This looks good. 👍
Hell of car for less than £40k and you won't need to add an options as everything will be included. A bit of a sleeper that real world will be around 4 secs to 60.
There’s a hell of a lot of brand snobbery and ignorance on here quite often, especially around some of the plastics in the SEAT. Truth is aside from one or two places the mk7 Golfs are full of hard scratchy plastic too below the upper sections of dash and front doors.
A friend of mine had a Cupra as a company car and it was more than a match for the GTI PP I had at the time in all the areas that count if you like a sporty car that really performs and has a load of kit as standard.
The actual costs of ownership might not be that much lower with the SEAT depending on what sort of deal you can work. But deals are out there with SEATs that can make them massively cheaper than their VW cousins. The full spec on the run out Golfs now do make them good value after discounts though.
Hopefully the Abt plug in will catch on and VW UK will take note. A Mountune equivalent is something us UK owners have been crying out for for years.
