Why did you choose this car?
Build quality, price, looks, safety features, 13 inch screen for most things but with handy piano style keys for things like climate control. Comfort, pretty nippy for the size, it’s a large SUV. Has all the Skoda smart things such as a brolly in the door, clip for tickets and permits, ice scraper in boot lid although that’s not really needed as you can clear the windows and heat the car from the app before you get in the car.
