I am about to downsize from my excellent Superb to an SEL Karoq. I was disappointed to find that the Karoq has no blind spot detection. Do other owners find this a problem? If so how have they overcome this.

Two new Pirelli tyres. Previous ones lasted nearly 28k miles five and a half yeards old.

I find tyre noise depends on road surface. I am just about to change my front tyres after 28000 miles. Pirelli P7. I had a rattle coming from the rear seat catch

Removed a 12" stick which was stuck in front of the nearside rear wheel and which sounded as if a spring had gone everytime I went over a bump in the road. Sometimes look for the easy solution!! At least it saved me a trip to the main dealer to sort out the intermittent grating noise.

Thanks for all your comments

notmal manual gearbox. low mileage car

A female relative has just been charged £1400 for 1.0 Citigo clutch replacement at a main dealer Is this right?

Brettikivi. The rocker switch on the end of the ACC stalk permits changes of 1mph specifica;lly I use it for speed reduction.

Just done 660 miles on a full tank with about 40 miles left to empty on a trip to South west Wales. Superb 1.5

I generally like ACC especially on motorways. However occasionally mine has a "mind of its own" e.g I was driving the Carmarthen by pass . Set ACC to 63mph after a few hundred yards the car accelerates to 70 mph. I knock it back to 63 and once again it after a few hundred yards it accelerates back up to 70mph. No road side speed limit sign changes. Any ideas?

Turned all switches off around the gear selector and seems to work again now.

Since my car's service ( 1.5 auto) it no longer moves forward automatically after the car in front moves off e.g. at traffic lights. The garage say they haven't changed any settings or software updates. Any ideas what settings I need to make to get this feature back?

1.5 tsi estate. On board computer regularly shows 50+ mpg on a long motorway journey and 30+ around town. Brimming the fuel tank knocks off about 10% from these readings. Is this normal?

Passed its 1st MOT with no problems

Underthe radar. I had this problem. Can it be adjusted. My fix was to wrap foam rubber around the catch. This has stopped the rattle

I have also just replaced all my wiper blades, after just over two years, with Bosch. Far better performance and a reasonable price from Europarts

Very similar to me. My best was nearly 50mpg driving to and from and in the Highlands of Scotland last year.

I am more than pleased with the performance of my 1.5 estate. Haven't quite managed 50mpg on a long run

Love my midnight emerald green

Does ACC have a mind of its own. Occasionally if I have set it for low 60's it will all of a sudden change itself to 70. Also it will show a warning sometimes that I am exceeding the speed limit and wont let me set ACC to a higher speed even though I know it is a 70mph road.

It could well be that the condensation draining out will minimise corrosion

Does the rear exhaust box have a drain hole in it? I have water "leaking" from mine. Not the tail pipe.

Paddywack to paraphrase the song Its not just the car but the way that you drive it!!

I had similar concerns to you but when I had my 1.4 Octavia Estate and realised how quick that was I decided to go back to a Superb 1.5 DSG estate. I have not been disappointed. Plenty of power to overtake safely and achieved 50mpg on a Scotland trip. Averages just under 40 mpg around hilly Sheffield

Good choice. I have had mine just over a year. No problems and surprisingly nippy for a big car.
