1 week agoBlogsComments Off on New Skoda Kodiaq is a comfy, clever SUV with loads of space – but it’s let down by an ugly detail
SPOT a 25-plate and then look at its wheels.
They’re likely to be covered with dark grey “aero inserts” that look like the old hubcaps from your Austin Montego back in ’88.
The seven-seat Skoda Kodiaq pulls off a sleek estate-style shape despite its jumbo SUV sizeSuppliedThe tail has a slightly pinched look, which I’m sure is for aerodynamic purposes, but also gives it a sportier vibeSuppliedSuppliedThe tech is decent – although the two screens are a little smaller than I was expecting, especially the dash display[/caption]
“Attractive from every angle” is how Skoda describes the latest Kodiaq, its flagship SUV.
Well, it would be without those dreary discs.
For a jumbo SUV – the Kodiaq also comes as a seven-seat version – it manages to have the kind of sleek silhouette you get with a top-end estate, borrowing heavily from the popular Superb.
The tail has a slightly pinched look, which I’m sure is for aerodynamic purposes, but also gives it a sportier vibe.
It’s a chunky beast, tipping the scales at over two tonnes, so the 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid in our test car doesn’t blast it along.
Horsepower is a smidge over 200hp and maximum torque is only 250Nm, so you can do the math.
But this isn’t a car designed for acceleration. It’s built for ferrying about a lot of people and their stuff in comfort.
And it manages that well.
The boot is also HUGE. You can fill it with 745 litres of luggage (1,945 litres with the seats down), which, as I can attest, is comfortably a week’s worth of French supermarket produce for eight people.
And it’s a very efficient ride. Far from as thirsty as you would expect from something so big.
After I’d run the battery down, a full 47-litre tank of petrol was giving me comfortably over 400 miles, so roughly 45mpg.
Way off the ridiculous official 565mpg. The tech is decent – although the two screens are a little smaller than I was expecting, especially the dash display.
And it has more charging points than you’ve probably got devices, including a wireless phone dock which there is no excuse to leave out any more.
Ultimately, whatever bells and whistles and “SportLine” badges they stick on this car, it is a family car, and by that measure it is a very good car.
Just swap the naff wheels.
Love or hate – what do you think of the wheelsSupplied

EVERY week it seems there’s a new special edition to drum up sales.
But here’s something we haven’t seen before.

The eBay Edition.
Upgrade your motor — of any age — with some modern low-cost tech you can fit in a jiffy at home.
Search for eBay’s “My Garage” page, tap in your car reg, and away you go. Only parts and accessories compatible with that vehicle will show up.
This 20-year-old BMW 3 Series, a tasty 330CI, was bought on eBay for a smidge under £9k.
Manual gearbox.
Rear-wheel drive.
Sweet 3-litre in-line six with just 85,000 miles on the clock.
Goes like stink.
But it didn’t have any of the in-car tech people want today.
Head-up Display to project speed and other data on to the windscreen in front of you.
Even a reversing camera to stop you hitting something you shouldn’t.
All for less than £300.

Some drivers like the added assurance of blind spot warning sensors, dash cams and a GPS tracker. So it’s got them too.
Then there’s the bangin’ aftermarket Gladden sound system with the woofer fitted neatly inside the spare wheel in the boot.
BMW M Sport floor mats — from BMW’s official eBay store — and refurbished kick plates freshen things up.
The Michelin rubber was ordered and fitted via eBay’s one-stop tyre shop.
My friend spent a total of £2,123 on kit. So that’s just over £11k all-in.
For a stonking “E46” Beemer that’s been modernised and personalised yet still looks exactly as it should.
I’m a little bit jealous.
Almost a third of the 36 million cars on our roads are more than 12 years old. Which means there’s lots of drivers missing out on useful everyday tech.
If that’s you, jump on t’interweb and configure your own eBay Edition.
Then ask a mate to help fit it.

1 week agoBlogsComments Off on Horse racing tips: ‘He looks a stunning handicap blot for new trainer’ – Templegate’s Thursday NAP
TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday’s action confident of building the bank for a decent weekend of action.
Back a horse by clicking their odds below.
BOILING POINT (3.45 Newcastle, nap)
The unexposed four-year-old was a smart performer for Roger Varian last season, winning a Listed contest at Newmarket before a solid fourth over a mile in a red-hot Group 3 at Goodwood in August. He was competing with the likes of Lead Artist and Dancing Gemini in that lofty contest and should be able to overcome a mark of 107 on his handicap debut for his new trainer Karl Burke.
SAHANA (4.45 Newmarket, nb)
Was a revelation when making a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth two weeks ago. She travelled strongly and produced a sharp turn of foot to win smoothly. A 5lb rise is unlikely to stop her and she’s just the type to run up a sequence of wins in the next month or so.
POMME POMME (8.15 Hamilton, treble)
Can land a superb six-timer.Jack Channon’s improving filly started life off in handicaps off a mark of 47 but, after five wins, she is now racing off 78. She will be short odds but is clearly thriving and should have too much for her modest rivals.
COGITATE (4.10 Newmarket, Lucky 15)
It was hard not to be impressed with his win at Salisbury last month and he should take some stopping here.
