    Simply clever

    edit: Skoda is a brand I’ve literally only heard of (from here in Australia) because they advertise constantly on the Tour de France every year. Their tagline is burned into my brain.

    This is neither a good nor a bad thing. It simply is.

      One could say that their advertisement is - simply clever. Bot I might be biased Czech citizen.

      There are some simply clever ideas indeed, like

      • 5 little knobbies at the bottom of the drink holder, so you can open a bottle of water with one hand without looking
      • a little umbrella in the door/under seat, because we never have one handy if needed
      • ice scraper in the fuel cap, accessible from outside and can be stored when wet
      • little plastic flap at the inside of the windshield, which can hold the parking tickets
      • standard wall plug between seat
      • …

      The usermanual even has a section with these simpy clever things ;-)

        As an Australian, I cannot express how little I care for this feature. 😅

        The other ones you mentioned sound pretty neat though.

      They’re nice practical cars and good value for money but a bit boring. I test drove a few recently but went for a faster VW Golf in the end because the Skoda’s were a bit too bland. Same issue with Kia.
