    Have you got the Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo on your small SUV consideration list? CarsGuide's Andrew Chesterton has just spent three months behind the wheel of one to figure out how spacious it is, how nice it is to drive, and how it handles family (well, corgi...) duties.

    I bought the LE version of this car and I’m in love. I note that the jerky start took only a little getting used to and then it was fine. I felt this was due to the dual-clutch transmission… it takes a moment to get into gear initially.

    It’s a fantastic car
    Looks great and the Monte Carlo in that spec with options is very premium etc
    Not budget & basic
    U get what u pay for
    Not everyone needs a large vehicle
    So spending up to / around
    $ 40 k for a highly equipped version of these compact SUV is very popular nowadays.
    New versions of Kamiq just been launched in Australia
    From $ 30 k to $ 40 k
    U get a choice of models.

    Why is Skoda still giving out MY20 review units. If you buy a MY21 you miss out on the cooled glovebox, boot torch and the extra shopping bag hooks. You do get a much nicer steering wheel. I’ve got an MY21 Monte Carlo with Travel Pack, I would highly recommend it particularly if you were considering a T-Cross or even a T-Roc, the interior is so much nicer then the latter despite costing $8000 less.

    39k aussie dollars isn't too bad when you consider this spec is 40k in euro. Crazy prices for what would have been a 25k small family car only a few years ago.

    Hi, great reviews, i just have a question; why don’t you the engine power in horse power unit? hp is a lot familiar than KW.

    • @Dato1K
      @Dato1K 2 роки тому

      Because here in Australia, where this video is made, we use the Metric System, so KW is far more familiar than HP.

    As mentioned in another comment below the glass roof is not ideal for the Australian summers, so much so the salesperson at the Skoda dealership we test drove one at advise us not to get one…”Great driving through the city (Sydney) at night but other than that I wouldn’t recommend one” …his word not ours. After taking it for a test drive ( it’s a great little car to drive) and weighing up the options out there my partner ended up going for a Kia Seltos sports plus.

      Closest to a VW Taos in size but the Taos uses the MQB platform shared with the golf 7 and Tiguan whereas this uses the MQB A0 platform shared with the VW Polo and T-Cross not sold in North America.

      No offence
      But u r correct
      All car prices have gone up heaps in last 12 months
      Similar vehicles from Mazda. Hyundai. Kia. Etc are also easily $ 40 k for the top spec models
