I'll be honest, friends - I'm struggling a little with the Kodiaq I've been running. Yet it is always a seven-seat SUV that weighs over 1800kg and has the intent to remain comfortable as a daily driver. In its demeanour, you could convince yourself you were in a much taller, much heavier, much more easy-to-change-the-interior-temperature Volkswagen Golf GTI. I didn't strictly need to put the back seats down but a treasure like that deserves preferential treatment. If a car alone isn't going to provide one with stories, they're always along for the ride.
