👍. Mk 5, had to be one of the best VW’s. Hopefully my Karoq will be as enjoyable!

wasn’t a red one was it? Petrol version. Best car I have ever owned! Photo taken Aug 22. No remapping, it was fast enough for me!

Have to say one of the best, comprehensive reviews I have read due to the fact you have run both over a long period. I just need to improve the ride and as you say, we will have great tourers. 230bhp sounds interesting! We’ll save that discussion for another day!! Many thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I did wonder from experience, what was the best size wheel as we can have 4 sizes to chose from, and you have answered that! I am just looking at comfort now. Done with GTi’s due to hard suspension and then I get an Edition with 19 inch wheels :-). Having said that, I wanted the Edition spec and have not been disappointed! Excellent car. So, looks like 17 inch is the way to go. Many thanks. ps nice wheels on yours and I do like the colour. Suits the car. Out of interest (as you have had 3 Tiquan’s) how do they compare to the Karoq you now have?

Having had my Karoq Edition a few months now, I find the 19 inch Crater wheels a bit hard on some local roads but fine on good A roads and the motorways. I have seen comments regarding getting smaller wheels which improve ride quality. So, I am hoping to get some winter tyres on smaller wheels. I did see recently a post by ‘Kodiak’ from the Poole area, that a set of 16” wheels and a space saver was for sale. If they are still available, please let me know. (Would have asked the gentleman, but cannot find the post now) thanks

Thanks for the info. I asked because my Karoq has 25,000 on the clock. Something I need to keep an eye on as I have the Edition model and you can hear suspension working overtime on poor roads, to compensate for the skinny low profiles. Hope it’s not the same issue with shock absorbers! Thanks

How old is car and what mileage has it done to need new shockers?
