That’s a really detailed breakdown appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I’ve had similar experiences comparing small and midsize SUVs lately. The Karoq definitely offers solid visibility and comfort, though I’ve also found that the ride can feel a bit stiff depending on the trim and wheel size. I agree that reviews can be inconsistent, especially when comparing older models to the latest releases. The Elroq does seem promising with its updated design and ride quality (especially with DCC), but like you, I’m curious how the standard suspension performs. And yes, the front end design looks far more refined now. Interesting point about the soy-based materials attracting rodents that's something manufacturers really need to address across the board. Your experience with the 1.0 TSI DSG is encouraging though nice to hear it’s held up well over 6 years!
