Thanks - at the moment, I am only taking the bike short distances to different place in and around my region. I was thinking of a tailgate carrier but as per my OP, I have heard multiple people say either you can or cannot attach a universal 'cheaper' one to the hatch. Does anyone else have any ideas on this?

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster as a Karoq owner. I've recently become more fond of cycling and rather than slinging my bike into the boot of my car, I was wondering what my other options are without breaking the bank. I have done some research and some state that the Karoq cannot support the 'off the rack' universal hatch-back style bike rack - something to do with the structure of the hatch? I was told I have to get the Skoda cross bars and the Skoda bike holders (meaning I would be spending in excess of £300....no thanks). I was hoping someone on here might be able to help? (I did a quick search for a thread someone else might have already put in this section but could not find one so sorry if I am repeating something someone has already asked!)

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to turn it off. It hasn't caused me any issues. It has beeped once or twice but nothing has kicked in as I usually am on the brakes when it beeps anyway.

Hi all - hoping you could help me out with a query I have regarding the query on the front bumper of the Mk3 Fabia. I understand it is a proximity sensor that sets off an alarm if I am approaching something a little bit quickly - but I have never 'let it' set on auto brakes. I guess my question is - does it even engage auto brakes to prevent you rear-ending someone (for example)? I guess I am looking for piece of mind here

@Damo That wrap looks amazing! I love the shiny finish. Something to consider....- 34 replies

Personally I am not going to do anything to mine apart from maybe spraying the brake calipers. The car is on PCP so I want/need to retain the value on it for when it comes to trade in time in 2 1/2 years time.- 34 replies

I already am impressed. I was impressed the moment I sampled one down a twisty A road just outside of Milton Keynes when I took one for a test drive. I had to buy one there and then. It is a superb little car and yes - if there were no police and it was legal, I would take mine to those speeds and I would feel safe doing it as it is a solid car.- 34 replies

End of the day, I get what I need. 50+MPG on the motorway, 0-60 in less than 10s, a great gearbox, a great ICE system and good looking car that is comfortable. Less than £45 to fill up and less than £350 to insure. Nimble round roundabout (essential for Milton Keynes living). I guess everyone buys to suit their requirements. Luckily for me the Fabia MC ticked all my boxes. And you're right, price-wise you cannot get more car for less money unless you buy a used one.- 34 replies

If this is going to turn into a comparison of "My car is faster than your car" on a relatively incomparable level then I am out - I thought we were having a proper conversation.- 34 replies

0-60 in less than 10 seconds is respectful... I've given bigger cars a run for their money on the pullaway. It is funny as everyone underestimates it...Even my passengers- 34 replies

It was the dealers' basic courtesy car so I guess it was the entry level one (no disrespect to the brand etc. but wow the difference is noticeable). It was a '66 plate mk3. I love my Monte Carlo. The 'standard package' is generous compared to other brands and the power the little 1.2 DSG gives is actually quite amazing. I got one of the last 1.2's on a '17 plate. I hear the 1.0's have been tuned to put out the same power - if that's the case it should be just as capable. My wife likes my Monte Carlo so much she has put it on her list of choices for her next company car.- 34 replies

When test driving the regular Fabia mk3 and then a Monte Carlo, the difference was quite drastic in quality (I thought). As for road noise, hadn't noticed (riding on the 17" rims). I will admit the interior is rather simple but I guess it is down to how crowded you like your car interiors. If you want cramped and crowded - buy a Seat Ibiza. If you want a functional and 'tidy' interior, Skoda every time.- 34 replies

I love the aggressive sound - especially when you get the DSG into sport mode and end up red lining every gear - it is immense. Your instinct tells you it shouldn't do that but the design of engine allows it to before the gear changes so why not?- 34 replies
