    Around town around 30mpg, Motorways and longer journeys 40-45mpg for me.
  2. Can't help I'm afraid. Get in car. Start car. Press: Disable Start / Stop Select Individual Driving Mode Autohold Drive away. Have never used start / stop. Wish you could switch if off permanently and that Individual Driving Mode would stay as default until you decide to change it. Still minor 'First World Problems' really for a fantastic car.
  3. Personally, I can think of nothing worse that getting a Karoq and making it look / sound like that. đŸ˜Ŧ Still, it's not my car so they can do what they want.
  4. Same here. Used it on the seats in my Octavia, Yeti and now Karoq never an problem and the leather never cracked or show signs of wear.
  5. I put Cross Climate2s on my Sportline and they give an excellent ride. I do have the 4x4 so with the R45 not R40 tyres and the multilink suspension. The 2WD Sportlines do appear to have a harsher ride.
  6. The voice system is pretty much useless on all cars. I still remember a Top Gear Review for a second hand Mercedes that had voice activation systems: Clarkson: Right, let's see if it still works, "Play Radio 2!" Car: "Phoning Dentist" Clarkson: Yupe. As good as always.
  7. I have to use Waze as my internal Sat Nav stopped receiving live updates.

    If you have the Canton upgrade you cannot get the variable floor as the subwoofer sits in the spare tyre, and if you have the spare tyre you cannot have the variable boot floor.
  9. I tired using Eco Mode on a trip down to Devon. Drove there on Eco Mode, drove back in Normal (well Individual mode as in that I have switched off the stupid 'Soundakor'). MPG was virtually the same the only difference was the far worse engine response in Eco Mode. Haven't bothered with Eco Mode since. Or Sport Mode for that matter.

    Have the Canton in my Karoq and it is worth it to my ears. Had an Octavia and Yeti both without and a long as you get the settings right on it it makes it worth while. Run out of volume on Octavia and Yeti but no on the Karoq. The car has lots of stiarage areas so missing out on a small cubbyhole on the dashboard is hardly a scarifice. Plus you get a spare tyre in the boot which is a nice bonus.
  11. Got my Sportline used so the 'Luxury Car Tax' was not an issue for me. Had Varioflex Seats in my Yeti - never used them. Acutally forgot I had a panoramic roof on my Karoq - never used that either! Swapped out the standard tyres on the 19" alloys for Cross Climate 2s and everyone says how comfortable the ride is. Never had an issue with the DSG on anyof my Skodas and I need an automatic now due to knee / hip / back issues. Even before I has these issues I always drove automatics. Always hated manuals, seems like buying a dog and barking yourself! 1.5 TSI had a troubled history with the 'kangarooing' so avoided that, so pretty much left me with only the Sportline to chose from. Still if we all like the same thing it would be boring! 😀
  12. Coming up to two years with my 20 plate Karoq 2.0 TSI 4x4. Had none of the problems others have mentioned. Best car I have ever had by a long, long way. Miles better than the Octavia 1.8 L&K and Yeti 1.2 Elegance that I had. As other have done swapped to Bosch Wipers immediately and changed to Cross Climate 2 tyres before I bought the car. It's comfortable, quick, reasonably fuel efficient for a 2.0 4x4, sticks to the road like glue and I am lucky enough to have lots of extra options on the car (heated windscreen, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, Canton Speakers, Columbus Head Unit, Leather Seats, digital dash). If only I had not kerb all four alloys within the last six months. Never touch a kerb in the Octavia and Yeti! Ho hum...
  13. I had Octavia L&K 1.8 TSI. Fantastic car. Apart from the engine. That needed replacing. â˜šī¸ Off to We Buy Any Car it went....
  14. Wasn't paying attention! This is the 2024 accord to You Tube: o
