Brand: Skoda

Recently, Clarisa Carwrong (not her real name – funnily enough), is a Gaycarboys reader with a Skoda Karoq, and a whole lot of grief. Clarisa’s barrage of abominations began when her Skoda Karoq went through its first heavy rain. Queensland, perfect one day, under water the next, is known for apocalyptic weather events and is…

the Skoda proved to be loaded with quirks. Well when I say quirks, I mean, despite the fabulous drive, it is showing faults left and right.

ŠKODA is a Volkswagen brand so is part of a group that expanded rapidly. That is a good thing with platforms and technology that can be shared across many brands. Kamiq has undergone changes here and there. Technology has been a big winner with tasty treats like Travel Assist, and wireless Apple Carplay/Android auto. Kamiq…

We recently took a quickie out-of-town break in a Skoda Kamiq Signature. Its modest proportions hide a world of wonder that slowly revealed itself like a rose on a warm spring day.

When a car company calls a model, “Style”, I worry. ŠKODA Kodiaq Style has a couple of partners in crime, the Sportline, and RS in an all-petrol line-up, and all are, funnily enough, quite stylish.

Compass and Kamiq are 2 SUVs that are similar, yet different. 1 has 4×4 and the other is front wheel drive, so is the comparison fair? In short, most SUVs, have the wit and charm of a Trump convention. They’re never challenged. Even those with capable off-road systems, never leave the tarmac. Suddenly the similarly-sized…

Kia and Hyundai have featured highly, and now ŠKODA joins the list with the Western Australia Police buying 55 ŠKODA Superb Wagons for highway patrol duty. This makes ŠKODA the first European brand to score a large scale sale by an Australian law enforcement agency.

December 2021 sees the launch of the updated Karoq. The exterior has refreshed lights. Tail lights do a welcome dance as they slowly unfold, and headlights on the top model are Matrix LED.

ŠKODA Kodiaq starts 2022 the promise of upgraded technology, and a petrol turbo for the range topping RS. The range now has no diesel options.

ŠKODA was a place where VW could build cheap cars after Soviet Union went tits-up, but ŠKODA has shed her frumpy frock, to frolic free, so meet the 2021 ŠKODA Octavia.

We drive lots of city cuties, but none has been as comfortable as ŠKODA’s Fabia. ŠKODA is a brand that oft flies under the somewhat pedestrian radars of punters. That is a great shame because ŠKODA is packed full of stuff, a hoot to drive, is has the convenience of feel-good stuff not found anywhere…

ŠKODA just recorded its best ever year in Australia so now we have 7 Year Service packs. As a special launch promotion, until December 31 the warranty is extended by 2 years, to a 7-year warranty.
