Although the yellow is an *interesting* colour, the car is spec'd well, with black leather recaro seats, mmmmmmm!

wasn't sure when i first bought my car until my missus pointed out that when i'm sitting in them i can't see them  :laugh: :laugh: i like them now though :afro: though i kinda wish they were proper Recaros  :rolleyes:

back to the topic though... no i wouldn't buy the yellow one though it looks like its a rare colour concept version  :huh:  if you look closely at the last pic you can just make out the yellow centres in the seats so they won't be full black leather  :wink:

nah i got skanked; mine is an 02 model when VW decided to cost cut and fit their own 'sport' seats instead of Recaros  :angry:  bastards!!  their comfy enough but they lack side support so you get thrown around a bit when pushing hard

they became 'optional extras' from 02 onwards  :sad:  have been looking on the bay for a set of Recaros' but can't really justify the expense.......

it depends on the mileage for me.  im always wary of adverts that dont advertise the mileage.  Maybe that explains the low price also.  I was a bit funny about the colour of my car when i read the advert in autotrader but wen i saw it in person i liked it.

I've got blue non recaro seat and they are I think really good, best seats I've ever had.
Don't buy a yellow car you will regret when you come to sell it.

Resale value would be low on a yellow car i think.

but then why would you want to sell :P

Colour is a really personal choice.
