Candy White?

Followers

Hi all,

Has anyone seen a Karoq in Candy White yet?

I test drove a 4x4 Auto today and loved it, so much so that I'm ordering one this week.

The dealer has offered me a very good deal on my Mk3 Octavia VRS - more than the settlement value of my PCP and I'm only 18 months into a 42 month PCP! A fair bit more than the book value for trade in too.

I've specified Candy White on an SE-L after comparing a City Go in Candy and a Superb in Moon White, it looked the nicer of the two colours.

But has anyone actually seen a Karoq in one or can find a photo of one? All I can find is Moon White.

Thanks

Andy

I think both Moon White and Candy White would look almost the same on the Karoq.

When I went to the Skoda showroom, they had a white Karoq on display next to a white Kodiaq. After spending a good 10 minutes checking out the Karoq, I remarked to my wife that the car's colour was the same Candy White as our Octavia. That's when the salesman corrected me and told us that the Karoq was actually in Moon White and the Kodiaq was in Candy White. Then I took a few steps back from the car and the colour on the Karoq looked a bit different, but still quite close to that of the Kodiaq parked next to it. I thought they would look more different in sunlight. The next day I visited the showroom during the day with a couple of friends. They made the same mistake as I did, until I told them that the cars were in different shades of white. The cars were inside the showroom on both occasions, so perhaps if they were both outside in the sun they would've looked more different.

If you really like Moon White, go for it. Otherwise, I would suggest to stick with Candy White and save some money.

Just to update.

I ordered my vehicle yesterday, been told delivery will potentially be early April but not yet confirmed.

Candy White SE-L 2.0TDI DSG 4x4 with Spare Wheel on a 12,000 mile 4 year PCP.

Now to sort out GAP insurance as the dealer wants £400 for it!

I'd be interested in people's experience with GAP providers too. I know some insurance companies will give you 12 months on your standard car insurance. But there are a couple of companies on Quidco that specialise and seem much cheaper than the dealer.

Surprised they charge extra for the Candy White - was the 'standard' white on my Yeti

They started to charge when white was the in colour. Now they call it special candy white. And charge you £200

I have a Candy White Karoq. Personally I think solid white looks whiter than metallic.

I also have a Candy white one. White get dirty quickly but it looks great when clean and is the easiest colour repair/patch-up when it collects stone-chips, scuffs and scratches. IMO the colour suits the car.

I think the other way candy white is more cream like old gloss paint and moon white has a sort of blue tinge

I'm afraid I would have to argue with you about getting dirty quickly. White is probably one of the colours that appears to stay clean longest. It goes from white to an off white, whereas other colours noticeably change. The first time you really notice how dirty your white car is when you start to wash it.

I agree with this. My wife Candy White Fabia rarely looks dirty. For another few weeks, I have a black car. Serviced and washed today by the dealer, after the 8 mile drive home on wet roads, it already needs another wash. My first and last black car. Candy white has a slight yellowed tinge to it. Wife loves the colour.

The world would be dull if we all held the same opinion. My opinion is that white gets dirtier quicker than any other colour car I have owned. I wash my cars at the same time (typically every-other Sunday). My Race blue Octavia looks cleaner for longer than my Candy Karoq. Any mud or fly splats are immediately visible on a white car. After rain has dried, dirt rings are more noticeable on the roof and bonnet. I share the same opinion regarding white shirts, white footbals, white shoes, white walls etc. Of course, this is just my view, but based upon honest personal experience.
