I will definitely test drive. I only wondered, if other people noticed the same issue with the Kodiaq (or other DSG), and had observed any change in the behaviour, or no its exactly the same...people who have done 10,000s miles in the car will have a much better understanding than a 20 minute test drive... I tend to use "sport" setting when I am driving in situtaions that might need it - sometimes I forget! My previous car was a slightly less sophisticated gearbox, and behaved much more predictably.

Thanks fo the feedback. Absolutely I inteed to do a test drive...but I didn't really notice the effect on the test drive of the Kodiaq, which may well have been a different spec to the one I bought. (I cannot remember 7 years ago) I just wondered if people who noticed the issue on earlier cars, thought that it still existed, or was resolved. Also sorry for the similar thread in the Superb section.. Considering both cars.

Hi all, I currently have a 2018 Skoda Kodiaq Edition 2.0 190 diesel 4x4. It's been a great car (mostly) but will soon be up for replacement. The biggest gripe for me with that car is the auto gearbox response. It seems to gave a big delay sometimes between the accelerator being pressed and the engine/gearbox response. Almost like the engine bogs down. Then all of a sudden it unleashes more than needed. Occasionally I've found this dangerous, if wanting to overtake, or pull away at a busy roundabout. I've been dumped into traffic several times. It's not a lack of power, it's a slow response from the power train. Are the new Kodiaq DSG gearboxes better in this respect? I'd probably go petrol or hybrid. I also had a DSG mechatronics failure on my Kodiaq. This is the biggest reason I might look at other brands...but nothing quite matches my needs like the Skodas.
