Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI - one year, 18,000 km update

Question

One year in on my Kushaq 1.5 TSI Style DSG. Quick honest update for anyone considering one:

- Zero mechanical issues so far, DSG has been smooth throughout.
- Infotainment lag on the touchscreen is still occasionally annoying, a software update helped but did not fully fix it.
- Ground clearance (188mm claimed) has handled every speed breaker and rural road I have thrown at it without a single scrape.
- Fuel economy settled at 12.8 city / 16.5 highway, roughly matches what most owners report.

Would buy again, no regrets a year in.

Good to hear the long-term reliability holding up. My biggest gripe on mine (1.0 TSI, 9 months in) is exactly the touchscreen lag you mentioned - hoping the next software update actually sorts it properly instead of a band-aid fix.
