Yes I have a manual 1.5TSI. I’m wondering if the automatic would have been a better buy?

It is worrying that we are all having a similar experience especially in the brand new vehicles.

Yes I am having the same issues. I have had a VW golf for the last 10 years with the start/stop facility and absolutely NO problems like this..... I am aware that the car should not be cutting out when in gear, when travelling or even when stopped at a junction when in gear. It is frightening when the car just loses power and cuts out. My new Skoda Karoq has done this from the first few days of me having it - less than a month and i feel i have been put in a dangerous position several times. The Karoq just switches off at junctions or when slowing down, no warning, radio continues to play but ignition is off and it asks you to restart it manually. I am trying to return the car as they seem incapable of identifying the problem.
