My new 2l TDI SE L Estate was delivered yesterday lunchtime, so not had much time with it yet. I have moved from a 2018 2l tsi executive hatch to this tdi estate. Firstly I thought in the short drive I had that it was very responsive, but the ride was much firmer and the bumps felt more. I will check tyre pressures today. I felt the car was in sports mode and was disapointed to find there are no driving modes, so obviously not in sports. Checked I hadn't moved into Sports on gear selector. That will take a bit of getting used to, I kept putting my left hand down when I wanted to reverse. I went for a quick 10 mile run up the motorway and tried the ACC, which was fine. I came home on A roads and town work, and all seems fine. I have already found out how to get rid of the nannying features and switch them off. Unfortunately not permenantly. The infotainment screen is a steep learning curve, for instance, I eventually found the radio, but when I moved on to a different screen I couldn't find it again. That's a job for today along with fitting my dash cam So first impressions overall are good; I'm not unhappy!

After 8 months with my Mk4 I still occasionally find my left hand pawing the air trying to find the reverse gear selector 😕

There should be a Music icon at the bottom of the infotainment screen to get you back to the radio settings. Otherwise, the Home icon at the bottom right is your friend - wherever you get lost in the maze of screens it will take you back to the main page so you can start searching again.

I recommend spending a little time to customise the icons at the top of the screen. Decide what you will need most often and put them there; it makes a real difference for ease-of-use when driving. For example, I have the Auto Hold selector because I need to turn it on and off when moving in and out of my garage. That means I can select it with one tap instead of hunting through menus.

Found the music icon so can now play music. Went to fit my dashcam, but the port on the rear mirror housing is just an oblong hole. Nothing to plug into, the plug just disappears into the hole. Luckily there is a Škoda dealer a couple of miles from me.
