        Unfortunately, due to my physical disability, I needed to go from my previous car, a sedan, to an SUV because of my inability to get out of the sedan's low seating position. Ended up buying a Tucson, as anything smaller, wouldn't fit my wheelchair in it. cx3 etc Yet my 2011 VW Jetta had easily enough room in the boot for my wheelchair when folded. Trust me, I was getting 20% more mileage from a tank of petrol with 10% less fuel capacity. Kinda sucks.

        We've had one for almost three years but the 1.5l Limited version, it's a brilliant car which is bigger on the inside than the outside suggests. It's higher than a hatchback, but not really an SUV and is most often described along with it's VW T-Cross sibling as a cross-over, so more than a hatch, but less than an SUV.

    • jazzza on 14/02/2024 - 14:14

      It's because every car with raised ground clearance is labeled as a SUV. Especially the smaller SUVs aren't considered SUVs to the original definition as they don't have off-road capabilities.

      The Skoda Scala is the non SUV version, it's more fun to drive has better fuel economy and still a great size for a small car.

      We had a 2020 Kamiq, it was a fantastic car, amazing legroom too. I am 195cm and had room in front of my knees with the front row seats pushed all the way back. It was punchy in the lower gears and turned on a dime. All the bells & whistles tech and feature wise. Great car but we outgrew it when the second bub came along and upgraded to a 2023 Tiguan Allspace.

          Love it! Ideally we wanted a 7 seat sized vehicle with 5 seats to accommodate a double pram + all of the other shit you need to bring for 2 under 2, so we have seats 6+7 folded down…with the bootliner you don't notice them. Wife is Dutch (therefore tall) as am I, we are both reasonably comfy in the front row with 2 rear facing baby seats. Even with a full load onboard it still rides nice and the 2L turbo pulls hard. IIRC we paid about $55k for the 2L petrol + luxury pack…there was a deal on. Any other Qs just PM me.

      Had a second hand fabia I drove all over Europe and had for several years, 2 tyres and a new battery, usual filters and oil change was the only maintenance issues a I experienced. Bet you’ve never even driven one. My experience they’re great and when I was there all the taxi drivers had an Octavia, so everyone knew they were a solid reliable brand. Would certainly have one over a VW, they share many parts, but Skoda’s are way more reliable.

      • ExtraSalt on 14/02/2024 - 17:47

        I have an Octavia RS Wagon fully optioned. It’s a fantastic car, COVID-tax made it ~$10k more than I wanted to spend.

        I was in the market looking at the WRX Sportswagon and VW Passat. I liked the Passat size but wanted something closer to the Audi RS fittings so it didn’t feel so old. The Octavia filled that void and storage space. Omg storage for days in that thing.

            @onlinepred: That was my only real gripe about owning one, the AV system would just randomly reset itself mid journey. Skoda techs couldn't explain and were not able to access a firmware update. Besides that happening (infrequently) it was great, the wireless Carplay and wireless charging were great.

          Had my 2011 Jetta for just under 10 years and only had 2 problems that were fixed quickly under warranty. It was an overly juddering gearbox, oh and it lost all power once in the middle of peak-hour traffic. that was a huge issue with VW. Once that was rectified absolutely brilliant 1.4 supercharged/turbo-charged engine. Averaged under 6 litres per 100kms and punchy off the line.

      I mean - we have two Skoda's currently, that we've had for about a decade, one was subject to the DSG recall and was fixed under that with the required extension on warranty for the mechatronics. The other has just been going since we got it - the worst we've had was a spark-plug replacement.
      Had a Skoda for five years before that as well which we traded to upgrade.

      Probably the most reliable cars we've ever had fwiw. Neither of them the models they're referencing in those videos but then, as you point out, neither is the one in the OP here.

    I purchased one of these used about 6 months ago, its a surprisingly good car. The 1l turbo engine has enough torque to feel zippy yet hybrid level of fuel economy currently averaging 6.8l/100km over 3000 kms.

    It also sounds pretty good with the three litre engine, I also test drove the 4 cylinder 1.5 and that sounded like nothing. The only thing that annoys me is that the base model has torson beam suspension which is ok, whereas the 1.5 engine ones get independent which does make the ride feel much nicer.

    Also annoying is the stop/start system feels like the engine is starting again not as smooth as my parents qashqai stop/start that you cant even notice it doing it.

    Other then that I feel like its a much cheaper alternate to like a hybrid corolla cross or hybrid kona which both sound gruff when pushed, whereas this car has torque and sounds pretty good. Also the fact that the speedo is digital on the base car is pretty cool, dials look outdated these days!

      I've got both a Skoda Kamiq (2020) and a BYD ATTO 3 (2022). Love both of them, haven't had any issues with either. Got the Kamiq because of the Audi engine and great fuel economy (5L/100km), also because I prefer SUVs. Still keeping it as the range is a lot higher than the BYD.

      I havent had any issues with my kamiq, I quite like the engine and it runs really smoothly with the 7 spd dual clutch. Those issues probably start after 100,000kms and you have the 5 year warranty anyway. Its much better than like a naturally aspirated 2l that sound gruff when going up hills etc, plus this gets way better fuel economy.

          Agree, this makes it 2014-level spec. Such a good name, as they literally "ran out" of parts.

          I know someone who bought the top level badge Kamiq, but with the missing features my base-level Subaru is larger, cheaper and better-spec'ed.

        I had a rental with lane assist recently, drove me absolutely bananas and tried to yank the car into the curb on multiple occasions as some shiny asphalt repairs confused it into thinking I’d left the lane.

        Then I discovered I could only disable it before I started the car, and had to do it before I drove the car every. damn. time.

        IMO the loss of that feature isn’t a loss.
