Not as ugly as scratched paintwork.

That actually looks really interesting, and a very affordable option. Thank you!

Something like that, yes. This is the site I found before. The only have the front right door part it seems, and didn't respond to my query. Maybe I'll drop them another line.

Well, one wall doesn't belong to me for a start And then I don't get protection for the door in other places.

You're right in that those aren't what I'm looking for It's specifically door edge protectors. I can find generic ones at Halfords, and there's one site that sells something only for the driver side front door. Surely there must be something out there.

Took delivery of my new Karoq SE L last week. I park on a relatively narrow driveway with walls on either side, and I'd like to get some decent door edge protectors just in case. Can anyone recommend a good supplier of such in the UK? I'm struggling to find anything other than the generic ones Halfords do. Many thanks :)

That does help, thank you Sounds like for a lot of the driving I do, the MPG of my 1.5tsi manual estate would be at least as good as the 1.0 e-TEC.

Yes, thanks. I'm aware the e-TECs are DSG only, that there is no Karoq e-TEC, and that retaining my car for the moment is an option to consider. I'm just interested in getting MPG data and opinions from e-TEC Octavia drivers for these two alternative engine sizes.

I currently drive an SE L 1.5l manual estate, on a PCP deal ending in March. I don't need an estate any more, and I was looking at the Karoq as an option as it drives very nicely and has a great driving position. However, the MPG isn't all that great, and I've been given the option of test driving a 1.0l and 1.5l Octavia hatch soon. What I like about my 1.5l is the economy and comfort. Most of my driving is short to mid-range A road trips, with the occasional longer drive. I easily get 45mpg (measured), and on longer hauls I can easily clear 52mpg. It also has a bit of extra power when needed, for example when joining a dual carriageway or motorway from a slip road. I did find that a 1.0l petrol Karoq didn't really have that power when I test drove one back in 2019. So I'm interested to know whether the 1.0l e-TEC performs better in that regard in real world conditions, or would I be better off with the 1.5l? And what measured MPG figures are people getting from both of these engines? Thanks in advance
