Re: Carfile?

Has anyone used Carfile to purchase a new car from? Any downfalls? I've never used them, but they've been around for about 30 years, and always seem to get good reviews in the motoring press - plenty of stuff online about them if you Google them. As with all reputable brokers, you don't pay any mon...

Re: PCP or Cash?

I just had a test drive in the Karoq SE L 1.5 Petrol DSG and was very impressed. I'm taking a test-drive in the 1.5 Petrol Edition this week to see how the larger tyres impact on the ride comfort. Has anyone directly compared these two rides? I told the dealer I'd be P/Exing my current car and payi...

I presume you pre-ordered as I did with Kodiaq, which I ordered on 22nd December 2016. picked up on launch day 6th April 2017.
Ordered it on 5th October, just like your Kodiak a pre-order, and then collection on launch day!

Yes, I love the colour. Wife's choice, and guess what? - she doesn't like it in the flesh/metal.....

My 1.5 TSI SE L on the drive!

My 1.5 TSI SE L on the drive! Shame it's been wet and gloomy since I picked it up, but it's sunny smiles inside the car....

Really like the Capuccino Beige, thankfully not too beige (looks more of a tungsten shade to me?).

Re: Spacesaver spare wheel

quote: "According to the handbook, the temporary spare wheel should only be used to get to the nearest garage...," Do you mean the 215/60 R16 ? But the 125/70 R18 presumably isn't "standard size" either - otherwise what is the "full size" option. So I still don't see t...

Re: Spacesaver spare wheel

Still confused. The latest brochure option list now shows the SE L and Edition models can have either: "temporary steel space saver spare wheel ..... 215/60 R16 £150" or "steel space saving spare wheel ....125/70 R18 £150 " But still no decent explanation of the practical differ...

Re: Just ordered from UK

Hi all good to meet you virtually! Having a test drive next week with my local dealer so will see how that goes - deposit was "subject to test drive"... I have driven the Kodiaq which was great so hoping the Karoq will be similar. Lead time quoted for my car is 8-10 weeks. The Karoq shoul...
