1st post.
How did I get here: Long-time Audi RS (4 - 1xRS4 and 3xRSQ3) owner, ended abruptly back in June when my 2020 RSQ3 was stolen out of a locked garaged (broke into the house to get the keys). RS was on Ebay 4 days later in bits - I had special rear brakes so an easy spot - police raided the place and found a chop-shop. NFU Mutual paid out generously and quickly so bought an A1 Citycarver 1.5 DSG as an interim car as needed wheels quickly.
A1 is OK, but not big enough/too low. Have been looking at the Ateca and have some questions:
1) Looking on Ebay it would appear that the thieving scum don't target Seat/Cupra as there isn't too much evidence of cars being broken for bits - are incidences of theft fairly low?
2) Popped into my local Cupra dealer today and sat in one (1.5) in the showroom - was impressed with the feel and quality, felt decent, a little narrower/shorter than the Q3 perhaps but big enough for me.
3) The dealer had both the 190 and 310PS versions, am I correct in thinking that only the 310 version has adaptive dampers?
4) Having had a pano roof before I'll try to find one with the option - are there any known issues - leaking or squeaking perhaps?
Thanks in anticipation!
