  1. Over 3 years...49MPG. Long runs 60 plus. Now 6 months in latest model creeping up to very similar figures. Both 1 Ltr Auto. A lot of under one mile trips are routine.
  2. With the 1 Ltr I find the DSG box excellent. Nearly imperceptible changes and 60 MPG on steady cross country runs. After three years (49 MPG overall) I have updated to the new model. Very low growl (In the new car) in each gear and no doubt this and the MPG will get better in due course! Have had many automatics over 60 plus years and the DSGs are amazing. No doubt the boy racers will love the paddles!!!!!!!!
  3. Hope to get my new Kamiq SE L Edition in the next few weeks. Have a 3 year old SE L so interested to see if it's worth the extra few thousands!!!!
  4. I use a lidded plastic box that is a snug fit under the drivers seat. I stick a couple of pieces of sticky back hooked velcro under the box which secures it in place....but just pulls out easily. The passenger seat has a first aid box secured the same. PS. Bought mine on the internet where a vast array of sizes are available....have bought many over the years.
  5. I also have the dreaded 12K miles 2 year rear disc advisory. It's suggested I change on next service in 12 months. What is the current Skoda price to supply and fit rear discs and pads Please? May well go Brembo but need a comparison.
  6. I use the Kamiq equipped satnav but also use Osmand on my phone for many years and in many countries. Battery usage no problem and doesn't require online data on foot, bike or car. There are other low priced phone based options
  7. Thank you both for your advice. Have run around in circles for a few days. I have Skoda Connect so will curb my impatience and see what happens. Again..... Thanks😉
  8. This is offered with my VIN:- I am now confused as to the 'Move and Fun' item?
  9. .......'Central, North and South Europe'. These are the options offered in the update portal but what countries in each Please?

    FWIW. I found the Puma much more expensive than the equivalent Kamiq when purchasing 14 months ago. About £2000?
  11. Snap.....plus.......... smaller wheels to give a slightly better and quieter ride.
  12. Fortunately, mine doesn't talk to me I just get the gentle wheel twitch. If it did I would turn off the voice or even the lane assist if I couldn't silence it!
  13. I left the lane assist active on my new Kamiq....simply to see what happens. After 12 months and a few thousand miles I find it perfectly acceptable. It is simply a gentle twitch on the wheel. Most times there is a reason and very occasionally there is no reason............(mostly when I don't signal a lane change). My driving experience is long and varied and treat it as another welcome safety feature added to todays road vehicles.
  14. Thank you Chris.
  15. 2021 Kamiq. "Updates available...can't be installed whilst driving" Can they be installed when parked.....Ignition on or Ignition off? How do I retrieve them?

    FWIW. New 1Ltr 110 BHP SEL. DSG. 6 months...2,500 miles. Regular very short trips (1/2 mile ish)....25 MPG max Longer 5 to 10 miles......40+ Long trips smaller A roads (50 miles)....46 ish Long trips Main A roads and Motorways (50 to 250 miles) 58+...... Cruise at 60 to 65. All figures are from the cars info system so could be 5 to 10% out!
  17. Looked everywhere in my SE-L then found it on the centre console by the arm rest between the seats.
  18. Just bought a Kamiq......after a KIA Ceed and many other cars. Front seats are pumped high and with the DSG box on the 110 BHP engine. It's much easier to get in due to the seat height compared to all 'normal' cars. The doors open squarer to the body than most. The 110 engine gives a remarkably good performance. Seems to get voted top in all the comparison and individual reviews! Good Luck😉
  19. Rear brake discs considered OK and not yet bedded in after a workshop inspection. Will wait and see what happens in the next few months and a few more miles.
  20. New Kamiq collected 30 November....new dealer stock...about 50 miles on clock....now 500 miles...uneven variable deep scores on rear discs. Front disks clean, silver and perfectly smooth. Only checked due to this thread! Visiting dealer tomorrow. Will report back! PS. In workshop next week (20th) for inspection. Edited 2 minutes ago by EJB
  21. Sorry posted in wrong thread!
  22. Passed my IAM test in 1959...I think my number was 11.000 ish! Have never paid my subs so never registered and never bought a badge! It's kept me safe as these days I am aware of my deteriorating faculties and make due allowances. Having raced and rallied a long time ago helps me be aware of parts of 'driving' that many have never known. I certainly have no problem with extra tests of any kind...but I think they should start a few months after the initial test....it seems that that is as long as a young persons memory lasts these days?!!! Stay safe😉😀

    Sadly don't have a HEVC video extension file to open the downloads!
  24. When buying our new Kamiq we spent a few hours in front of the salesman trying to absorb the vast amount of legal and sales blurb which was all totally irrelevant to owning and operating a car! Even the mixture of handbook, videos and Skoda Connect never seem to answer the actual question I want an answer to! Our motto is now...."Press and Guess"😲 The car itself is brilliant thought!
