Surprisingly, I could find little about this film in the search engine. I've aquired 20 rolls and was wondering how to shoot it on my trip to NY. I tend to shoot sunny 16 rating C41 about 1 stop over (i.e. I'll rate this film at 125). What are results like shot in such a fashion? What is Superia 200's latitude? Do you have examples?

I've even had good results when exposing at 400 ISO (accidentally). It will take overexposure of course, but I am usually at 200 ISO using Sunny 16, M5/M6 inboard meter, or hand held meter. It is my main colour negative film as it's cheap here. I do like Ektar but it is more demanding and much more expensive.

This is also Christchurch NZ. I recollect I would have opened up one stop on the M6 meter reading and still the sky is nice and blue. That's Robert Falcon Scott.

I like the colours of Superia. Very versatile film.
 
I also acquired a box of several rolls expired Superia 200 recently on RFF classified. I am quite pleased with causal shooting with it at the rated box speed of 200. Its very forgiving.

I like it as well, although it's nothing unique.
It's just like any other consumer C-41 film I have shot (ISO 100-400) from both Fuji and Kodak. It has great exposure latitude, scans well, and has nice colors (even under fluorescent light).
