The “new” “VAG” is increasingly disappointing with quality. “Czech” of the Russian assembly Skoda Karoq an example of work “through the sleeves” and disrespect for the buyer.
2 months have passed since the start of official sales of the new for the CIS market urban crossover Skoda Karoq, and the first cars available so far only in the front-wheel drive 1.4 TSI version with an 8-speed automatic transmission were sold at prices ranging from 1.5 to 1.75 million rubles. »In Russia. The car attracted attention and became acquired, albeit not as actively as the rate was made – after all, VAG with its once excellent reputation.
But Karoq was not as good as we would like for 1.5-1.6 million or more. The first annoying “jambs” the car can “flash” immediately, at minimum runs. Of course, Skoda Karoq is not without its positive features, on which numerous bloggers, reviewers, official dealers and marketers are focusing their attention. However, after buying a car that is by no means cheap by Russian standards, the motorist discovers flaws.
Judging by the reviews, such “jambs” are the deformation of the gum between the antenna and the roof. It is so glued, and this alone can not be fixed. A trifle, but unpleasant – a flaw in the Nizhny Novgorod assembly. Also, when driving on an uneven drogue (country primer), door locks begin to creak already in the first hundred kilometers. You can fix it by “collective farming” – by wrapping the brackets with electrical tape. The fifth door does not close well – you have to forcefully slam it, and sometimes make several attempts.
The “head” of Swing is very “weak” – there is no promised power and sound purity, it feels like no more than 5 watts per channel. The volume settings via bluetooth are frustrating – there are only 3 positions: quiet, medium and loud, and “loud” does not get louder in the middle, even though it is added to the scale. Also, the multimedia system often loses touch with the smartphone.
There are questions to the “start-stop” system – it creates discomfort: it is worth a little harder to apply the brake, and the engine will shut off. This is especially annoying at traffic lights in the city stream. There is an electric handbrake, there is no auto-hold, “smart” self-government mechanisms are incomprehensible and “damp”.
“A new foreign car wrapped in electrical tape, with non-closing doors for over 1.5 llamas! Class! “,” This is all because of the Nizhny Novgorod assembly, “” went to the salon to look at her. He sat down and immediately went out. Ж-И-Г-У-Л-И ”, comment motorists.
