Sorry no, sold now but unable to edit post.

The only time I get that symbol on the dash is when I engage sport mode. The two green ‘arcs’ move towards the rear of the car image as I accelerate so I’ve always assumed it’s some kind of half-baked G meter (or whatever they’re called). Either way I find it completely pointless.

Has anyone got or had a Scala (or Kamiq) with the factory sound system upgrade? I’m particularly looking for information/photos of the subwoofer/spare wheel/tool arrangement if anyone has that information please.

Very nice, enjoy!

If there aren’t any photos it didn’t happen 😉

So far so good for me, as for the infotainment, that’s only a hop and catch and not a regular occurrence, holding the on/off button down for about 10 seconds to reboot it usually solves the issue.

I went from a Karoq SportLine to a Scala MC 1.5 DSG about 15 months ago and it’s the best decision I made and have zero regrets. Other than an occasional creaky binnacle (which I also had with the Karoq) I’m very happy with it. I’d hesitate to say it’s sporty but it’s rapid enough and handles well enough for me. Been on a few holidays in it, 4-up plus the dog and all the luggage and it handles it admirably, in fact the the kids (17 &18) both reckon it’s more comfy as a rear seat passenger than the Karoq was. Boot space is good, seats are comfy and apart from the occasional glitch the infotainment system works well (I use CarPlay as I find the native Škoda satnav truly awful). The only complaint from my wife is that the sun visor vanity mirrors don’t have a light but I can live with that. Is there anything specific info you’re looking for?

Another recommendation for the Scala from me, I went from a Karoq to a Scala and have zero regrets. My grown up kids both prefer being a back seat passenger in the Scala over the Karoq, both say it’s roomier and more comfortable. I looked at the Kamiq before buying the Scala but the smaller boot (compared to the Scala), usability of the boot space and overall looks led me to the Scala.

They say there’s more legroom and the seating position is better, interestingly (or not as the case may be) my elderly in-laws also commented on the comfort of being a back seat passenger in comparison to the Karoq.

I went the other way, Karoq to Scala, both of my kids (one late teens & one early 20’s) both prefer being rear seat passengers in the Scala over the Karoq.

If you like the interior but would like more boot space it might be worth looking at the Scala, basically the same inside and the actual difference in ride height is very minimal.

It was a full four wheel alignment.

Yes! Noticed it as soon as I drove off the forecourt (new car) and booked it straight back in to be ‘fixed’ Cue three more visits to the dealer and the alignment checked and adjusted three times and steering wheel removed/refitted and it’s still no different. The dealer reckons it fine and the brand new Scala I had as a courtesy car had exactly the same issue. All tyre pressures constantly checked and all spot on, no uneven wear so no logical reason I can find for it. I’ve sort of given up on it now as I CBA going back and forth to the dealers and Škoda. It’s all very disappointing to be honest but as there’s no uneven wear on the tyres I just live with it now against my better judgment.
