And some of those are vague fillers whilst others have been on every car made in the last ten years.

Loved the old Seat 500 though.

Hidden exhaust pipe! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is that actually classified as a feature now? I think it means they've finally agreed that fake exhaust outlets are rather passé.

No I think that you get everything on the list for £25k - SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TDI Xcellence Lux 5dr
From £24,995 Cash Price. SAVING £8,880. *Must be ordered & registered by 30th Nov '19*
I'm certainly not contemplating one - my point was just to compare this fully loaded VAG vehicle with say the 2.0 base model Macan - & contrast the value for money factor!

^.^^.^ Have to agree with you trialframe. That's a lot of SUV for £25k.

Quite often when you spec up similar sort of cars you end up at £40k

A lot of money for a "basic, normal car" :shock: :shock:

The most you can lose on this car in 3 years is £25k. A heavily specced Macan of any flavour will lose that plus more in the same period
