The rental car in Ireland recently was a VW T Roc, which is the same platform as the Kamiq. I'm not sure which version of the T Roc it was, but it was a 1.0, 3 cyl 5 speed manual, so I guess it was the lower power unit.

The trim level was OK, but I had to the key in a little slot to start the car...haven't done that for a while.

The wife has the 1.5 DSG Kamiq and although the 1 litre was OK it did mean using the box when coming to hills and the engine was a little gruff. The rear seat moved forward to increase the boot space, but comparing this against the Kamiq it appears that with the seat moved forward on the T Roc the boot space was the same as the Kamiq. Also with the seat moved forward the leg room in the rear was greatly reduced. I did consider the more powerful of the 1 litre engines with the DSG when I bought the Wife's Kamiq, but I'm glad I went for the 1.5 4 cyl.

looking at possibly changing missus macs 2020 Arona, and looking around the list price on a new one, auto, top spec to match what she has - list price about €32k

a TRoc in the same spec - €50k

50 grand for their smallest "crossover"..
