Do the rear-most have isofix?
My Golf VII 1.4 150 wasn't particularly sprightly; can't imagine the Kodiaq is pokey with 150
il have to check. I haven’t even pulled the 3rd row seats up yet since I’ve had the car (2 weeks) lol

I'd take a stick shift but hey, you drive a fez and I don't
Meh manual, don't care for it much these days

I Youtubed it and it seems to take about 10 seconds to get to 60mph, can't imagine it gets better when it gets to a hill given the lack of torque etc either. 
But as long as it does the job!
Ideal candidate for a remap. Supposedly +33hp +40lb/ft (so realistically maybe 25~hp and 35~lb/ft since the off-the-shelf map places tend to over-estimate) but thats enough to make a hell of a difference.
Just gotta count the days til the powertrain warranty expires I guess.

Beauty. Looks in really good nick.
Ferrari looks decent also.

Is it just the photo or is it a left hooker?
Soldato
Left hooker yup.
True perfection, what an incredible buy!!!!
It's got poke...... as much poke as a soggy banana, if you like that kind of poke
Looks really smart though, like the latest Skodas. Seen a a few of the new Enyaq here in Norway and it's a decent look, similar to an X5.

Coming from a Leon Cupra 290 I can tell you the kodiaq won’t win any races but it’s adequate for my needs.

Someone just pulled out on me at a roundabout - I was already at their junction when they did, hence the dent in the side of my car rather than me going into them
They’ve asked to look into it privately first, so have noted the situation with my insurer. They’ve been extremely cooperative and are happy to go through insurance if it’s mega.
Got graduation coming up in a couple of weeks though
Hoping to have him back by then

That's quite a lot of damage looks like it will need a new door. For that amount of damage I'd personally claim through the other parties insurance as they are going to get a surprise when they get a quote for the repair if dealing with it privately.

That's a right off for sure

If its a write off, most financially appealing option may be to let them write it off, buy it back at salvage for a couple of hundred quid, then buy a red door and get a smart repair done to cover the rest. You might stand to make a few K out of the situation...
Proper job through insurance would be at least a new door skin, possibly full door, and likely the whole side of the car re-painted.

Damage on the rear quarter is the end. Only looks like a fiesta so the insurance company won't bother.

We've got a great family friend who owns a body repair shop - used him for 25+ years and has always done an excellent job.
We’re going to pop in and see what he thinks and go from there

Damage on the quarter looks superficial.
Soldato
Ill have you know it’s not “only” a fiesta
It’s my fiesta, and it’s the best looked after fiesta in the country
Current market value is about £5500 so I don’t think it would be written off. Damage is only panel and could definitely be sorted
