I've got front and rear sensors, and rear camera. The rear camera is very useful, as I find the back window too small.

I don't think it's pointless. People at the back are facing forwards while talking anyway. The driver doesn't have to turn back and talk which is very useful.
I've left mine at 5 or 6 which is adequate. It gets echoey at higher amplification.

You can convert this:

For less than £400, you can get the wheel colour changed (diamond cut) to match the black or Anthracite colours.

What I forgot to add, without the paid option to connect your phone to the antenna by induction
No issues with mine. I haven't got the antenna option but I have the heated windscreen.

But for 6000 miles, Diesel makes no sense whatsoever. I did some calculations; for 10000 miles per year, it would take me 6 years to recoup the cost difference of Diesel model (£1800 more expensive than Petrol) taking real mpgs into account.

Personally, I found the 1.4 to be more than adequate. It is peppy enough to overtake easily, even with fully loaded with 5 adults and 5 cricket kits in the boot. It's a turbo engine, so equivalent to a naturally aspirated 2.0 litre engine.
Most of my driving will be urban and motorways. I'll never go off road. So I didn't feel the need for 4WD. It's an additional 85kg weight.
You can get Triglav wheels and get it painted to your liking from a local wheel shop. Will cost around £75 to £100 per wheel.

And as per my post that you quoted
With the adaptive suspension ........
That you disagreed with and have now agreed with????????????????
Where did I disagree? I merely said there were 2 types on normal / sport modes. I only elaborated on your post.

Wrong, the driving mode selection also changes the suspension, as well as the steering, throttle response, air con and AFS.
No, that would depend on whether you have adaptive chassis control in your car or not. If not, it won't control the suspension.

With the Adaptive Suspension there is logic to having a Sport/Normal/Comfort mode
That's different to the eco / normal / sport mode which changes the settings of control units. This will, for example, change the behaviour of the engine, automatic transmission and power steering.
The different modes in adaptive chassis control would change the suspension.

One member on the other Kodiaq forum compared eco mode with normal mode and found no significant difference in economy. I've kept mine in normal mode since the start, and am getting 40.2mpg on my 1.4L 150 Petrol which isn't bad at all. Don't see much point in saving pennies after spending £30K+ on the Kodiaq.

There are two distinct advantages which you get, once the car has "tuned" itself to the fuel:
- you get smoother, more tractable response at low revs, and therefore can change up sooner
- once you've learned that, you get better mpg.
I reckon the extra mpg nearly cancels out the extra cost, so you get a smoother car "free".
Any evidence to support that?

No, ACC is adaptive cruise control. It adapts it's speed based on the distance of the vehicle in front.
-
No I never reported it.....maybe I should.
-
My Skoda Connect is the same.....parking position and "honk and flash" are very unreliable in operation.

I have a 2016 Seat Alhambra and i went with the S because i did not want Auto Wipers, Auto Lights or even electric rear sliding doors.
Auto Lights were on it when it arrived,
To my surprise the first time it started to rain i discovered i had Auto Wipers, they are active in some wet conditions and not in others
and i have not found a Setting to inhibit them, i have looked.
In the Seat, you'll need to turn the knob near your right knee away from "A" or "Auto" to turn off auto lights. Can't understand why you wouldn't want it though. It's a very useful safety feature.

I've been using Android since it came into existence, never had any security issues.

The tyre pressures are mentioned in the fuel cap, depending on load.

Make sure the tyres aren't over inflated.

Apple don't allow apps created by third parties to work on Apple Play, unlike Android which allows some other apps. For instance, Apple Maps is the only navigation app allowed on Apple Play, but this depends on a decent phone signal and does not work offline. Not much use up here in the Dales.
Google owns Waze, so it's not 3rd party. But yes, Amazon Music and Spotify works with Android Auto too.
Edit: Spotify and Amazon Music work in CarPlay too, so no difference there.

How much was your Superb giving, and what mpg are you getting on the Kodiaq? Remember that mpg will improve significantly once the engine "loosens up", around 3 - 4000 miles.

Yes, the manual mentions 120km/hr as maximum speed limit. In the UK, the maximum legal speed limit is 70mph (112.6km/hr) so it doesn't affect me.
