An alternative view here...and a secret revealed.
I have no longer,sadly,got my
Carbon edition.
Why? It was actually down to the seats,wife became more and more insistent that they were so uncomfortable for her that they had to go.
The issue was not the backrests,but she said the bottoms were hard/lumpy so she could not get comfortable.
As they say,happy wife equals happy life,so the car went.Fortunately the son in law was looking for a replacement for his 5 year old S3 so I didn't take much of a loss.
What did I think of the so-called bucket seats?
OK,far from the best I've sat in but acceptable,seven out of ten I would say,although I did know what she meant about the bottom being on the hard side.
So rather sad about losing the Carbon,but it's still in the family.Going well and attracted admiring glances in the car park at Silverstone,so I'm told.
Tomorrow I take delivery of Octavia vRS 245 dsg Estate which should be an adequate (but not better!) replacement.
(Nearly went for a
Cupra Ateca,but decided on the above.)
