Our Karoq petrol dsg sel  is shortly coming to the end of it's warranty. It's been fine, comfortable and 20k miles to date  over it's  2 and a half  years  I've had a look at options and think to Audi Q3 looks pretty good. Has anybody switched to or come from aQ3 to/from the karoq. Had a look at the sel replacement ( now SE Edition). Q3 just seems a bit plusher. 

Do you mean the original 3 year warranty? Might be worth enquiring how much an extended Skoa warranty would cost.

Indeed, the original 3 year warranty. 

Aren't they very different cars on the same chassis?

I think they are different cars on same chassis. So I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has changed from one to the other.

Not that it might make any difference, but the direct SEL replacement is the SEL edition not SE edition (SEL edition is a bit plusher than the SE edition)

That's correct but the se édition is pretty much closer to the spec of the current sel.

My mate has a Q5, the same age as my Karoq. We bought them within weeks of each other, both used and similar mileage. Both have ran for coming on for two years with us returning similar mileage and with similar servicing although his service cost him more. My Karog is an sel and is better equipped and better finished than his Q5. His Q5 is bigger but it is in reality not very noticeable. I far prefer my Skoda to his Audi. I'm biased though because of course I'm going to like my car better. The big surprise it that he to also likes my car better. And when you take into account I paid 17 grand for mine from a car supermarket type dealer, he paid over 10 grand more from Audi. I have a full dealer service history, he has not. He got one years warranty,  not needed, I got 3 months, also not needed.  Therfore my opinion is get the soda. However that is on 6 year old now car, new may be a different story. To be honest I would not be disappointed having either of them. Would I pay more for image personally, that would be a no, but make up your own mind.

I looked at the Q3 before buying my Karoq, and was amazed to find the Karoq was much better equipped! The Audi dealer was insisting that Audi couldn't provide heated windscreens because they were patented by Ford, and had no answer when I pointed out that VW and Skoda provided them!
