Back to Seat's,

Answer the Call, get a Cupra R  :grin:

Tell me once you've had it 6 months if you regret it.

The temptation is there but not the will power.
I could use a Diseasel really........but I do fancy a cheap Cupra R...... :undecided:
Stick to my GTI I think and wait to see what the mk3 Leon shapes up like in a year or two. Stuff paying VW prices for the foreseeable future.
I'd love a nice MINI Cooper SD but I reckon I'd have to fold the kids in half to get them in the back!!!

A lad at work has bought a clubman and says it has as much room as his golf had. I just keep telling him its a MAXI van with windows  :evil:

The non realistic drawing in autoexpress a while back of the new leon looked ok but we will wait and see. I think they lost a lot of customers from the mk1 to mk2 due to the altea looks.

Those Clubmans are a design masterpiece in how to make something extremely ugly and yet still sell loads - never guess MINI was owned by BMW would you?  :grin:

You going on a touring holiday Geoff? Send us a postcard from Azerbajan....

It's funny when you read some of the comments, people think the opposite  :laugh: :laugh:

Once you spec'd it up, Chilli pack, Media pack and a few other bits (sport pack a necesity in my view), your looking at a £24k price tag!!
I'd rather save £3k and get a couple of year old Golf GTD. More space, refinement and almost as fun to drive.

It doesn't seem to matter what you buy, cars are just getting very expensive ..
