
The engine helps here too, revving freely, more like a petrol unit. The Superb also benefits from good pedal weights and shift action.
The Skoda also has exceptional interior packaging. Rear leg room is extraordinary, and it feels extremely spacious up front thanks to the wide cabin and deep footwells.
Ultimately, the Superb runs rings around the V70. The Skoda is a much more satisfying driver's car and one extraordinarily well suited to the UK's roadscape. It also offers much more passenger room and build quality that's at least the equal of the Volvo.
The fact the Skoda is also £5500 cheaper than the similarly specified V70 seals the deal.'
