Hi all collected my 1.5 TSI DSG earlier today from Arbury Skoda at Leamington Spa.  I should have got it last Friday but the snow,etc; meant it wasn't picked up until today (6/3). First impressions driving it back to Worcester 44 miles via M40/M5 very pleased with the DSG box,seamless changes hardly noticeable and it showed the two-cylinder shut down when on the motorway & averaged 43 mpg doing 65 to 75 so well pleased. The only downside, wife hates the colour... skinflint blue tough!...Regards, Jimmer69

Congrats on getting your car! Thats incredible MPG - hope that continues. The DSG is super smooth, from what I remember of the test drive. Looking forward to that.Hope the colour starts to grow on the good lady. You are ok with it? It looks a bit like a "boy" colour I think - I like it very much. Was near the top of my list for colour choice.

If it is maxi dot telling you deduct at least 10%.

Oh great a local Karoq still haven't seen one have to keep an eye out! Glad you like the car.  Guess you didn't go to Startin Skoda, powick as dealer offer was better? 

Not a Startin's fan!

Yes, I don't mind the blue. Plus it will be easy to spot on a large car park!!!

Yep, but can be corrected by VCDS / OBDeleven. I corrected my SEAT Leon by -8% and get accurate MPG and range prediction from the computer now. I'll be fixing the Karoq when it comes too.

A very good app, which I used to work out how wrong my trip computer was and then correct it. Fuelly measured consumption is now closely matched by the on-board computer.
