So then, what car are you buying next?

Fully rate the xenons, fully slate your dealer, booo!!!!!

Mine seem brighter than the ones on the new A4's.  Like a lot brighter!

I'd be half tempted to buy a second hand R as they come with xenons thanks to the shortage of GTI/Ds with them but Rs have held up in price too well and I'd be sh!t scared they would suddenly depreciate like mad all of a sudden!!
I may wait and see if VW do a promotion at some point and order a new GTD with a decent discount. Then again maybe I'll just keep this car as it's been faultless and wait and see what the next generation SEAT Leon shapes up like.

Yeah, pretty unproffessional to say the least. I'd write a letter to their dealer principal if I thought it'd even get looked at, trouble is it won't so I won't waste any more time or thought on them.

Have you seen the Seat Exo's (aka audi A4). The interior looks pretty good quality wise on the seat's website. If the leon steps interior wise like this I would consider one.

A mate of mine has had a few Exeos on loan from SEAT through his work. I've had a good nose around them and they are fantastic value for money when you look at the quality of the car. The only critisism he could find with them was that they weren't quite as much fun to drive as the Leons with the same engines, more set up as a cruiser than a blaster!
They'd make superb company cars if you did a lot of motorway miles.

Those Exeos as we all know are really an Audi, which is a good strategy for Seat I reckon, proven bomb proof reliability / modernized / SEAT branded. Unlike every other SEAT.

I quite like the RS3. If fuel prices stay at where they are for now then i'll probably do one more petrol before going to the oil burners.


Or maybe a complete change and go for the New Tiguan and hopefully they'll release an R version again.

I bought the Tiguan and think its best thing I ever did rather than wait 5yrs for a new GTD , infact it drives better than the GTD due to the 4wd , would I buy another Tig yes I would !!

I looked at a Tig recently, but like most of these crossover vehicles, they're useless at towing anything of any size.

Discovery for me next. I'll just have to wait a bit longer to save some more money.

Funny that as i find our Audi worse to drive because of the 4wd.

Maybe that should be the answer for all future SEATs - re badged and tarted up old model Audis!
It used to work well for Daewoo when they just sold facelifted old Vauxhalls, they only went down the pan when they started selling a broader range of stuff. You used to see those piles of crap everywhere 10 years ago!!

Or share more like they use to with VW. My Ibiza mk2 was so much like the Polo we had at the time.
The Toledo we had was also just a redone Mk2 Jetta GTI with a mk3 GTI engine.
So basically what we are saying is to more or less go back to what they use to do.
