Thanks, gone for a Jaguar E-Pace. Cheaper per month than the Karoq! EU emission regs wtlp or whatever it's called was the reason given. Not enough people to do checks. So nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.

After almost three years of Skoda ownership with my Superb it's time to say goodbye to the brand. We ordered a new Karoq Edition back in July 2018 to replace the Superb, with a delivery date of late October. October came and went, so did November and December, at which point the dealer advised we would be lucky to see it before the end of January. So order cancelled. Was advised when it did finally arrive we would be notified, just in case we changed our minds, but as nothing has been heard I guess it isn't in the country yet. No blame on the dealer, this seems to be all down to Skoda not able to cope with new emissions regulations.

In response to the touchscreen responses. If the sat nav is working the touchscreen is fine, but the media simply won't play.

Thanks. They have admitted it's a known problem and have had several videos, the car has been in six times, yesterday they tried to install the update three times via SD card, this morning it failed again :-(

Has anyone else had an issue with their Columbus media player in cold temperatures? If the temperature falls close to freezing mine will not play music from the SD card, occasionally the phone does not connect/operate and the same with the sat nav. It has been to the dealers six times now and they confirm it is a known issue, but seem unable to cure it with the factory update. Once the car has warmed through a hard reset brings it all back to life.

2wd and, normal mode is still pretty slick as well. Bearing in mind my previous car was an E320 merc so I'm comparing with something with a bit of get up and go as well.

I must have a dodgy 190 as in sport mode away from a junction it's like the proverbial s** t off a shovel with tyres struggling to grip and traction control light flashing like a good un.

Excellent ride quality in mine with 18" wheels.

Once I saw that someone called Tiny Temper was billed to appear I concluded I wasn't part of the target audience any more. I am starting to enjoy watching reruns of Fifth Gear, a show that had passed me by up until now.

Sunroof means that you have no sunglasses holder and there are no convenient places to put them in reach. Have you found the little cubbie-hole down by the driver's right knee position. It took me about two weeks to discover that was there, and should be OK for glasses.

We visited Tromso in March 2015, a lovely city and wonderfully friendly people.

Will do. Our trip takes us from Bergen to Myrkdalen, where we will be based for a week of touring/sightseeing. I have a few locations already in the sat-nav, including Vik (Sognefjord), Flam, and Folgefonna National Park, but if you have any other ideas feel free to let me have them. Thanks again for the link, it was helpful.

Many thanks for that confirmation. I will have a look at the link and proceed with care once I am behind the wheel ☺
