Great Car
My wife bought a demo skoda kodiaq with the virtual dash and its a beautiful car. Drives really well (actually felt way better than the tiguan we considered) and is good on fuel and has an amazing array of handy inclusions (umbrellas, luggage holders, kids device holders etc) and looks great too. Compared to the other euro's on offer the skoda was amazing value. We've only had the car for a month, so hopefully we get a great run out of it (only time will tell).
Purchased in January 2021 at Skoda Artarmon for A$37,500.00.

- Verified purchase
It's ok but some things are really annoying.
We had to upgrade our VW Tiguan due to size as our 3 kids had gotten much to tall for our smaller SUV.
We couldnt wait until the new 7 seater Tiguan came out so we decided on the 7 seater Kodiaq. The other car we were looking at was the Hyundai but we felt the Kodiaq had a better quality build.
We upgraded to the luxury and tech pack to include all the computer driving assistance stuff and leather seats. We also added the tow ball.
For information, I drive approx 500kms/week.
I've had this car for over 6 months now and I have found...

- can be quick enough and zippy, especially in sports mode - we live in Nth Qld so the seat coolers are awesome in our hot weather - plenty of room for all of our family, plus luggage, plus the dog - for the size of car it is reasonably fuel economical - the blankets and torch kept in the boot have come in handy - long warranty The Bad stuff: - I just can't get over how ergonomically incorrect this car is for me. Perhaps my legs are too short or something but the way the seat goes or the size of the pedals or something puts strain on my right leg as I have to lift it too and from the accelerator and brake pedal each time, which then gives me a sore back. I cannot find a place where I am comfortable at all. This is the biggest downfall of this car for me. My husband doesn't have this issue, he is much taller than me. - the stupid cup holders are only able to hold the teeniest cups on the planet. No cups or water bottles I own fit into them. This applies to the rear cupholders as well that the kids use, they end up throwing their water bottles on the floor as there is no where else for them to go - the lane assist. I have experienced the same thing in my husbands Golf so I guess it is not limited to this car only, but if you are on cruise control and a slower car pulls off to the left to turn, my car will also brake and slow down. Same if a slower car is travelling in the right hand lane, you dont just cruise past. You look down at the speedo and you also have slowed as it has sensed the car in the slow lane. - in all the time we've had the car I've only managed to be able to open the tailboot with the wave of the foot feature twice, no matter how often we have tried. - the door protectors in the rear doors are already out of alignment and have scratched the inside of the door frame of the car (according to the service centre this is a common fault) - there is only 1 usb charger in the car and that is in the front right next to the wireless charger. So the kids have to run a long usb cord from the front to the back to charge their devices... one at a time = fighting = annoying. For me, once the eldest child no longer needs to travel with us I will have no hesitation to go back to the 5 seater VW as soon as possible.

Does the Skoda Kodiaq live up to all it’s good reviews
We bought a my18 Kodiaq with the launch pack, panoramic glass roof and with moon white paintwork. The car is just on 12 months old and just had the first service completed. The two litre four cylinder engine produces 132 kw, but what gives this vehicle good power is the 320nm of torque which is available from 1,400 - 3,940 rpm. This power band is very similar to what Diesel engines deliver. So as a consequence, the Kodiaq has great tractability. The features and practabilty of this SUV are well documented in many motoring reviews. We have found...Read more
this vehicle to be very comfortable and rides and handles more like a car then a normal SUVs. On the economy side we are averaging 8.6 l/100km around the suburbs and short trips to the country see the economy around 7 l/100km. Skoda cars are reknown for their well thought out designs and the Kodiaq is a perfect example. Reliability has been perfect with no issues to date. I have or had three other Skodas (2 x Diesel Superbs and 1 x Fabia hatch) since 2009 and nothing whatsoever has failed or stopped working on any of them. I have owned many cars over the years and I’m really impressed with the Skoda brand over my nine years of ownership. WeSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

How are the brakes lasting.
1 answer
Hi Travis
The car has only done about 18,000km. So no problems so far. I’m pretty kind on my cars brakes and don’t expect any issues below 50k. My last two Superbs had no issues whatsoever. The first was a 2009 125TDI front wheel drive sedan and I sold it with just under 70k on clock and the brakes easily passed the RWC test. The second was a 4x4 Superb Outdoor 125TDI wagon which was sold at around 26k again with no issues. So based on recent history I don’t expect anything different. The Kodiaq is a brilliant SUV and has been performing just as I expected.
