That wheels will be fine, the standard size tyres will be fine, as long as they are not Bridgestones.

Not necessarily the wheels needing changed. If it's on 18s wheels will be fine, just not with Bridgestone turzana tyres. I have vredestien winters on the standard wheels and size and they are fine. My other wheels are still 18s, slightly wider, Michelin on front, kormoran rear and they are fine. Just avoid Bridgestone summers. I do not know how their winters or ass seasons are.

I have an earlier one with the badge on the back and I prefer that although it's a very minor thing. I find my sat navigation is fine, subject to it not knowing newly made roads, streets etc. I love the car, but its drives slightly better on still 18 inch wheels but slightly wider ones on 235/50×18 instead of the 215/50×18 horrid bridgestones it came on. Its one of the comfiest, best quality vehicles I have ever driven. Mine is a 1.6tdi dsg, it does near 50mpg everywhere, and 30mpg towing the caravan. Great car.

My karoq, which was bought used in Aberdeen is solid grey (primer). I don't particularly like the colour but I'm inside it looking out so don't see much of it. When I sold my white yeti I decided the next car wasn't going to be white again (3 white in a row), black, or anything in between. But when buying a used cat the condition, spec, history etc is more important than the colour, so grey it is!

My daughters car is a seat Leon 1.5tsi manual. It's the same age as my karoq 1.6tdi dsg. I consistently get between 52 and 55 mpg, daughter struggles to get 40. Her previous car was a Leon 1.6tdi. Her current one needs revs, and lots of them to get decent performance. I would not entertain towing the caravan with it, my karoq handles it OK. I was considering a vw troc, the only one I looked at was a 1.5tsi dsg. The salesman tried to convince me that the tsi would be a great tow car as it has 150bhp rather than the 115 of a 1.6tdi. He was a young guy, not much over 20. I politely told him that it's low down torque you need for towing, not power developed at 6000 rpm. I'm glad I held out until I found a diesel to suit me, and daughter says her next car will be back to diesel for her.

Bags of sand in the boot may of helped many years ago when I had a mk1 cavalier, but not much use now with two front wheel drives. There has not been much snow here this winter so far, but when it was here you didn't need to go far away from the sea to find quite a lot. I'm happy that the karoq has 4 winters the exact same, and all brand new within the last 4 months, tha other set has 2 Michelins, will need replaced this year sometime, and 2 kormoran which are two years old and like new. My local tyre man said they are owned by Michelin and were £90 a tyre two years ago compared to the £145 he was quoting for Michelin at the time. I'm expecting another pair of them will be on this year as I've had no problems with them. I don't mind different makes front and rear, but must be the same across the axle.

I put two vredestien winters extreme tyres on the front of my Karoq, 215/50×18 I think, the standard size anyway, in December. We have not had much snow but the few days we had the carvwas nearly undrivable with Bridgestones about 5 mm summers on the back. This is the first time I have ever had problems like it, plenty grip from the front and the back going allover the place. Therfore the Bridgestones got jettisoned and another ywo vredestien fitted to the rear at a cost of another over £300. This transformed it in the snow next day or two of snow we had. I wouldn't mix different types of tyres now. I have another set of 18" wheels that I was running on my previous yeti. The wheels are vw sirocco wheels with 235/50x18 summers, two different makes but all summers and they were much better than the Bridgestones all round for comfort, and never had a problem with grip in snow with the yeti, but then it was 4wd whereas my karoq is front.

I came into a chunk of money last year, just before my 60th birthday. At the time I had a 2014 yeti elegance, a 140 bhp 4x4 dsg that I had owned for 3 years. It was relatively low mileage and drove like brand new, and looked brand new. I still had 1 year of finance to pay. I changed it for a karoq 1.6tdi dsg, so I have a much newer car with no finance. The Karoq is comfier and cheaper to run. However I miss my yeti. I loved it. I only like te karoq. Its forgettable to drive, forgettable to drive. Will I ever buy another Karoq? Probably not despite it being a good car. Would I ever buy another yeti? Yes. In fact I nearlydid a couple of months ago to use as my workhorse don't care about it car, but instead bought a mk4 golf gttdi. I actually went looking for a roomster. I love the yeti because it's different, a it of an oddball. The only criticism of it I had was the boot a bit small, and the seats a bit hard, although I did 700 miles in one day and stepped out of it fresh enough at the end.

I have auto hold, stop start and all that. Stick it in D and let it do what it wants, apart from when towing when I put it in manual and use the paddle shift when cruising, and D in the towns.

Hi, I have a karog 1.6td dsg gearbox, 7 speed. What gearbox would it be in my car, and how often or even does it need the gearbox oil changed. It is a late 2018 car and has covered just under 57k. It was serviced by skoda at 2 years and 4 years, I do not know what the services covered, and it was "serviced" by Peter Vardy carz when I bought it last June at 52k. I suspect this service consisted of an oil change only, as the tyre pressures were not set as the warning light was on upon collection. I shall be getting it serviced soon and would like to know if to change the dsg oil. I got a towbar fitted and it tows a caravan on occasion so this is why I'm asking. I know the timing belt interval has just been extended to 120k, but the intention will be to change it long before then.

I'm a confirmed diesel driver and want the torque of diesel for towing. My 1.6 diesel karoq pulls my caravan fine, my daughter has a 1.5tsi seat leon, its nippy but needs the nuts revved off it, and wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. It is also far poorer on fuel consumption, by about 15mpg compared to her previous 1.6 td leon. She will be going back to diesel for her next one. So I say go for the diesel in the ops case, save a heap of money buying it and have better trim and equipment and a better drive.

My karoq is a completely different car to drive now having got rid of the Bridgestones and now on 4 x vredestien winters in the standard 215/50x18. I run two sets of wheels, the other ser are kormoran suv summer tyres on 235/50x18 and I have absolutely no wheelspin problems with them. It is a dsg. I wish I had bought a 4wd one though. My previous yeti was dsg 4wd, and even on full winters this karoq has nothing like the grip in the current snow that the yeti had on summers.

The 2 door marina would have looked better if the doors were about 6 inches longer.

I have heated leather in my mk4 golf gtdi. They are comfortable for me and I'm a fat git with major back and leg problems. I also had a bora highline with heated leather which was also good.

My first car was an allegro, a basic 1.1. If you call breakdowns, rust and more rust characterful then count it. Followed bt 2 x vauxhall astra mk1, a 1.3gl then a 1.6sr. Loved them.
