Yes, the manual mentions 120km/hr as maximum speed limit. In the UK, the maximum legal speed limit is 70mph (112.6km/hr) so it doesn't affect me.

I've got front and rear sensors, and rear camera. The rear camera is very useful, as I find the back window too small.

I don't think it's pointless. People at the back are facing forwards while talking anyway. The driver doesn't have to turn back and talk which is very useful. I've left mine at 5 or 6 which is adequate. It gets echoey at higher amplification.

Heated windscreen and GPS reception on mobile phone
bigboss replied to DOL's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
No issues with mine. I haven't got the antenna option but I have the heated windscreen. -
Petrol 1.4 TSI or 2.0 TSI DSG? and 4x4 or not 4x4?
bigboss replied to Krooked's topic in Skoda Kodiaq MKI (2017-2023)
But for 6000 miles, Diesel makes no sense whatsoever. I did some calculations; for 10000 miles per year, it would take me 6 years to recoup the cost difference of Diesel model (£1800 more expensive than Petrol) taking real mpgs into account. -

Personally, I found the 1.4 to be more than adequate. It is peppy enough to overtake easily, even with fully loaded with 5 adults and 5 cricket kits in the boot. It's a turbo engine, so equivalent to a naturally aspirated 2.0 litre engine. Most of my driving will be urban and motorways. I'll never go off road. So I didn't feel the need for 4WD. It's an additional 85kg weight. You can get Triglav wheels and get it painted to your liking from a local wheel shop. Will cost around £75 to £100 per wheel. -

Falling out of love with ECO Mode

Where did I disagree? I merely said there were 2 types on normal / sport modes. I only elaborated on your post. -

No, that would depend on whether you have adaptive chassis control in your car or not. If not, it won't control the suspension. -
Falling out of love with ECO Mode

That's different to the eco / normal / sport mode which changes the settings of control units. This will, for example, change the behaviour of the engine, automatic transmission and power steering. The different modes in adaptive chassis control would change the suspension. -

One member on the other Kodiaq forum compared eco mode with normal mode and found no significant difference in economy. I've kept mine in normal mode since the start, and am getting 40.2mpg on my 1.4L 150 Petrol which isn't bad at all. Don't see much point in saving pennies after spending £30K+ on the Kodiaq.
