I disabled this in mine - it's in the driving assistance menu on the main screen somewhere - "Speed limit preview" or similar. Once I turned that off, it doesn't automatically change the ACC target speed based on signs it passes. And it's an option which stays turned off between journeys too.

Never understood why the dash cam isn't part of the car nowadays - it has a camera in it anyway for all the driver assist stuff, so it just needs somewhere to put an SD card for recording and some menu updates.

Hmmm - not what the dealer said. Was told it charged at 100kW to about 80% then slowed down. Plus on that graph, I should have been seeing approx. 70kW charge if I was at 50% battery, dropping below 50kW once reaching 80%. I got no more than 42kW, dropping to 30kW by the time I stopped at 87% charge. Incidentally I have only done one other fast charge from about 20% on a 50kW charger and only got 42kW max on that too. I put that one down to the charger, but now I'm not so sure.

I had to do a long journey today. Stopped at the Rugby Moto services where Gridserve have 350kW CCS chargers. Yet my Enyaq only charged at (max) 42kW, despite it having the 100kW option on it. A VW ID.3 near mine was charging at 72kW (the chargers all display the rate). I was only down to 50% battery when charging, but I did expect it to go fast until 80% or so and then maybe slow down. Has anyone actually done a fast charge on the Enyaq? It did slow down to 30kW or so as it went past 80%. I stopped it at 87% as I knew that would be enough for the day. Also, other than the dealer saying it was on the car (I bought it from stock), is there any way I can check the option is actually installed? I'll be giving them a call anyway on Monday...

Even if that 40% figure is accurate, that's hardly going to make a huge impact anyway - that's only 40% power saving for the heating of the car interior, not the overall power consumption of the car. I have no idea how much the Enyaq consumes for heating the car interior from cold, but I do know that in the hot weather we've been having, the aircon maxed out at 2.5kWh/h on the consumables readout that replaces the instantaneous mi/KWh when the car is stopped. Which seems reasonable - 2.5kW of power being used to cool the car. I would expect heating to be much the same - that's a decent sized fan heater's worth of power - which I am sure would heat up an interior the size of a car relatively well. If that is made "40% more efficient" then it would be 1.5kW (or, to put it the odd way the car describes it, 1.5kWh/h). Or a saving of 1kWh/h. Not a massive amount. A journey of 30 miles in that hour might use up, say. 10kWh in that time (I'm using a 3 mi/kWh guess there for winter driving - you may get more). Overall you'd use 11.5kWh instead of 12.5kWh in that hour journey. So around 8-9% overall energy savings. Noticeable, but as long as you aren't needing the full range, I'm not sure it's worth the ~£1K outlay.

Couple of questions for existing owners - first of all, my charging cable only came with a removable cap on one end, which is a bit odd. Is that normal? It's also just solid black, whereas all the pictures I can find on Skoda's sites seem to show a yellow cable. I'm not bothered, but just wondering if mine has been changed before supply. The manual (digital one I downloaded) also implies there is a "charging cable pocket" that fits in the left side storage space in the boot (page 239), but mine was just coiled loose - is that pocket part of the Transport package option? And has anyone purchased a replacement cable had has any recommendations / do not buys? I could do with a 10m long one at home. I'm assuming if it is Type 2 to Type 2 and can handle the full 32A I'll be fine, but sometimes one brand stands out over others. Thanks!

Must be the day for Race Blue Metallic Enyaqs... Collected today. Dealer stock 60 Loft model I decided to take, so not the perfect spec, but close enough. Drive Basic. Drive Assistance Plus. Convenience Plus. 100kW charging. Light and View Basic. Parking Basic. Climate Basic. Got 3.6 miles/kWh on the way home, which I thought was OK given the aircon on strong and a climb over a 1,400 ft hill to get here. Mind you, the regen on the way back down was good! I thought I'd leave half the plate showing as getting one beginning DC seemed appropriate for a first electric car. Can't seem to get the "foot waving" boot to work reliably yet, but will persevere. Wish I could get the driving data onto the cockpit - would fit nicely into the right hand segment when not using satnav and allow me to scroll through the values like on the rest of the Skodas using the right thumb-wheel, but otherwise most things seem to make sense. Got stuck for a while behind a tractor in a small queue, so enabled the ACC and Driving Assist and it practically drove itself along the road, which was entertaining. The pACC seemed to do well too once I was free - slowed down fine for upcoming bends - probably something that works better on rural roads. Not yet tackled the charging - a few more days until my PodPoint is installed. And I wish I'd known you only got one umbrella (but oddly, still the passenger slot for one). I'd have kept one from my previous Kodiaq!

You mean it isn't one of those "self-charging" cars? The dealer has won the race. I will have the Enyaq 13 days before the wall charger. Rural area means nothing over 7kW closer than 20 miles away that I can find, so this is very much into the deep end about planning routes that can take advantage of when I do venture towards them. Luckily no need to daily commute at the moment.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up going with a PCP deal anyway - had a decent enough residual on my existing PCP lease to provide a down-payment, pushed a decent enough deal as I was taking a car from dealer stock which wasn't perfect in terms of options, but close enough, and will be collecting it in the next couple of weeks. In fact, it's a bit of a race between the dealer to make the car available and PodPoint to install the home charger. I suspect the dealer is going to win which might be awkward...

OK, I get the reason, but it actually works out more - in my example above, the leasing company then charges you £4,372 over the term for £3,405 of extras. Not a good deal at all. Hopefully a PCP deal will come out better - there should be some extra residual in my existing car as it has barely moved in 15 months!

OK - been looking into an Enyaq, but I've spotted this: The finance calculator only gives me leasing. I've selected a 12,000 miles per annum, medium package, 6 months initial, 48 monthly payments. For the base Nav 60 Loft, priced at £31.995, that comes out at £2,490 initial payment and £415 per month. If I spec it up a bit, I ended up at £35,400. That's a 10.6% increase in price over the base model. But the leasing jumps to £2,974 initial and £496 monthly - which is a 19.5% increase. Anyone know why this is? Have they got a "cheap" headline deal hardwired for the base model for advertising? Are those leasing quotes online accurate, or do you get a "proper" one at the dealer?

C4 Grand Picasso, bought new February 2014. Had loads of problems with the electrics right from the outset, so I rejected the car and Citroen agreed to replace it with an entirely new one. I finally received the replacement in September 2014... which had most of the same problems. I rejected again, but this time Citroen wouldn't play ball. It went on to spend five months in the dealership before Citroen sent specialists over to see it and eventually declared there was nothing wrong with the car. It literally failed as I drove it off the forecourt, much to the "amusement" of the dealer who ended up with it back immediately. I eventually won my case with the Ombudsman and received some compensation, which paid a decent the deposit on my Superb in October 2015, but little else to show for 18 months of hell overall. I had to drive multiple courtesy cars and a long term rental car... one of which also broke down. I'll never deal with Citroen again. And Swansway Group are a bunch of crooks too - literally couldn't give a toss about my case after they sold me the car, always fobbing me off with Citroen. Eventually the dealer refused to handle my case, which is why I ended up at the Ombudsman. Even that took months as when the Ombudsman initially ruled against PSA Finance, they refused to comply, delaying it even longer.

Picked mine up on Friday, replacing a Superb. Spec is SE L TDI 150ps DSG 5 seats. Black Magic (soon to be dirty grey). Nothing extra except a spare wheel. For those following other posts, yes, it came from the factory with a spare wheel, full size one too, despite that not being an option on the SE L 5 seat spec. Suits me - I like a spare wheel - never had a car that I've not had to change a wheel on yet. The B&W Maxidot was a slight disappointment at first, coming from the colour one in the Superb, but as observed elsewhere, you very soon get over it. The only options I would have chosen had I had time to wait for an order and not bought from stock were ACC (which was great in the Superb when I used it) and front parking sensors. Both of which I am sure I will live without fine. Early feel is good. I'm pleased to return to the higher driving position, and this is my first automatic car, so that's all new to me. It's a curious mix of improvements and subtle differences over the Superb. I like the door protectors, but can't fathom why there is a gap between the boot cover and the back seats - there was a flap on the boot cover bar on the Superb which covered that. Still got the clever right-angle velcro box holders in the boot... but nowhere to clip them into (that I see). Similarly, the side storage pod doors in the boot are gone, but drawers under the front seats and second glove compartment have appeared, and I really like the sliding arm rest top - lifting the one in Superb to get to something (sweets!) while driving was awkward. The top of the dash looks a bit more plastic, yet the gloss black inserts are really nice. as is the completely flat entertainment screen.

I had a Citroen with a fully digital display - it's great... until it goes wrong and you end up with a blank screen while trying to drive in an unfamiliar city and no speedo to keep you legal. It did have one "useful" feature - you could actually display your own pictures as a backdrop for the dials. When first messing with it, I created a passable resemblance to the LCARS displays in Star Trek, but my favourite picture was the one I installed before handing back the car which basically said "This car is a ****ing piece of ****" in between the dials. Suffice to say my experience with Citroen wasn't good... it spent more time in the dealer than in my possession.

Update - it reached dealer Wednesday afternoon. So 9 calendar days from arrival in port to dealer. Picking it up tomorrow.

Mine arrived in UK port last Monday and I've just been told it has been prepared for transport, so due at dealer tomorrow or Thursday. So that matches the 8-10 days quoted above. Cutting it nice and fine as the MOT on my trade-in is due Friday... dealer has set aside prep time in the workshop to have it all ready! Edit - It's a SE L 5-seat, 150ps DSG from (very limited!) stock. Only option on it was the spare wheel, which the dealer is intrigued by as that model doesn't have a spare wheel as an option according to the configurator...

Bumping this up rather than start a new thread... Does anyone know if the Superb mats will fit the Kodiaq? I had the Superb mats thrown in when I got that, and I am about to switch to the Kodaiq, but with no free mats this time. I'm not bothered about the wording - mats are mats - but will they be a good fit does anyone know?

2.0TDI 150PS, Manual Estate, 19" wheels: Full tank down to about 1/4, then filled so I could calculate the actual mpg as well as the reported. Trip computer said 52.0 mpg since refuel. Calculation came out at 48.0 mpg. Based on runs averaging 30 miles each. Very little town or stop start driving, about 60-70% rural A roads at approx. 50mph and the rest on dual carriageways or motorways at between about 65 and 70mph. Not aggressive at all, apart from the odd overtake. Had the engine in mostly Normal mode, with maybe 1/3 of the time in Eco to see what difference it made (not a lot). A bit disappointed in this - my driving style and journey profile has meant in pretty much every car I've ever owned I've approached the published combined figures within just a few percent. The published figure for this model is 67.3mpg, and the car is reporting over 22% lower than that and actually doing nearly 29% less. I know that published fuel figures are up there in the list of top ten pieces of fiction, but even so, I think that's excessive. Also, doesn't compare well with the other figures published here so far. Will report back as the car runs in, although on my last car, fuel economy actually decreased slightly over the course of the first 10,000 miles. Anyone found a particular brand of fuel suits the 2.0TDI 150PS well yet? I had a car once which would return nearly 10% better fuel economy just by putting Shell in it. But not the V-Power stuff - that was actually worse.

I'm not massively fussed as to what a car looks like ("Unbeliever! Heathen! Burn the witch!") but I have to admit it looks great. The brilliant silver is (to my eyes) pretty much the same colour as the Sirius alloys, and the few black pieces are set well against the silver, and of course match the tyre colour. So I have a nice consistent two-colour scheme. I'll try to get a couple of pics in the real world at the weekend, but by the time I get around to that, it'll probably be three-colour as it's being driven in rural Wales - silver, black and mud

Snapped key. Took it out at the end of a journey, wouldn't fold back into fob, so looked at it and it was bent. Merely unfolding it again and it fell off. Lucky it wasn't in the ignition. I imagine this is a "one off" - flaw just in the wrong place on the blank, and also could happen to any model. I'm being very gentle with the other one at the moment.

Picked mine up today. Superb Estate, SE Exec trim, 2.0TDI 150 Manual, Brilliant Silver. Came with a selection of options, none of which I picked myself as this was an in stock car that I bought as I needed a new car quickly. 19" Sirius alloys, Electric front passenger seat, Front parking sensors, Traffic sign recognition, Colour MaxiDot, Retracting parcel shelf, Heated Washer nozzles, Spare Wheel and WiFi. Black Leather/Alicantra mix interior. And one key. First one has snapped already. Luckily not in the ignition - took it out after 2nd journey, noticed it didn't fit back into key body and saw it had almost broken off. Is there no speed limiter on these cars? It mentions one in the manual, but the controls for it aren't there where they should be (on the top of the indicator stalk). Going to miss that from my last car. I thought the parcel shelf was meant to retract automatically on boot opening, but it doesn't - but the manual (strangely) says that should be in the settings. Not quite sure how the car settings can control a mechanical shelf, but I'll have a look tomorrow. Traffic sign recognition is a bit meh - at one point it told me the speed limit was now 100 (you'd have thought they would have made that impossible in the software in the UK) and it picks up any old sign, including ones for side roads and those ones which warn you of an upcoming change down to 30 for example. But everything else is very nice indeed. First stop, the local Skoda dealer for a new key tomorrow! Early MPG results on a mixed town / rural roads run of about 25 miles was a reported figure of just over 50 mpg.

My main worry is we weren't told about the start/stop not being on our car, when we led to believe it was on all models via the brochure. You then wonder what else is missing? Seems a bit underhand of the dealer to claim it was "a slightly better spec" than the current model, when it doesn't appear to be. I managed to find a January 2015 Spaceback brochure, and the only other thing I can see that's appeared between that and the version we were given is "Voice control". Will have to see if that's present - there's a button on the wheel for it, I'm sure... (wife is at work with it at the moment) I also noticed the pictures had wing mirror indicators on the car now - really can't remember if we have those or not. I sense a conversation with the dealership coming up... Will also see what date the car was first registered when the ownership documents turn up. If we'd known they would have had to pre-register it if we didn't buy it, we'd have pushed for a better deal. Damn.

Hi there, new member as I just got a new 65 plate SE Tech Spaceback which was sold with the 105PS 1.6 TDI engine in it, rather than the 115PS engine in the brochure, as it was an "in stock" car at a decent discount. When I was searching around about why we don't seem to have the Stop/Start system on the car that is meant to be in all the models according to the brochure we have, it turns out that this older engine doesn't have it. OK - might not be a particularly big issue on its own, however I was told it was actually a slightly higher spec model than the current models being built - have I been misled badly here? However, more interestingly, I've just been reading about why these engines have been replaced - all to do with a change to EU6 emission regulations. Which seem to have come into effect this month - i.e. no car with an EU5 engine is meant to be registered now. Does this mean I've been sold a car "illegally"? It's a 65 plate, so definitely registered this month - not a pre-registered car.
