Just back from a 512 mile, three day trip.
( 1.0Lt 115 manual).
Loved every faultless minute.
Averaged 56.2 mpg overall. That was about half motorway with cruise control set at 68. ( We were in no rush, and taking in the views of NE England)
Some very bendy hilly country roads, and about an hours worth of stop start traffic in very hot conditions this afternoon.
Air con was on for most of the time.
No complaints comfort wise by my co driver. Drive was very quiet at speed, and it pulls like a horse for overtakes when needed in 6th at speed.
I've never said this about any of our previous vehicles, but I love this car!

As a side note, whilst visiting Alnwick Castle gardens, we parked next to a new Octavia, same colour ( Quartz Grey).
The owner got out the same time as I did, and asked what car it was as he hadn't seen one.
Told him, he had a look round mine and said he wished he'd looked at the Kamiq, as he thought it was a better all round motor, but he had just gone for the same replacement for his old Octavia! I walked away with a big grin :)
Rags.
