Speed Alert
Simple solution don't ignore the limits. Not everyone does exceed the low limits which are there for a reason.

Speed Alert
Too many unnecessary so called 'driver aids' on new cars with drivers relying on them too much. I buy cars with as few of them on as possible and those that are I switch off as I start driving. I don't need the car telling me someone is in my blind spot, I'm wandering across a white line, I'm going over a speed limit etc etc.

It's one button press ... no need to change anything?

Coasting - what do people think ?
Certainly improves consumption. If you have your display set to show mpg it'll read around 90 to 100 when in coast mode

I've lost half my two-tone horn
Likely one of the horns has failed as they're on the same supply. You're lucky, some of the latest Skodas come with a single tone horn and they sound awful.

Corroded rear discs
Exactly. It was the same on my Ford Focus that I swapped for a Kamiq when it was 10 years old, around 65K miles and still on its original disks with plenty of meat left on them. A little bit of surface 'rust' is normal if the car has been standing and its wet, clears after you use the brakes.

Corroded rear discs
What made you replace them? Were they worn down to their limit or was it just that you noticed they were rusty? As others have posted a few hard stops clears that up. My Kamiq is now 18 months old and the discs are perfect.

Central locking
I've had this twice in 6 years of ownership. Some here will suggest its a problem with the locks but I've fixed it both times by turning off autolocking in the settings menu for a day then re-enabling it, so on mine at least it just seems like a software glitch.

Rear vents - no air flow
Sorry missed this. I really have no idea as mine is set to auto and I just let the system do its thing. All I adjust is the temperature and then open/close the air vents

Reversing camera
Couldn't agree more, plus cars have mirrors so a camera isn't really required unless it's something like a lorry, van etc where there's no view from an internal mirror.

1.5 Tsi Power Cutting Out
Really strange reading all these posts as we've had a 1.5TSI with manual gearbox for nearly 6 years and never had the issue described here.

Rear vents - no air flow
Exactly the same on mine, with airflow when you open the vents

Rear vents - no air flow
On the Kamiq there is a slider to control the fan speed but there should be no need to touch it. On auto the car adjusts speed etc as necessary, only button I have to occasionally press is the one that demists the front screen. See this link which explains why you can just leave it to do its work without intervention https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/skoda-world/innovation-and-technology/technology/10-tips-on-how-to-use-air-conditioning-properly/

We have a 6 year old manual Karoq, 15 month old Kamiq with DSG, both with 1.5TSI, neither exhibit any tendency to stall. Both run on E10 whenever we can get it.

1.5 Tsi Power Cutting Out
I do if necessary, even 6th to 1st, it's how I was taught on numerous advanced and blue light courses. My 1.5 manual has never stalled either ...
