Description
This car has 5 thousand pounds worth of options: leather, panoramic sunroof, 100kW charging, metallic paint, reversing camera, paddles to adjust the regen, climate pack and chrome pack.
We like our Enyaq so much we have a new one on order! We like it because it suits us so well: it's easy to drive, quiet, fast enough, with a comfortable and secure ride, it's easy to get in and out of (we're old) and has room in the back to get child seats (and grandchildren) in and out - and in the boot for 2 lurchers! Running costs are tiny. Average energy consumption of 3.7m/kWh (over the last 42k miles) and cheap overnight electricity means the cost per mile is less than 2p on local journeys, less than 3.5p overall taking account of occasional top ups on longer journeys. Servicing every 2 years. Battery capacity is 90% of the original 58kWh capacity as per the digital display showing 153m, 75% charge and 3.9m/kWh. (100% charge would be 204m at 3.9m/kWh = 52.31kW i.e. 90% of 58). Thia is in line with normal experience with these batteries suggesting 2% per year degradation. There are still three years battery warranty left. We only ever charge to 80% except for much longer journeys. Tyres are Goodyear Vector Allseasons with between 4.7 and 5.3mm tread left according to a recent health check by the Skoda dealer - video available (wouldn't upload).
Faults: charge port cover latch and puddle lights Skoda logo both sorted under warranty. Noisey rear suspension cured (on 30 04 26) with new drop-link under extended warranty. The SOS emergency phone warning light is a false indicator as shown by the fact that the button works and calls 999! The dealer wants 272 pounds to replace the special battery that serves only this function but also suggested trickle charging the 12v battery might cure it (1 of 5 recognised possible cures which don't involve replacing the battery) but this also suggests the special battery is not at fault. I'm negotiating with them to resolve this.
