[stuarttunstall]

Well after almost 4 month waiting... teach me to want all the options it has arrived at the Dealer at 5pm last night. My new Dakota Red Seat Exeo 2.0TDi Sport Tech.. with all the options

Been and looked it over today, and it looked fantastic, even though it was still covered in plastic, and the outside needs a clean..

Can't wait till next Saturday to have a play..

Here's a couple of pictures:-

Superb spec but have to admit, I'm not sold on the colour.

I'm waiting for mine to arrive like a kid waiting for Santa! Should be here within the next month or so all being well

Have to agree, Dakota red looks a bit old bod aubergine or maroon to me
Loving the shape tho A4

That colour looks really good in the flesh photos don't do anything for it, good choice!

Sad arn't we

I am collecting mine on Saturday.... it is just like waiting for Christmas Day to arrive as a kid.....

 

[RobM]

Quite honestly I'm surprised I'm not sat outside the local Seat dealer right now, asking for the keys

 

[stuarttunstall]

Well, it is now home..... all I can say is :-

WOW!!! What a car

It looks fantastic now it is cleaned and polished, with the protection stuff removed... drives like a dream.... I will post more pictures very soon

Just copied 2 SDHC cards full of music.... they work in the satnav OK..... the BOSE sounds great, much, much better sound quality than the Leon...

Just 2 minor issues....

I ordered the accessory mats, which should have the EXEO logo according to the accessory brochure, but the mats that arrived are the same as the standard fit items... part numbers on bags are correct, but the mats appear wrong .... Dealer now checking, but will give me a refund if they have a problem...

Unless a dealer on the site can confirm/deny they should have the logo on the front mats?

Also, I ordered the "storage pack", and the cargo net is missing... he is going to sort this for me...

As I say nothing major....

On first impressions, it has to be the best SEAT I have owned so far....

 

[RobM]

At least those issues are just (hopefully) down to some chump putting things in the wrong packaging, or forgetting to put things in your car. Should be easily fixed

The loan car I had was delivered with broken central locking, so when I saw you had 2 minor issues I started panicking! Already worried that something wont be right on Monday when mine arrives.

 

[stuarttunstall]

Nothing wrong with the car itself that, even though I have had less than an hour behind the wheel, is fantastic, and fault free... so far....

These are more to do with "additions" to the car....

I am sure you will be over the moon.... just like me

Having read all the issues with the diesel particulate filters, that is the only concern I have about having my first diesel car... speaking to the "trade", and the "VAG specialists" they all say that the common rail is better suited to the DPF than the old PD engine, and as long as you do not do a lot of stop start driving, and give it a run on occasions you should be oK... but the fear is still there

 

[RobM]

Take the long route once or twice a month and the DPF will be fine, it just needs a good run to get up to temperature and do it's thing. A lot of what you read is internet hype and fear

 

[stuarttunstall]

The good thing is I live in a village, and anywhere I go is around 10 miles of national speed limit roads in any direction...

Most of the information on the web is for 2007-2009 which would be the old PD engines... I think

Knew it would not stay clean long been out today, wet roads, bit of drizzle thrown in..... now dirty

Teach me to buy a car in winter.....
