Skoda Kamiq (Monte Carlo) - REVIEW 

Thank you for such a kind comment. Glad this video helped you make your decision. It is a really great car.

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for your positive review. We were very disappointed by the audio when reviewing the outside of the car but sadly we were unable to redo it as we only had the car for a short time and I was unaware of the bad sound until we came to edit it.

Same here replacing my Arona excellence plus with one of these.

@@stantheman9976 you shouldn’t regret it. I’ve had my Monte Carlo since April and love it to bits.

Thanks for the comment. There is a disclaimer underneath the video warning of the poor sound (something wrong with the phone on the day of recording) for a portion of the video. I do apologise about this.

Thanks for your kind comments!

You’ve certainly made a good buy there… hopefully it won’t feel too long to wait. 😀

Well done on the order. Did you buy any extra options with it? I think there is a winter pack which includes heated windscreen washer jets. Presumably this is to defrost the windscreen? Wish they offered the heated screen like other cars… I wanted electric but that’s a paid extra also folding side mirrors £££. If you want a slimline spare wheel that an extra, they just give you the expanding foam repair kit in case you get a puncture. Still looking to purchase one though…

@@Tomster414 I didn’t get any optional extras but now I wish I did

Hi Tom, This car didn’t have any optional extras because this would have meant a waiting time of nearly 1 year at the time of purchase. This car was a pre-registered one so it was already on the forecourt waiting for purchase. 😀

4 months? I was quoted 52 weeks for this exact car today :/

I’ve not heard about there being a facelift to be honest but I am aware that often with Skoda because of the vast range of options available there will often be a long waiting time for your model to be built. Thanks for watching the video. 😀👍🏼

@@rolyswheels 8 month wait for my 2023 model

Thanks for watching and for your kind comments.

Thanks for watching. Not done a Karoq I’m afraid. We may do in the future but none available to us to review just yet. 😀

As I’m 6’6” tall I’m always looking for a car/suv with lots of room

Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m glad you liked the video (despite the sound problems 😬) It really is a great car. Would definitely recommend. 👍🏼

It is quite good. You can’t tell on this video so well as the sound quality was quite poor. (Broken phone!)

I’m 6 ft 1. It is a very comfy car 🚗 Glad you’re enjoying it too.

There is no open/close button. You have to open and close it manually on the Monte Carlo.

I think the remote boot release is an option on Executive model ?

Thanks for watching. No sadly this one does not come with reverse cameras. If you order from the factory though you can add them on as an optional extra. I believe it was in the region of between £200-300

I ordered my kamiq monte csrlo two days ago the optional extra for the reversible camera wqs £440

I there may have been an option to spec it up if you bought the car from brand new but this was the standard option that was on the car when the owner bought it.

It’s not the top model, it’s the sports version. The top model is the SE L Executive. I’ve got one on order and can’t wait……

@@Jestey6 The Monte Carlo is more expensive than the SE L so that to me means it's the top model really which is why i'm surprised it doesn't have climate control as standard

@@danbrowning4000 Hi Dan. What you’re actually saying is that it’s the most expensive, so any car with a diamond encrusted steering wheel, by your reckoning would be the top model. My take is that although it is the most expensive, by only £300, it’s only because it is being promoted in the UK, as being something different, and that does not make it the top of the range. When you look a the specs you will discover that it not only lacks climate control, it lacks many other features. The SE L Executive is far better equipped, has the same performance, is just as economic, and is far more comfortable. And that logically must make it the top of the range. Have you driven both models? I have. If you have not, drive both and then make a judgement.

@@Jestey6 what has driving them go to do with it having aircon or climate control? nothing

Not the Monty, but an option on other models. The best is the 1.5 TSI SEL EXEC, with the sunroof as an option.

I am sorry you felt this way about the video. Unfortunately I was unaware of the problem with the recording until I came to listen to it back by which time it was too late as I only had the car for one day. I thought long and hard about whether to bother uploading it at all, but I did eventually decide to do so and am glad that I did, as it is my second best performing video on the channel (despite the obvious problem with the sound for some of it.) I did put a disclaimer on the video about the sound and which bits were the worst for the sound. Hope you come back to watch some more as I no longer having the recording equipment I did on this video! 😀

I did put a message on the video to advise that there was poor sound in certain parts of the video. I debated putting this review up due to this but eventually decided to give it a go. This has actually ending up being one of our best performing and most liked videos. I appreciate your comments about the sound however and have since got new recording equipment so this shouldn’t happen again in the future. 🙂

I do apologise for the poor sound quality. I advised that this was problem in the video description. It’s not for the whole video, just for the outside section.

@@rolyswheels thank you for your reply, i have watched it again, thank you for taking the time do do the very informative review
