Hi, I'm Paul and I'm due to collect a 2023 Kodiaq from Skoda Burntwood on Thursday. I've been a huge fan of Citroen, which I've driven continually since 1973, but the brand I've loved is now, unfortunately, just a pale shadow of the innovative, quirky marque of the past.

I need a good car for day-to-day use, but powerful enough, with a useful diesel engine, to pull a caravan around the country and hopefully carry a couple of eMTB's in the back - a job ably done by my old 2.0 C4 Grand Space Tourer. The choice was between a 2.2 Kia Sorento and a Kodiaq and I'm hoping that my first Skoda will satisfy my needs and be the right car for the job.

I’m also taking out my first PCP deal, with Skoda, but I’ve really struggled (and failed) in trying to complete the agreement online. Maybe it’s me, but I’ve found the app they use to be dreadful!

Anyway, thanks for having such a useful forum site, I can’t wait to pick up tips and advice from fellow owners.

Thanks, Paul

Hi paul,

Welcome to forum! the kodiaq should enough power and space to handle what you to throw at it...

somewhat biased, but you made the better choice over the sorento.

ive test driven a couple of kias over the yrs and they feel... light? weak? thin?
