I’ve made a thread just to post some thoughts because as most you will probably have seen I’ve been participating in several threads relating to this car and don’t really know which one to post in !! So I made my own.
Anyone else who gets one feel free to add your thoughts in here.
I had to make a new thread for the UK versions because sadly they are lesser in spec (more later) than the EU version (again) but we do get the warrantied ABT.
So the car is a thing of utter beauty, in the flesh it is INCREDIBLE.
Pictures cannot do it justice.
It drives fantastic and you’d expect and even not exceeding 4-4-5k rpm if goes like stink and remains planted to the road.
My pal who drove me to the dealers today in his Merc 63 could not keep up coming off roundabouts onto dual carriageway on the way home (granted he would catch up on a longer road...but we’d be far over the legal limit by then anyway lol).
Interior is nice, seats are amazing.
It’s only done 28miles but there is some nice sounds coming from the rear already !!
It terms of spec, sadly my fears are confirmed the UK gets a dumbed down version for reasons only known to Seat.
No Adaptive Cruise.
No High Beam Assist.
No Traffic Recognition.
No Lane Assist.
No Beats Audio.
No Michelin Cup 2 Tyres (we get Conti 5p)
However after driving the thing... I don’t care about the above. It’s just so much fun to drive, handles great, sounds great, looks great.. I’m still pinching myself it’s here sat on my drive !!!!!!
Apparently I’m the first private UK owner on the road with one ?!?!?
