BHPian Jangra recently shared this with other enthusiasts: It’s been a while since I last contributed to this thread dedicated to what is one of my favorite acquisitions. Every day, I create memories with my Kodiaq. It energizes me during my hour-long work commute with its powerful sound system, power-on-tap acceleration, sleek all-black interiors, and smooth, comfortable ride. At the end of the day, it helps me unwind with its pristine interior ambiance, the soft glow of the ambient lighting, and the calming quietness of the cabin. And today, in my free time, I revisited my February 2022 memory of the day I first brought her home by re-reading this entire thread. I recalled those nights when, for no reason, I’d turn the ignition, take her for a drive to Marine Drive, and enjoy those admiring glances from drivers of cars far more expensive than this. Today, my Kodiaq marks 33 months and 23,000 kilometers, with nearly 15,000 of those being on memorable road trips to Goa, Delhi, and Indore. Over these 33 months, this car has become an integral part of my life. It gives me confidence, keeps me safe, and reassures me every day that this was worth every rupee spent. Not once have I felt the pangs of buyer’s remorse or wondered, “What if I had saved my money and bought something else instead?”-a feeling I’ve had with almost all gadgets of today and cars of the past. Sure, I enjoy reading about and admiring the latest launches, but that’s where it ends. Anyway, reading through this entire thread was incredibly nostalgic. Even though this version of the Kodiaq will soon become a part of history with the facelift arriving on our shores, the thread leaves a lasting impression that feels timeless. It’s this sentiment that has made me decide to keep this one alive for as long as I own the car. Quite impressed by the picture below showcasing the three different versions of the Kodiaq. Three months ago, while reversing, I didn’t notice a protruding tree branch, which ended up giving my Kodiaq a need for a bit of a “spinal adjustment.” I plan to get it repaired in January during the third annual service. The quoted cost is 48,000, which includes removing the perfectly fine Skoda five-letter badge and replacing it with a new one. And my favorite angle, tell when which car looks so clean and stylish under 80 lakhs. What’s up with the wacky design these days! Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
