Re: Start stop not working

Mine is the same, works faultlessly except not at all when the air con is on. Previous car would stop engine with a/c on, but would restart after a minute or 3, presumably battery draining a little? A fascinating featurev is that when the engine is stalled (wife mostly), it re-starts automatically w...

Re: Do I buy a kamiq or a puma

I recommend the Kamiq. Coming from an Audi A3 which I loved but beginning to give problems, I simply wanted reliability. 2 months & 1100 miles with a new 1.5 SE Drive I really enjoying driving it. Quiet, comfortable & incredibly economical. Getting between 55 & 62 mph on a run, pretty go...

Digital owners’ manual

A lot of the owner manual is digital now. I can open the Kamiq manual ok, but I can’t save it to peruse at leisure. (on a Mac). Is it me?
