I picked mine up on the 6th April and have yet to see another one. Anybody else seen any around?

Got asked about mine in Lidl at the weekend. First time I've ever had a car nice enough for someone to ask me about it!
Would be even better if someone asked at Waitrose car park! :D
This was a particularly fancy, newly-built lidl 😂

None seen yet in Petersfield which is my nearest town.

I could be the first if I get my Huggy in the next few weeks

I've been through Petersfield at least half a dozen times in mine...

Just seen the same grey 1 for the 2nd time today, reg ending GDY.

Was behind it joining the M4 @ jct 30 around 8am and it just went around the roundabout @ dunelm in Bridgend.

Ive done 13OO miles and I have only seen 2 others. One was in Cotswolds near Cirencester. The other, rather amazingly is owned in same village as I live in, near Pershore!!! Seen it drive down our lane 7 times and parked at village pub 4 times, so assume its very local anyway. Had a few guys ask at random places what my car is, and all very impressed with design...one very surprised when I said its a Skoda. Lol.

Just seen another 1, petrol blue reg ending pvj in Asda car park Pontprennau.

Looks like mine might not be as exclusive as I thought when I get it.

On a trip back to NZ in December I saw more Kodiaqs in Auckland in three weeks than in three months in London.

They still seem to be a rare sight, though I did see a silver one in Loughton today.

I have just spent the last month driving around a large part of New Zealand, including Auckland and I've only seen one Kodiaq in Hamilton and that was last month.

Only 3 since launch. Are Skoda telling porkies about their popularity?
There is a large Skoda dealer in Bournemouth with a massive catchment area. why am I not seeing any??

I have seen about 5 over the last 6 months.

Last one joined me in the queue at Eurotunnel making our way back to Blighty on 3 Jan this year. A silver one with roof rack. Judging my the wheel trim I think theirs was an Edition.

The Kodiaq seems far from popular.
Or I am not as observant as I could be.

They just can't make enough of them so they're scarce on the roads and will be for a while.

When picking up mine a salesman at the dealership had just sold a Karoq and I mentioned I could never buy a car I hadn't driven. The salesman didn't even care if the customer had a test drive later and decided to cancel as he would be delighted to have the car in stock to sell to someone else. Different car, same shit. Skoda dealers have got it good right now.

There are plenty about. I've lost count of sightings. I have seen 4 different ones today. I have moved about from Hampshire through to Sussex over the 7 months I have had mine though, so covering quite a patch.

Most are probably in dry dock at the local Skoda dealers being repaired for all the technical faults they have.... a tad cynical but probably accurate.

I'm starting to see a few more around Farnborough now. There are 2 quartz grey ones, 2 white ones other than mine and a Cappuccino Beige one that seem to be within a 5 mile radius, not counting the local dealer demonstrators that is.

I see at least 2 a day on my commute round the M60 from M66 to M56 Manchester Airport

They're really all over the place here in Luxland. I see them everywhere. In fact I was going to say they're becoming two a penny, but that would indicate they're so common that they're of little value, and I hope it's not quite come to that yet.

I've just been in the UK for a long weekend these past few days and was happy to spot a couple yesterday - a petrol/lava blue one on the road between Peterborough and Spalding, and a grey one near Stansted airport. In general, though, it seems to me that Skoda continues to be under-represented on the roads in the UK, compared to the numbers in the Benelux countries, Germany, Scandinavia and the Baltic States.

Saw one today on holiday in Brontë Country (Haworth, England), effortlessly cruising up the steep road :0
