The sweet spot would be getting the Skoda Kamiq instead. Bigger, better equipped, longer warranty and for the same price as the 5 year service pack you'll get 7 years coverage instead.

That's what I thought and moved from VW to Skoda. I was wrong, the aftersales service with both brands is shocking.

This seems to be the first car for a lot of inner east kids, not sure many people on their 2nd 3rd or 4th vehicle are snapping them up. You wouldn't progress from a golf or polo to something like this as the build quality just isn't there. As others have said Kamiq is a far better proposition both financially and practically

With a 18% price increase on the mid spec model, and a 55% increase on the 5 year maintenance plan, this vehicle cannot present great value. The Skoda Kamiq offers far greater value with a 7 year warranty. No mention of significant warranty issues with the DSG gearbox and premature brake pad wear. You have to be stupid to spend money on this car (thanks Mara).😂

Always annoys me how all these cars have such small fuel tanks...40l? Effectively 35l can be put in, giving a driving range of 450km in real life. Meaning a servo visit every week....so annoying
@johnlaine26543 ай бұрын
Having read your comment I have to disagree with you as to range from the 40 litre tank.I have a 2021 T Cross style and regularly fill when almost empty. Usually it will take 38 litres with several still in the tank. Range various from around 540Klms to 650klms.I live in western Sydney and trips vary from suburban driving to highway runs. I have gotten as low as 4.6 litresPer 100 kilometres..averages around 6.7-6.8 . Yes it could have a bigger tank but it’s average for this size vehicle.
@sidjyothi3 ай бұрын
@@johnlaine2654 you shouldn’t fill up with the tank so low. It’s bad for the fuel pump. The fuel pump needs to be immersed in petrol all the time so that it runs cool and performs efficiently. This is asking for trouble. Hence for petrol cars the stated fuel tank size will need to have 5-8L taken off cos that is needed to keep the fuel pump submerged.
@johnlaine26543 ай бұрын
@@sidjyothi Thanks, I know that but when you’ve retired and money is important,I try only to fill up when down to about a quarter tank but Price cycles here tend to be at their lowest when the tank is almost showing empty. Our prices here can vary up to 30 cents a litre at the top of the Petrol price cycle.That can mean about a $12-$14 difference when filling up.Thank you for taking the time to reply.
