whey got Altea! :D

[liver-red]

Didn't go for the one with 87K.. spent £1K more and travelled 4 hours away and got this:

2005 - 2.0 Fsi Sport Tiptronic (posh name for semi automatic?!) with 25K on the clock.​

First time driving an automatic..... why didn't I do it before!


Love everything about it - the carbon fibre effect on the dash, rubber bits on the seats. seats are comfy as hell.

Vision is a little poorer then my ibiza but just getting used to it.

Only downside with it - is the Cruise control doesn't always work (easy to fix I persume - i'll look into it shortly)
Ooo and the fact I can't reach my baby who's sat in the back - Ton's of space! (not a bad thing?!)

Other then that it's perfect

Other half wants to tint the windows more but she's happy too

Didn't think anyone else had one of these.....

Much more fun in 'S' than 'D' as well but it does eat a lot more fuel that way as it rarely changes into top and holds revs in gear a lot longer. Don't find the 'manual' that natural to tap change either - the MB system seems much better, now if someone could come up with some paddles for the steering wheel...........

Oh and your speedo is probably reading 10% fast as well.

I noticed the fuel seems to go down in 'S' ............ It is fun though... goes round corners like a small hatchback

the 'manual' is a bit strange - but guess thats getting used to it at the times when you "miss having a manual".

Thanks for the advice on the speedo - (i've just been on a speeding seminar course!).

As standard as present - I'm sure I'll change the wheels at some point
