@gilders & @kezo – many thanks for the updates, I was still considering changing to the Sportage after reading @DJP’s comment yesterday, but after reading your posts this morning regarding the other problems you’re having, I think it’s maybe a step too far.
I think it’s probably best to keep our Skoda for the time being in the hope that either Kia find a solution to their problems or something else that’s suitable comes along.
Thanks again
