Well there you go!  After a Yeti, then Superb, then another Yeti, I'm off to the Teddy Bear enclosure!  Having been invited to test drive their launch demonstrator down at Sinclair Skoda in Swansea, which had all the bells and whistles fitted, I was completely blown away by the sheer quality of the vehicle.

 

i remember feeling a similar level of wonder at the quality and value for money of the Yeti back in 2010 that I felt with the Kodiaq on Saturday, so I did as I did back then and ordered one, the last in their April allocation!  I think it will appear in June, so not long to wait, really, though this car has been so long in coming they should've been stockpiling by now.  It has the 190bhp engine linked to the 7 speed DSG box, and it was silky smooth in all respects.

And we were just getting used to having you back !  Good luck - I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 

Did you photograph it?

I had a feeling that would happen George, when I heard you were going down there.

I suppose that will keep Brian happy for a while.

Funny we never got an invite!!

I test drove the demo car at Lookers Salford on Sunday.

 

Left after placing an order for a Moon White 150 diesel DSG SE with parking sensors and towbar.

 

Far less toys than the current L&K Yeti but we don't want or need 7 seats and don't really need any of the toys i'll be losing.

 

Just the wait for delivery now. We were told July ish but we'll see.

That Kodiaq really does seem to be impressive, quite apart from the technology it comes with.  190 DSG Moon White Edition version, with sensors front and rear and 4 cameras at the corners, and electric towbar.  And a heated steering wheel!  It comes with umpteen seats that I'll never use, but hey-ho, the rest of the beast fits my desires.  The engine is the same as the A5 Convertible, but without the undoubted benefit of the seamless Multitronic gearbox which makes it super smooth.  That said I was impressed by the sweet progress the Teddy Bear made!!  I also found the touch-screen display mighty useful.  Delivery??  June/July?

I shall expect a visit so it can be inspected!
