Me too. For a couple of months now I've been getting about 2 updates per week. Also had an update to 334 a couple of days ago.

Hi @dan245 I had a Octavia vRS CR DSG for 13 years. Loved the car and covered 139k mostly trouble free miles in it. April '25 I changed it for a '23 (73 plate) Karoq 2.0 tsi Sport line. I also tow a caravan with both. What I liked about the Octavia: Looks good 😊 Fuel consumption. Solo 50+, towing 30 Boot size Comfortable seats How does the Karoq compare: It's a mid sized SUV, personally I prefer the look of the Octavia hatch Fuel consumption whilst not as good solo it's only 1 or 2 mpg less when towing. The cheaper unleaded offsets this. The boot on the Karoq is easier to load (I have a spare wheel so a false floor) but it is smaller than the Octavia. Seats are more comfortable than the Octavia The ride I find is similar between the two although I don't have DCC. Even with the 45 profile tyres it's ok. As for towing, it's so much better. I had a tow trust detachable tow bar fitted along with the dedicated electrics by a local mobile fitter. Works as it should. Just check the vin to make sure it can be coded. Agree about the matrix headlights. Never been flashed but try not to think about replacing. Hope this helps

I've got the badge in the middle of the steering wheel and the word Skoda in black on the tailgate

I have a 73 plate sport line I fitted the 335H rear wiper last October Mark

I have the 2.0 TSI. Never left thinking that I could do with a few more BHP. However if it's mpg you are chasing don't buy one. Local trips about 35mpg. Long steady motorway, A roads etc I get 45+mpg. As I only do about 7k miles per year I'm not too bothered about mpg. Of the 7k miles probably about 2.5k is towing a caravan when I get 30 - 32 mpg which is pretty good.

I had a 2012 Octavia vRS CR DSG for 13 years and changed to a 2.0 Sportline in March of this year. No regrets. Octavia was better on fuel and handling. For everything else the Karoq wins hands down. Saying that the Octavia was better on handling needs a bit of clarification - having lower and stiffer suspension there was less body roll. The Karoq has more roll but I've never felt unsafe in it. I don't have DCC so that might make a difference. In the Karoq I've never thought - I wish I was in my old Octavia for a bit more performance.

I went from a 2012 Octavia vRS CR to a 2.0 tsi sport line 4x4. The Karoq on a steady run will do mid to high 40s, the Octavia would do mid to high 50s. I tow a caravan. The Karoq is a much better tow car and the towing mpg is very similar to the Octavia. I used to do about 15k a year when working. Now do about 7k. The diesel just didn't make any sense for the mileage I do now. With the price of unleaded Vs diesel I'm not that much worse off.

Good call - I've been using Chrome

I'll just keep trying - maybe get lucky eventually

Trying to download maps from https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-US/Updates to update the Amudsen on my 2023 Karoq. Download keeps failing. I've tried downloading to a desktop with a ethernet connection, downloading to a laptop via wifi, tried different download folders. Gets to anywhere between 4GB and 16GB and then just stops. I'm keeping the PC awake by moving the mouse every so often. Any suggestions?

Yep, it's the plastic trim that's cut

Wouldn't even know it was there

You can't see anything once removed.

I've got a detachable TowTrust on my 73 plate Sport line.
