so these people with the 1.5L ibizas, have they struck the car investment jackpot or will it not make much difference?>

I think there are enough punters willing to pay over the odds right now, but when it reappears on the Seat UK price list then they'll have missed their chance to cash in.

I know, I want to see when it's put on the ship etc! I'm struggling with the wait already and it's only mid January, got another 2 months to go basically!

I have also placed my order on a desire red Xcellence Lux 115 PS and was told the lead time is between 12 and 14 weeks. Dealer reckons 20 weeks is more realistic

Looks gorgeous! The white is great, I just know it would be a hassle to keep clean!

Edit: What's the colour scheme in the interior like? Does it have the 'ice metal' inserts on the doors?

Interior is better than I expected. Seats are very comfortable leather and dark grey alcantara. Same colour grey inserts to doors as wheels and mirrors and also fog light surrounds. Red or white led ambient lighting to doors as well. I’ll get some pics tomorrow for you. To be fair I was hesitant as to what the car would be like in person as when I ordered the xcellence Lux didn’t even exist. But I was blown away as to how nice it is on the outside and even more so on the inside. Discs on the back. ACC is amazing first time using it. For a 1 litre when you put your foot down it goes! Also driving normally over the last couple of days I have 49 mpg.

Awesome! I'm glad they're grey, not the white you get on the Arona. They look grey in the configurator, but are described as being 'Ice Metal', which is the wording the use with the Arona too.

I managed to find an Xcellence with the alcantara interior to test drive, although it had the plain black plastic dash insert not the padded 'leather' version. The seats were great, I was just wondering about the colour of the stitching and the door inserts, as the brochure is a bit rubbish and contradictory in places.

ACC is what sold me on the Xcellence Lux over the FR Sport TBH. The only other things the Xcellence has as standard that I wanted was the centre armrest and parking sensors, the latter of which are available as an option and the armrest is an easy retrofit. I test drove a Golf with it and thought it was just awesome, I had to have it!

Yes leather dash is much nicer. Arm rest is nice and handy as is the reversing camera along with sensors. Keyless entry and start is excellent. I took a couple or shoddy night pictures for you but will get some day time ones tomorrow. No white stitching or inserts. 5F6A31F8-7DA9-4DB0-B6B7-8310AD896055.jpeg B34EE219-DDA3-4856-875C-EB771CCED49F.jpeg CB3A9656-A03E-4FE6-ACF3-6CFEABD4A4A3.jpeg 37061436-DD93-42B3-887D-3E39B55F125E.jpeg
