Our 5 year old Karoq is on it's original pads/discs and my one year old Kamiq is also fine, we live in Worthing so a salty atmosphere. Surprised when discs fail so early.

Too true 😁

It's why I buy the least tech model I can, also far less to go wrong!

Can't understand the need for ambient light anyway, what possible benefit is it?

What other cars do is really of no relevance given that this is the Kamiq forum. Think there are a few here who would do better posting on the relevant forum.

@croquemonsieur Battery on our Karoq still OK after over 5 years. Mind you I always turn off Stop/Start so it hasn't had to deal with that!

Well this is the Kamiq forum and that's what is being discussed. Pointless discussing what other cars do.

Definitely not a life or death issue 😁 Two buttons presses on the steering wheel and it's off. Not an issue at all

Fully agree, it is only a slight nudge/vibration and easily overcome. Having said that I always switch it off, as I do with Stop/Start.

@Stoker That wasn't me, it was MarineBoy. As for coasting and dabbing brakes, I prefer as I suggested to use manual mode so engine braking holds the car at the correct speed.

Could be both if circumstances are correct, same behaviour as my Karoq. Not sure why you're asking?

Yes, when in D

Couldn't have said it better myself 😁

Lower yes but still need the brakes whereas manual allows you to force the correct gear so no braking required

Agree. Easy to flick into sport mode when required and can use in manual if you want. Thought I would use manual a lot but the automatic is so good I generally only use manual to hold onto a gear going down steep hills.

Exactly, easy way for some garages to make more money, if as you say it was vital it would be part of the service schedule. Bit like saying you should change your tyres every 2 years regardless of condition!

Not mixed up at all and aware it's hygroscopic, thanks. Brake fluid is checked by my garage every service and is fine. No need to change it. Car brakes perfectly.

Correct, checked and it's fine, cars only done 35K

Only need to change brake fluid if needed. All reputable garages can check it and replace if needed. Our Karoq is over 5 years old and brake fluid is still fine.

See page 57 of the manual

Hmmm. I'm 6 foot, maybe that helps

I don't find the drivers seat too low and I don't even have it on the highest setting, nor do I struggle with lines delineating parking spaces. Have you tried adjusting your seat height?

Easier to say what I don't enjoy, and that's only being able to adjust blower speed etc via the infotainment system. Thankfully Skoda have seen sense and there are now rotary controls etc in the facelifted model.

Perhaps post in the Fabia forum as this is the Kamiq one!

Try just driving and ignore ACC, human brain is far better Setting ACC to minimum in busy traffic is exactly the opposite of what a good driver would do which is to increase the gap when its busy
