Karoq in a Scrape + a Joke

I've had my SE tech Karoq 1.0 DSG 3 years without a scratch, but 2 weeks ago a learner driver whilst taking a driving test, scraped the front passenger side.  My car was parked.  It dented the front panel below the bonnet and knocked the headlamp & fog lamps there out of aliqnment.  (I'm not overly fussy about the car's cleanliness, more a workhorse for me, but admit I do take a pride when on the few occasions down the lovely red metallic bodywork, and I was annoyed at the damage).  The insurance company's usual repairer turned out to be too busy (after I enquired a few days later) and they've been having difficulty getting cars repaired in the last few months anyway (Brexit + Furlough presumably).  So they asked me if I knew any local places and after a suggestion, I contacted the local trusted Skoda dealer in Walthamstow, where I get the car serviced.  They do indeed have a man who does such work and he seems keen to repair it.  He's just had a few days off, but negotiations with the insurance company are underway.

Anyhow I've been given a Mk2 Nissan DSG Juke in the meantime.  Not sure I like to be seen in it, if not quite as ugly as the Mk1, but here's some comments. 

It's an easy to drive, competent car & goes well, if not as nice as the Karoq - somewhat noisier (but hardly noisy) & the 1 litre 3cyl engine not as smooth.  Ride is slightly firmer (but no more road noise to speak of) & actually ride a little less rubbery + there's a bit less annoying anti-roll bar induced roll rock on pot holes.  It has Turanzas like mine, 215 x 60 on 17" 7J wheels - mine same except 55 profile.  Smaller & lower, front seats good, economy slightly better if the onboard figures are to be trusted and decent amount of tech, keyless, rear camera with adaptive markings for when you turn the steering + speed limit warnings & stop/start, but no hill hold.  Front parking sensor, sat nav with traffic, lane keeping, but cruise control not adaptive (available on better versions as is 360* vision, blind spot assistance & adaptive dampers).  I don't look forward to driving it as I do the Karoq and also much prefer the latter's cabin ambience (nice airy feeling of space in the front).  Air con doesn't seem as good.   Bonnet seems longer, as trying to turn right on roads where vision restricted vision is more fraught.  The driver's manual is probably even worse than the Karoq, I still don't know how many gears it has, nor power output.
