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 location for this [...]
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 was already great, but [...]
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 4x4 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 wagons Venn-Diagram themselves into [...]
The LGBTI car owners are as many and varied as the cars that carry them. Some prefer a single brand, some like performance, and others keenly shop for economy.
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 else.
Is 2020 ŠKODA Superb Scout the Best Value Vehicle? It is a long time since I drove a car I thought to be perfect, but ŠKODA Superb Scout comes pretty damned near to it. I’m sick of a conga-line of SUVs one after the other. Instead of a pea-soup blancmange that doesn’t know what it wants to be, Scout is the cross-over version of the family wagon that goes places. It knows exactly what it is.
