Looks highly desirable. Skoda are bringing out great cars these days. Fab video as usual.

[DJL]

Love it when he dresses to match the car.
Dude is a legend. 🍸

[SudSale]

Skoda did have nicer interior and the materials seems way better than any new Audi revealed
Also no piano black at all is a great achivement
Kudos to them

[etallr]

I've got a kodiaq VRS (2019) and it's done just shy of 90, 000miles. Door sill guards working fine on all doors, no problems at all 😅

[justininfrance]

As a 63 year old man who has never spent more than 10k on any car, I watch these reviews much like a Martian would look at Love Island.

[andrejkrusic]

I had previous model with door protection feature for 5 years, cca 100 kkm. It hold without any And I have kids, so they were bumped on a daily basses.

[davidemartorana]

I hope we get a superb VRS, that would be cool

Thank you Thomas for your reviews! You are the first one who made and posted online a review of the new RS! Gratitude!🤝👍💪

[PawelR]

Wow what a nice car. Skoda brand looking good and strong. Sadly my Poland is not making any cars

[neilwhittaker]

Well done, skoda, and spare tyre in the boot.

[tacodias]

The steering looks cheaper with the S K O D A lettering instead of the logo….

Stupid design trend

[robertreid]

Once again perfectly matching your outfit to the vehicle. Thank you, from a subscriber in the Uk, for another year of your professional reviews. On the back of your Skoda superb review I am now a contented owner of a Superb Lauren and Klement TSI 4x4.Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours.❤️

[tenajnin]

Had my Kodiaq Sportline since 2022 and zero issues with the pop out door protectors. Frequently get comments about what a great idea they are and how nice the car is.

[neilscott]

Hello from England, a great detailed review... Thank You !!!!

[tei]

I'm not a SUV lover but this car is awesome, best SUV with the BMW X5.

[TheSushrut]

I own the 1st generation Skoda Kodiaq since 2018 and that door protection thing works perfectly even after 6.5 years!

[jasondickens]

I just love how the best feature sets of VW are present here in this product. For instance covered cup holders, manual climate controls, track moving rear seats and reclining functions all present in one vehicle. Even Audi could stand to learn from this product. Too bad the US market can’t get a version of a small SUV with this degree of integrated functionality. The Kodiaq RS is a winner of a product.

[elliex]

Very hilarious and impressive with the Autogefühl Fake Exhaust Police T-Shirt 👏👍
Good sense of humour, Tomas.

The car is really beautiful with the exterior black accents.

[tomquimby]

I really appreciate your time stamped reviews where we can skip to the price, then wince at the 60k euro price tag and then just skip the rest of the review.
