REVIEW – Skoda Superb Sportline Hatch
SCORE – 47/50. The Superb Sportline is sleek and executive, yet the sporty touches are there if you look hard enough. And this 280PS Skoda Superb looks identical (badges and all) to the 1.4-litre TSI and 2.0-litre TDI. And that makes it the ultimate sleeper car. Other motorists, beware.
