Great review. Just grabbed a 2017 1.4tsi. Had 5 kids and a verso for 10 years. Learned a few new bits about portlaoise too. Loved the outtake thoughts. Keep it up, new subscriber.
Bought one last August based on the 50 reviews which say it’s the best all rounder in its category. Even the low-spec €40k has plenty of tech if you go for the 150hp engine. Will likely keep for 3-6-10 years unless Tesla Y comes in at a good price!
These cars are very popular here in Poland, if I did not have a Seat van with 7 seats and this engine already it would be one to check. Thnx for the info re mozarella. My recent pizzas with Irish cheddar were a blast, will see if I can find the ‘rella
Hi Bob yeah I bought the same car in moon white metallic with all the extras but you seem to have the belero system there which is glitchy where as I upgraded to the Columbus 9.2 and don’t get any problems with the wireless apple car play! I had the superb before it so happy out there great cars the skoda over all.
Bob, always a pleasure to hear your opinions on cars. Always right. However I must respectfully suggest that the rear seats on this lovely vehicle render it NOT the best 7 seater family car at all. I desperately wanted one and the third row legroom is laughable. I hate disagreeing with you, I feel like Ive punched a kitten!
I really like the Kodiak. Far more than any other VW SUV. However it is from the VW family and I can't forgive them for their criminal dishonesty that has demonised and virtually collapse the diesel car market, for new and used. Which is why I decided on a Kia Sorento. Is the Kia actually a better car than the Sorento, which you really liked a few weeks ago? I would put it at a fairly distant second. The Kia is a Volvo XC90 class car at a Skoda price in my opinion. The Skoda does have a much wider range of specifications and price to suit more people's budget of course.
150 BHP for a car this size is like feeding Hercules via a straw. And for 200 BHP car costing nearly 60,000 Euros, I would consider Korean ones which comes with a much longer warranty or German Brands.
The better question for owners in top spec form with a few options is very expensive now , so the better question with so much room would people choose the enyaq instead as there both massive but the cost of running will be the big difference do you really need them last to child seats?
That was a deal breaker for me. Anyone with kids under 10 (who have friends) them extra seats make all the difference. Plus the Enyaq is getting very “meh” reviews from the UK
Its a very underwhelming suv/estate..very underpowered too...saw a few of them in a car park...in no.way did they stand out...jst basically looked like your average every day estate's...its supposed to be competing against the big boys ..bmw x5 audi q7 vw touraeg..and so on ..but it jst doesn't..due to its 2litre engine...plain interior and controls and displays.....all it has going for it is its a good 7 seater..
Love that colour. Great to see Skoda are still supplying a spare wheel.
You don't know you need a spare wheel until you need a spare wheel

Great review Bob. now all I need is 50k & 5 kids to justify this. Great car.
Just have three kids and keep the change
I love this car so much!! Beautiful design and very good at carrying things while also moving your family/pets. Great car
Great review Bob. Super car. Full stop. 😃
Great video 👌 thank you.
As always a great, informative and well presented review Bob.
Thanks Adrian!
Great review Bob, a wonderful car that is extremely under-rated.
Great Video Bob.. I Have A 2019 Karoq 1.5tsi DSG . Its Amazing.. Brilliant Motor.. Thanks Skoda..!
OOOHHH Bob's uploading in 4k now........
The perfect model the old outside with the new stearing wheel ❤
Best all round car in its class for me Bob.
Looking forward to the facelift of the Kodiaq especially with at last a petrol VRS

Good review as normal Bob . Hit all the main points.
SUVs are getting more expensive as time goes on. Nice looking Skoda SUV
Ticks all the boxes and agree with the comments the colour really suits it. Thanks for the review Bob.
Great Review Bob...I ha e this car except its in pearl black...and it's a great vehicle. .Does everything it needs to do. .👍👍
Nice one bob love skoda great machines
Great work as always!! Highlander or Kodiaq has to be 4x4 money no problem. Which would you choose?
These cars are very popular here in Poland, if I did not have a Seat van with 7 seats and this engine already it would be one to check. Thnx for the info re mozarella. My recent pizzas with Irish cheddar were a blast, will see if I can find the ‘rella
Nice. Probably get a Citigo in the boot or on the roof!
Good review ...... too expensive for my bank balance 😳 . Any news / latest on the new Renault Kadjar ,

My trucks brought a good bit of the material for the foundations of that mozzarella plant...and a lot of the asphalt around it.

Lovely review Bob, great car. I buy 1200kg of mozzarella a year for my restaurant for the pizzas, so I guess some of it comes from there!
On subject PHEVs I was just reading that eu are stopping manufacturers offsetting them against co2/nox as they are sometimes worse,due 2025

I'll be changing to this next year. Had enough with FORD.
what problems have you had with Ford?
Didn't think you knew my sister Bob! 🤭
Any update on the new one Bob.

weren't all manufacturers up to the same tricks, it's just that the VW group were the first ones that got caught out?
How does this fair against the Seat Teracco?
Don’t know if I missed you saying this but what trim is this?
Sportline

And how many dacia duster they're is they are everywhere
This (as almost any Škoda model) excels in three areas: practicality, efficiency and boredom. :)
You actually need see badge now to tell difference in some cars
200hp or 190hp?
U didn't even sit in third RAW! Why did u name this film that way?
How many inches are the wheels on the vehicle you’re driving please ?
Do you still want to know?
Incase 3 years later you still want to know they’re 19 inch
This is not the 2021 facelift version
Didn't know people drive on the left in Belgium?
This Is filmed in Ireland :)
i would get one if it had a bigger engine... needs 300hp minimum
The new one has just been launched so why is every car reviewer , reviewing this model again is beyond me it’s been out for four years ?
I think I'd opt for the Toracco, just because I think it's nicer looking
Please Dont Say, This Is 7 Seat Family Vehicle. 3rd Row For Only Chilrens Below 12 Year Old. Rest 5 Seat For Adults.

Left lane driving soooo confusing
A much better car than the vulgar oversized Toyota Highlander, grey primer is an awful colour though!
Wow... A spare wheel. Lindy lou.
So where's your latest SKODA KODIAQ video? Skoda are not making fucking cars during this Covid bullshit|?
The doors are so heavy and difficult to open, especially for women. It's badly designed!
Orange iqo hmmmm
