Thanks everyone. Two different cars I appreciate, but have narrowed it down to Karoq and new shape Volvo V60. Good selection of Karoqs and a handful of V60s in my 23k price range. Karoq I love the height of the ride and DSG box, but when you take out the variflex seats, the floor seems to be at different levels which is a pain. Also really want full leather (we have dogs, and dog hair on cloth is a nightmare) as I don’t like the suade infill, and there are not many specced to this. Volvo has full leather and all toys, and a flat level floor, but much lower ride height. Trouble is test drives are going to be a pain over the next few weeks, and don’t get me started on the fact that I think used prices will plummet in the next few months. Cheers

Hi I am looking to buy a 19 or 69 reg Karoq. Originally looking at the 1.5 tsi petrol engine, but have read loads of reviews of this engine fitted across Skoda/ VW / Seat range that has suffered lots of issues when cold resulting in ‘kangarooing’. I understand VW have issued a software fix, but is this effective, and if not, how widespread is this issuse... If the odds of getting a dodgy petrol 1.5 are high, then I might plump for a diesel, but would rather petrol as now only do about 5000 miles a year. Cheers

Thanks for that, I assumed it would be a standard 'clip in' type. Any one got any suggestions for a robust guard, preferably one that could also be used, if required, with the rear seats up, as it would be for two fairly large Boxer dogs!! We have a halfords one at present in a fiesta, which hooks onto the headrests on the rear seat, but I do not think it would be man enough to stop a flying 34kg boxer at 40mph, let alone two.....LOL Anyone know of a firm who may be able to make one to fit the Roomster? Any suggestions gratefully received............

Hi Guys.... New to the board.....Just ordered the wife a 1.2 105 SE DSG Roomster. Its ex dem and I should be able to collect it in about 2 weeks....only 12 weeks old and only done 200 miles....good news it has rear parking sensors so our wall can breathe a sigh of relief...... Having the dealer fit a few bits to it, mats, parrot hands free etc, but we could really do with a dog guard. We want a Skoda one if possible but they are silly money, so just wondered if anyone on here has one they do not use/need any longer, and would like to sell..... Cheers!!!
