    Few thousand kilometers
    Being a Skoda fanatic I'd always wished that they would launch an automatic yeti, however, they one-upped this wish by launching the kodiaq. The Skoda experience was seamless and easy as always, they could've done a better job a tafe access with the overall cleanliness while handing over the car, the lights were fogged and the mud flaps were muddy. This car is a looker, it's sure to get oodles of attention, wanted and unwanted. There's something about the way Skoda designs their cars that make each one an instant hit! I chose the scout over the L&K but I am already regretting the decision, the coloured bumpers and the interiors give this car a whole different amazing look. Apart from aesthetics, there's not much else, however. The car feels like a sedan to drive and has the stance of an SUV this is exactly why I bought this car and not any of the other jazzy suvs which cost a lot lesser than this car . Minimum body roll, butter smooth transmission, responsive throttle and accurate steering make driving this car a dream, however compared to the octavia (with which it shares an engine) I'd say the engines underpowered and could do with a bit more punch. This car definitely deserves a better engine . The seats are plush and spacious except for the last row which is strictly for kids. The sunroof is a wide panorama , back seat windows come with privacy screens, headrest with fold out head bracers . They've really thought about ever small feature to make this car unique. Be sure to see the feature list on their website. The stereo system could do with a little more punch , somehow the canton feels like it's lacking. The android support on the system is seamless and fully functional, can use 'ok,google' as well for the assistant. Default navigation is outdated and I prefer using google maps . My family loves this car and my son's are fascinated by the auto park feature . Elders don't find it hard to get in either as it's not too tall . Long drives are the best . The coasting feature really helps save fuel . Speaking of which I get a decent 10 kmpl average in the city , don't have any outstation. There's definitely a lot they could've done to spruce up the interiors starting with cladding the entire door panel with leatherette and cutting platics to a minimum seeing as the on road price is nearly half a crore! Body coloured bumpers should've come standard and the cabin could've done with some wood panelling to give it a Premium feel inside Overall I'm really happy with my decision and would definitely recommend
