When I said everyone else. I meant the participants of this thread, who all have the same issue. As for the wider world I'm not sure. But my pal that works in Skoda France says the early 4's are "A complete and utter disaster". So if there are folk out there with good ones, they're in the minority The issues are compounded by the wife's new Nissan just doing everything it should do with no fuss. Which grates a little around the dinner table.

Great. So I just get the nasty surprise when the car decides to slam on mid bend because I've forgotten to switch off the "please kill me" button I would have thought the point of having to log in to my own car is that it remembers what I want from it. Perfectly pointless use of tech otherwise.

Everyone else on the thread pal.

I'd also like the car to stop turning my music down if I select reverse.

Gear change nag over rides the tacho. Very annoying. I'd also like to switch off the lane control permanently, can that be done? Getting tired of the car veering around when it senses something that's not there or is an old line etc. I like to drive fast, anything having a tug at the wheel randomly is entirely unwelcome. Thanks all.

Mines the 1l,. Has plenty of issues including randomly slamming on the brakes for imaginary crashes, dragging me off the road following random lines, infotainment system is entirely useless. So many bugs in it and randomly fails to fire up. It's also developed a nasty whiny sound. Like the gearbox is about to fail. Finally snapped tonight and I'm going to the dealers with a face on tomorrow and playing hell.

At my end with this car now. Problem after problem. Same as everyone else, car won't accept my details to log in. They're correct.

Why are people still ordering Octavia IVs?
Vocnorth replied to Octy0GG's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
My first and last Skoda. Wish I'd read the forums first. Can't get lane assistant to stay off permanently. It randomly loves to try and send me off the road if it thinks it's seen something. Front collision assist randomly threw the brakes on as I was going around Marine Drive. Infotainment system is running the worst software I've ever encountered in 40 years of computing. Even ET on the Atari was coded better. Genuinely shocked by how bad it is. It's a different fault every day. Some plain dangerous, some just really annoying like failing to connect to Android auto or taking three button presses to do something when one would do. Or just deciding not to play today. I regularly get home from my commute before it boots. Farcical. Engine is terrible, really asthmatic and weedy. Car feels frightening to drive over 80mph and terrifying nearer 100. Cars on lease hire. I don't care what it costs me, I'm handing it back early.
