Thanks chaps.
I have a Karoq Sportline at present. Originally fitted with 19". 225. 40. TERRIBLE ride.
Went to 16". 215. 60. and it was transformed.
I agree that the Crosstar on a good surface is absolutely fine, but on rubbish roads it is awful. (assuming tyre pressures ARE correct).
I admit I have a spinal problem and I think the much shorter wheelbase of the Honda over the Skoda certainly doesn't help. I found it actually jarred my spine to the degree that I was staring to get a headache after 10miles.
I have had 8 Skodas and have always been very happy with them, bar a few niggly problems, bad enough to involve the dealer, but solvable.
However as Mod on both Kodiaq & Karoq fora, seeing the rapidly increasing problems with new Kodiaqs & Karoqs, plus a friend who is considering rejecting his brand new Octavia iV PHEV due to an apparently insoluble electronic problem. I am not intending to buy any other Skoda. That will also include ANY V.A.G. car.
AS I have said previously I have had 8 Honda, 8 Mitsubishi and 2 Mazda. Never any fault with any of them, admittedly all not too 'electronically blighted apart from the Outlander PHEV.
Most problems seem to be electronics. I think the manufacturers are just trying to be too clever and in many instances, failing miserably!
