DSG delayed response
I bought a 2020 2.0tdi DSG earlier this year and it drove exactly the way you've described with significant lag on a acceleration. I knew the DSG "learns" your driving style and can appear sluggish if you have a Conservative driving style. There are several videos on YouTube that details "resetting" the DSG so that it can then learn your driving style and for me this has worked very well. I use my Octavia for Private Hire with loads of Motorway miles. In Eco Mode it now responds very quickly, gives excellent MPG due to its Coasting abilities and it is a pleasure to drive. Try a gearbox reset, it's quick, you don't need any special tools and if it doesn't seem to to work you've not lost anything.

30 Min for driving = No Android Auto
I think it's the phone. I have a OnePlus 8T and it does exactly the same thing. The problem seems to be that as long as the phone is not at 100% charge then it works. As soon as it reaches 100% it disconnects from AA. Smartlink then detects it and reconnects it only for the phone to disconnect again as it's at 100% and so on..... There is a lot of chat about this on various OnePlus forums but not a concrete solution. Mine was fine until the Android 12 update but unfortunately nothing's changed with the Android 13 update.

Karoq Door Locking System - Is it a common issue ?
The drivers door lock was changed as it locked me out on a number of occasions. I mentioned it when it went in for a service and they changed it that day. It's almost like they knew it was a thing! Works perfectly now. (1.5 SEL DSG, 19 Plate)

Cup holders in the centre console
I'm sure the centre console cup holder unit can be removed from the car as it's reversible. Just take it into the shop with you to see what fits.

Drivers seat
My seat back definitely used to recline on its own but after reading the quote above I thought I'd try winding the seat forwards and backwards while empty to its fullest extent several times and it seems to have worked! It's like the slack in the mechanism has been taken up and it's not moved since!

D Day but now with added twist
I paid off my PCP 4 days after taking delivery of my Karoq. I took out the PCP specifically to qualify for a £1500 deposit contribution and 2 free services with the intention of paying it off straight away. 4 days later I rang VW finance and asked for a settlement figure. They emailed it with their bank details and I paid it, it was as simple as that. They send you a letter that says they no longer have a financial interest in your car and you get to keep all the freebies!

Dash Rattle
I had the same from the Window Lock button, it really rattled. I didn't want to risk breaking something prizing out the assembly so I doubled over a small piece of black masking tape and slipped it down the side of the button to take up the gap. It doesn't rattle anymore and the button still functions properly. Hope that helps.
