It comes with a space saver spare so I had assumed these wouldn't be included?

Hi all, I've paid a deposit on a 2022 1.0 SE L karoq which I'm going to collect on Saturday from an approved Skoda dealer, very excited! Would really appreciate a checklist of any removable items I should check are still there. So far I have umbrella, ice scraper, and torch in boot. Is there anything else I should expect to find that might have got lost? Many thanks

Feedback from first viewing - almost right but priced a little bit higher than I think I'll get if I'm patient. I hadn't realised the reversible boot wasn't standard - I love that feature and definitely want it so is something I'll check in future cars, though I'm sure I could buy one second hand if not? I'll have a look through the forum about the upgraded speakers as hadn't clocked if this is something I should consider paying for, so any advice appreciated on that. Unfortunately I'm fairly picky about the colour so probably can't be too picky. The car I saw was in a skoda approved garage (meadens in Chichester) - have to say I was impressed by how thorough their checks are before you take the car. I've always bought privately and although you obviously pay a premium, I can see the appeal of buying from one of the approved garages. Thanks all for your help

I'm looking at one at the moment with 18" Braga Silver - Any comments on those specifically? I don't mind how they look but just conscious of some of the concerns of other wheels mentioned. Many thanks

Thats really helpful thanks so much for all your thoughts. So it sounds like the verdict is there isn't much to choose between a 2018, 2019 and 2020 other than the age of the car. Two last questions if you don't mind - engine and gearbox. Our main journey is a 10 mile each way daily commute on an A road. Fuel efficiency is much more important than performance. My instinct is to go for the 1l petrol. I would have preferred the diesel but suspect our commute is too short to benefit from the diesel? And I'm never much of a fan of automatic gearboxes but interested if there's a particular reason that should be considered? If there's a thread I should read to save you repeating please signpost. Thanks so much all!

Thanks all for your thoughts. So it sounds like there are no specific considerations related to the age of the Karoq that would help tip the balance: The Sat-nav didn't improve in a specific year, and regardless of age the wheels are likely to need upgrading. Just a final check in - are there any changes that would mean going for a specific age of karoq other than the obvious general principle of newer is better where you can afford it, and as mentioned I won't be able to afford the facelifted model? Many thanks.

Hi I'm going to buy my first SE L Karoq in the next month or two, one of the earlier models from 2018-2020. I've read a couple of comments that the built in Satnav wasn't so good on the older models and just wondered if that's true, and if so whether it was improved from a certain year or has it stayed poor? I know that hooking up your phone is preferable but I do like the idea of not having to rely on always having to hook up a phone. Also interested in any other changes over time, though the facelift model from 2022 is out of the question sadly. One minor change I saw was the badge on the rear was replaced by letters from 2019. Any other advice on changes much appreciated!
