Suprised you bought another VWgroup product Ken. Mind saying that our past 3 SEATs have been problem free until they reached 7+ years old (only Ibiza has let the side down). Also suprised you went for another black car knowing your slight OCD  :grin: :wink:

yeah i must admit i wanted a grey/silver car and definately not black but there just seemed to be very little around at the moment that suited what we were after and this was a very good car and deal.

as you always rave about your SEAT's i thought i would take a look at this and i was very impressed.

to be honest i know im not 100% convinced with the mk6 GTI but overall it is a very good car and touch wood has been spot on other than paint finish and panel gaps and the odd interior rattle.

the SEAT seems to have better panel gaps and paint finish somehow. maybe because its based on a mk5 instead?

the only thing that put me off VAG cars was my experience from the dealer i bought from consistently trying to destroy my car.

Mk5 are not good either, must be just that the SEAT robots can paint. :grin:

I know an Italian friend of mine has just sold a SEAT with a very similar number plate that looks identical to that one.  I hope for your sake it isn't the same.  I'm not going to tell you how he drives.

Good Luck! :-)
