If you are weighing up the Skoda Kodiaq and the MG S9, both provide practical cabins where the middle-row seats slide and recline. In either car, the rearmost seats are better suited to children on long journeys. On the motorway, each model keeps wind and road noise well contained when cruising, and neither behaves like a sports car on twisting country lanes, though both remain stable. Between the two, the MG S9 is more powerful. Around town, however, the Kodiaq offers an excellent turning circle, whereas the S9's is a touch worse. Your choice hinges on whether you want the MG's extra power or the Skoda's easier manoeuvring in tight spaces.
