Yes. I did retrofit ACC to my previous SUP3. A bit expensive as require "SWAP Code" which only available for dealers or professional workshops, but worth every penny. Dashboard have to be simpler. 

Would be helpful if you can share on the costs to retrofit digital cluster, assume skoda wint ro it as its mod

I purchased it for 350euro brand new with delivery from Russia.  I am not yet fully aware of pricing for coding. Will try local dealer first. The main thing for cluster is to reprogram the keys

245/40/R19 Nexen Nferra SU1

Simply magnificent to drive the 6 speed manual, we went camping Easter long weekend April, kept one seat in to take our pet cockatiel in his cage with us, drove so effortlessly. Getting acquainted with the active cruise control, she just responds and is so easy and fun to drive! It now has over 1000 kilometers, just getting warmed up. We travelled the south coast of NSW Australia, Bermagui, Narooma, filled up the boot area with our gear and off on our first adventure. 

Pulled over to snap this in the wife's Karoq 1.5TSi SEL manual. Just over 15 months since we bought it as well.

Interesting. ACC ,virtual pedal and front parking in Ireland is an optional for Style but Columbus is standard

 

Edited 12 May, 20197 yr by Shahoff

The specs are really country specific.

The Columbus costs here 1720 € (+ co2 tax) and the virtual pedal 595 € (+ co2 tax) and ACC 1025 € (+ co2 tax). Better that way, the virtual pedal and ACC are much more usable than Columbus. Here only Ambition has not the virtual pedal and ACC as standard. Columbus is not standard in any. Even Amundsen is standard only in Exclusive.

Maybe the Android Auto or Apple CarPlay are used for navigation.

Yes, ACC is handy , so I am retrofitting as I did on my SUP3. Way easier and cheaper to retrofit then Columbus  Do you have front assist camera ?

That's very impressive, is that mainly motorway driving? I can't get anywhere near that even driving at 65 on motorway. On a very conservative run I might manage 42mpg but my long term average is 39mpg and best miles per tank has been 406.

Yeah have 2 junctions to trundle along the M1 which accounts for 18 miles of the total commute but have 14 roundabouts to negotiate so tend to lift off about 300m before which will bring the Eco light and shut off 2 cylinders to save fuel. Wife got 30mpg from my Octavia same day but I got 42mpg next day same car but different commute.

I try to be as economical as possible, my eco score very rarely falls before 94 whatever commute I do but yet mpg always seems awful! 

In a diesel company car today though 76.5mpg and range of 765 miles on one tank, smaller than the Karoq. Such a difference but I'd never own a diesel! 

Here is mine - 1.5 TSi Ambition Plus manual in Grey Steel on 17" HRS wheels.  I have got the car since September 2018 and I am very satisfied with it with two exceptions - quality of interior trims (e.g. creaky door panels and other plastic covers in winter and poor quality of standard audio system Bolero)
