Your ID.3 wasn’t exactly locally sourced though MH     :evil:

I find there are a few SEAT dealers that do offer decent deals (market normality dependant) but they aren’t chasing the big volume sales like VW dealers. Bristol SEAT are about 100 miles from me and are usually good to barter with.

Now that VW have cheapened their product interior wise they’ve put Skoda and the rebranded relaunched Cupra (as opposed to SEAT which they’ve kept bargain basement) in below Audi.
Cupra have even been allowed to use the 400 PS 5 pot unlike VW which tells a tale.
The Born is definitely improved interior wise over the ID.3, external looks will divide opinion obviously. Having visited ID forums I can’t say the owners/leasers of these are people I can remotely relate to so there are definitely different demographs for electric cars of that size.

Personally I think there are some models of each of the VAG marques I prefer over the others, and that is pretty fluid depending on the generation of car.

However, Cupra have just released ‘indicative’ figures for the Born which I recieved yesterday.
Bear in mind right now an ID.3 Family 204 PS can be had fully insured on a salary sacrifice scheme with £0 upfront for £280 ish a month

So not exactly compelling!
