Great review, Andrew. Thinking about one of these. (And Poppy is cute!!).

I bought the LE version of this car and I’m in love. I note that the jerky start took only a little getting used to and then it was fine. I felt this was due to the dual-clutch transmission… it takes a moment to get into gear initially.

It’s a fantastic car Looks great and the Monte Carlo in that spec with options is very premium etc Not budget & basic U get what u pay for Not everyone needs a large vehicle So spending up to / around $ 40 k for a highly equipped version of these compact SUV is very popular nowadays. New versions of Kamiq just been launched in Australia From $ 30 k to $ 40 k U get a choice of models.

39k aussie dollars isn't too bad when you consider this spec is 40k in euro. Crazy prices for what would have been a 25k small family car only a few years ago.

As mentioned in another comment below the glass roof is not ideal for the Australian summers, so much so the salesperson at the Skoda dealership we test drove one at advise us not to get one…”Great driving through the city (Sydney) at night but other than that I wouldn’t recommend one” …his word not ours. After taking it for a test drive ( it’s a great little car to drive) and weighing up the options out there my partner ended up going for a Kia Seltos sports plus.

I’ve got this model, the sun blind is more then effective, it also has a slight tint, not just privacy glass.

Warning the fabia, rapid and kamiq Monte Carlo’s all have a fixed non opening panoramic glass roof. They are greenhouses on wheels.

Why is Skoda still giving out MY20 review units. If you buy a MY21 you miss out on the cooled glovebox, boot torch and the extra shopping bag hooks. You do get a much nicer steering wheel. I’ve got an MY21 Monte Carlo with Travel Pack, I would highly recommend it particularly if you were considering a T-Cross or even a T-Roc, the interior is so much nicer then the latter despite costing $8000 less.
