Car & Autocar also saying the ride a bit firm without the optional dampers. The list goes on. The Kodiaq SEL includes leather power seats. Might be a better option. The SE spec won’t suit me on the scheme as needs too many additional pricey packs. I’ve had VWs going back to a GTI mark 2 in 1987, plus a couple of 3 series and a CRV. Looks like it might be a change to Korean.
