The curved edge of the ice scraper is just to break through a thicker layer of ice. Once you can get under the ice, flip the back boy round and use that flat black edge. It’s the best ice scraper I’ve ever had, providing you know how it use it…

It's also got a tyre tread depth guage on one corner. Simply clever!

@@Yelonek1986 Because when you put it away having used it, any ice still attached will melt. From either the fuel flap on all other Skodas or the tailgate on the Enyaq, any water will be outside of any seals and can drain away. If it's in the drivers door, then the seal would keep the water inside the car, which is undesirable.

The blank screen is a known issue for the VW group. Happens in my Arteon all the time and the dealership doesn't want to acknowledge the issue. Carplay also disconnects frequently. I have a workaround that doesn't envolve turning the car off and back on: press and hold the power off button on the infotainment for 10 seconds. Not until it shows the clock. No. Just press and hold depressed and after some 20 seconds, the entire unit reboots and it is back in action. At least until it happens again.

Hello from Norway! Rory you are the autoking of the motor journalists. Bought the Skoda Citigo 18 months ago as a cheap runaround, we live on a mountain farm 23 km from the nearest shops and the missus had a 60 km working commute. My good lady has astonishingly covered nearly 20 K km, the wee Skoda has saved us a bunch of krona, now we are both pensioners we are looking to swap the Citigo for an Enyaq, after they have fixed that screen and we need the AWD for winter. Most impressed with the Citigo, a fantastic little electric that gives us 270 km per charge in summer. Keep up the great reporting Rory, you are always worth it! PS when the going gets rough we have an old Toyota pickup, and for long journeys my 1991 200D Mercedes gets us, slowly, to our destinations. Keeping it simple! Cheers, Alex.

Great review, Rory, very honest and fair. I’ve just taken delivery of an Enyaq and absolutely love it, styling, quality and practicality are spot on. I love the ambient lighting inside which you can personalise including ‘Skoda’ puddle lights. Mine is on the 21in wheels too and I agree ride quality is remarkable. It also handles really well thanks to its very low centre of gravity and good weight distribution. I like how configurable it is with a great range of options that ensures you can have exactly the features you want, but not the ones you don’t want! The ice scraper doubles as a magnifying glass and you’re using the wrong edge of it, the others are square! You might need it on an icy day, not everyone will charge their car every night so might not want to wake the car up before they’re planning to use it. Mine is averaging 3.8 miles per Kw which is really good imo.

Nice one, Rory! 👏🏻👏🏻

We've had this car for a year, having come from a 335d I've not missed the performance. What I've gained is size with the same quality, the screen froze sometimes in the BMW too, when it's hot inside it's likely to freeze. I've had over 4Kwh just about every time I drive it between Apr-Oct yes in the cold it's more like 3kwh. Not fussed about public charge costs so long as you're not doing over 250 miles a day. I've heard people say when we go to France or when we go to Devon.... That's not every day is it? I'd recommend an EV and this car particularly especially if you have off-street parking if you are reliant on public charging and do distances then perhaps EVs are not for you right now that said you can charge often over 100kw now so again but an issue. The main thing is that Skoda have got it right, he's right you get in it and it's easy to drive and like you've been driving it for years. I'm looking to change cars and take advantage of salary sacrifice with my new job and I don't think for the money I can get anything better. Perhaps the EV6.

Excellent review as always Rory. Knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. Wish we had politicians we could trust like you.

The screen locking up is incredible. Most processors have a watchdog facility that forces systems to automatically reboot if they aren't periodically updated, like a deadman's handle. A crash is bad but in an infotainment system it should recover on its own, which while annoying is a lot better than having to disconnect the battery...

The Skoda ice scraper is one of the best I've ever used. I use the bottom flat edge which is black. Not the curved green side.

Like this kind of content 👍🏻

@11:54 - had a similar problem driving in Poland last week (39 Celsius). The rear heated seats came on by themselves and wouldn’t turn off! My kids were complaining but after a charge stop an hour or so later, they turned off again. I haven’t had many screen freezes since getting the car in Nov 2021 but there are definitely some issues which hopefully get ironed out in the v3 firmware roll-out.

Lol Rory, wrong side of the scraper man :D But hey man needed a gimmick, man found one. I quite like this car though, dont agree with the B score. And yes, VAG infotainment systems do like to freeze every now and then, the fix i found was turn the ignition off for about 15 secs, lock-unlock the car and its going back up again. The blank screen though, on a car where everything is on that shitty little screen, not good. Great video as always Rory!

In September last year, my Enyaq drove from Luxembourg to Groningen, stopping at 420km for a short recharge at at high speed charger

I love when reviewers talk about range because it's SO relative isn't it. My 2016 Zoe does about 70 miles of range in Winter and 90 in Summer, so I can't use it to visit my parents who are a 1.5hr motorway drive away but I can commute to work on the daily and do all my local runabout shopping etc without a worry here in South Manchester. I also recharge it on my driveway and that's usually every other day. I DREAM of a car which does 215 miles at WORST. Most people focus too much on range when they will rarely need to drive 200 miles on the daily anyway. Of course, value for money is the actual factor. If you can get more range in a comparable EV for a similar price then the Enyaq isn't good value even if 200 miles is more than enough.

Finally a vid from Rory .How u man?

The thing about big wheels is they do help straddle the pot holes and sunken drains which in the UK is a big necessity nowadays. I feel much safer with them myself especially when driving in the dark. This seems very like the Kamiq which I own which is a brilliant car in most ways. The hatch pull is awkward and the only other problem is the awful video screen even when working if you want to adjust ventilation and I find I need my wife as a co-pilot to navigate around it whilst I concentrate on the road. It is odd how they will pull you over for taking a swig from a water bottle on the move but nose down playing a computer game to spot the control which used to be a physical button is OK. I also switch off eco start which I would not need to in electric. Works fine in a manual but in an automatic the engine starting and the car engaging gear simultaneously is alarming to say the least when moving on to a road in terms of delay and transmission durability. The satellite navigation is poor also constantly telling me to do u turns or go down single track roads yet when I go down my chosen route travel time decreases. I would love this car but way out of reach in price. I think electric makes sense as a small basic car in a 2 car family but not yet as a main means of transport on a budget.

I'd like to think the infotainment issue is most likely software related and that there should be an update to fix it as I had a similar issue with my work van and android auto only working for about 5 mins before the whole thing froze and it stopped working though as the van wasn't mine I never bothered with getting it sorted.

In winter, the 4x4 sport 80 range is close to only 300km, which is just ridiculous.. I hope that in the future the range would have to be informed in motorway speeds as well.. Many people would be surprised. It's a big car, and the wind resistance is massive in speeds around 120km/h. Great car if u don't drive long distances.

Great video and car but like you say vw group needs to fix the issues like boot not closing, software etc

If the screen goes blank or you have an issue. Click and hold the power button on the infotainment unit and it will reboot. Problem solved, well, sort of.

This guy is one of the best reviewers out there. The black screen is a dealbreaker. Shame. Car seems quite refined, overall.

I suspect the black screen occurred when he slid his finger along under the screen to reduce the volume- if you keep going you touch the on/off button and off goes the screen. That what we find on ours.
