After my Yeti was flooded along with our house, it was declared uneconomical to repair (airbags module and wiring, etc) we decided to replace it and the Fabia with a new Kamiq SE Drive 7 speed auto. I was expecting "solid but staid" but I must admit that I am very impressed with it.
It is the same width as the Yeti which is fortunate for our driveway but a tad longer which makes getting it in an out a bit trickier until we get used to it.
There's a wealth of tech inside most of which we will never use and, being RH drive, means poking things with your left hand is a bit hit and miss although the gesture swipe is quite handy.
It has the 1.5 litre, 150 bhp petrol engine which seems to have more poke that I thought it would although it isn't run in yet having had only 8 miles on the clock when we collected it.
Oodles of storage space inside and in the boot which is fortunate because I thought I carried around a lot of clobber until I saw what my wife kept in her car but it all went in with space to spare. I think I will buy an aftermarket space save spare wheel though.
All in all the Kamiq is solid but definitely not staid. And you can switch off that awful lane keeping annoyance with one button.
