I always said I would NEVER have a manual (so did all my friends), but after driving my Fabia vRS back in 2012 I could never go back to a manual, and now all my mates have autos and so does the wife !

 

Should have said Auto !!

I didn’t even contemplate getting a DSG as all my cars (except a few hire cars I’ve driven) have been manual. But kind of regret that now as with the ACC it’s a bit weird having the car slow down automatically but still having to manually shift down the gears.  Maybe next time!

Glad to hear you're happy with your new car and agree, dsg is a fantastic gearbox.

 

Thanks Nicky. Yes I'm delighted. I can see why there is a growing waiting list! 

Like others, my dealer said he is not allowed to order any more Karoq's for demonstrators.

Took me old mum out in it, round the block. She could not tell when it changed gear, up or down. To be honest nor could I!

After 20+ years of diesels its refreshing to get back to petrol.

Sure, I'll take some more pictures in the next days. The car will hopefully be accompanied by a salmon, because I'm going salmonfishing  and I'll be aware of the next full moon 30 april.

Never mind the car, where is this salmon!

[TheRoq]

She’s finally arrived!

The 1.5 engine with DSG is very nice, smooth and powerful.

Got 41 mpg on the 30 mile drive home though M25 congestion.

Got the all weather mats and the double sided boot mat thrown in for the delay.

The columbus head unit’s going to take a bit of figuring out though.

I’m a happy boy now!

Damn, but that's a fine smart looking car. And for a moment there on my phone screen, I thought it was the right colour too 

 

Enjoy

Very nice by the way, and hopefully worth the wait !

It seems everyone else in Surrey likes it too.

The showroom and car park was full of quartz grey Karoq’s and Kodiaq’s.

Common as muck now 

[Michael G]

TBF, it's likely we'd have gone for some form of grey - but after a cappu beige Yeti - which looked silver in most lights - we really wanted a change.

 

It is a great colour 

[OldKaroq]

@The Roc Congratulations!

Looks great, in spite of you not having chosen the Business Grey....

I think its a great car. I am enjoying driving again, due to the petrol/DSG combo combined with a very comfortable ride.

Enjoy!

WOW..................what an outstanding car. 

 

Did you also opt for the driver key personalisation as well??

No, its only me driving it.

Just been out in the dark to set up the interior lighting.

Looks really nice with the white backlit buttons and ambient lighting (went with dark blue ).

[Nicky_P]

We have dark blue too although a friend of ours changed it to purple, big Prince fan....

Speaking of lighting, one thing i've not tried out yet is the led headlights, never driven it in total darkness. I need to do a late night drive down the lanes see if they impress or not.

Collected my Karoq Edition yesterday from Robinsons Skoda Norwich who were very helpful. After deciding against ordering new due to long lead times (reading on this forum about delays etc) I found this one with 10 miles on the clock and put deposit down without even seeinf the car. 4am start yesterday morning but fair to say I am absolutely in love with it! Very long drive back to Southampton but enjoyable nonetheless!

 

Only slight downside was 10 miles after leaving dealer stone flew up and cracked windscreen! Was about 2 inches when it happened and about 6 when I got home! Already booked in for a screen replacement next week.  

[TheRoq]

Good find, looks great.

Sorry to hear about the windscreen, what terrible luck for that to happen.

[Nicky_P]

Great you got the car super quick but bad luck with the windscreen.

[OldKaroq]

Great car Jordy, glad you are pleased. Sorry about the windscreen, thats sheer bad luck.

[Jordyl10]

Thanks all! Bit of a shame RE windscreen but it’s one of those things I suppose. Just feels a bit worse on new car day!

I'm sorry,  but this is the only salmon I'm able to show. BUT next weekend I am going salmonfishing again and hopefully....

Collected yesterday my 1.0 Style DSG Karoq after Fabia I, Roomster, Fabia II and Golf Mk7
