Just dropped in again as I was passing. Two young folk in there, super-courteous to give them full credit, apologised for being very short staffed etc etc. Found a key for an Arkana after a while, told me it was a new model... The export plastic is still all over two of the three cars on display and the third has an empty soft drink bottle in it. How to sell cars, eh? Not.Just a thought, John, perhaps a phone call to the dealership before you arrive might ensure the sales staff are back from the Pub?
Anyway I've no doubt they are perfectly good vehicles but regarding load capacity they are surprisingly small to me and no substitute for a Scenic, that's for sure. The first year's depreciation would buy a low mileage Scenic too, and they are still around if you look hard! The young man reckoned my best buy to replace a Scenic would be a Kangoo, and I reckon he's right unless I go and buy the new Skoda with removable seats! Of course I'll be buying nothing for some years I hope.
Not for the first time, I've been told they can't make cars like Scenics any more as they can't meet safety standards. The Scenic has had 5 stars since 2003 or something like that, but maybe the standards have changed?
