Too hard to grab when driving and child wants a drink. The back door ones hold nothing!Originally Posted by Dzl_Dubba
Another dislike is the lack of struts on the bonnet. I thought the ol stick was long gone. ....

Agree with your findings. TBH was disappointed with centre console trays/cup holders or lack thereof and places to put stuff. Given previous hoo ha about Skoda being wonderful for space and storage.Too hard to grab when driving and child wants a drink. The back door ones hold nothing!

Superskoda have struts for the bonnet. Will be a mod that I will be doing.
Anybody had an issue finding the bonnet release. I felt like a right wally, kept looking for it on the rhs like my other VW's.

I have a standard 600ml water bottle for the sides or centre. Plenty for a short trip.
I think someone here wanted to order the gas struts, but either the shipping was too expensive or they didn't ship them here.

In the door holders - that's where we put our water bottlesI found my first dislike. The drink holders in the center console don't fit my or my kids drink bottles.Hopefully pic shows how it's not sitting inside. Didn't have this issue with my Golf.
Anyone have any suggestions for alternative options?

Your kids must be super size with drink bottles like that. Only joking. But surely a 600 ml bottle is sufficient.Too hard to grab when driving and child wants a drink. The back door ones hold nothing!

Lol! It is a 600ml bottle from Aldi. I'll have to look into something narrower...

Coffee cup and mobile phone insert only in my cup holders. Water bottle in the door doesn't seem a challenge for me to grab on the fly.

The adjustable cup holders in the back seat centre section should be sufficient?
