You seriously should ditch the idea of the SEAT.You are kidding yourself if you think they are the same sar. (engine yes) but seriously hold on to your money. Sorry SEAT Chaps in here, but once youve spent it, youve lost 4 grand straight away on part ex on one later.
It is not the same car, because of just its engine.
Your right its not the same car, ours are quicker round the track
I paid 17.5k for my cupra k1 brand new 9 months ago.
58 plate in my local dealers is up for 18.5k which has the same options but isnt even white. The one on piston heads, older than mine, more mileage, up for 16.5k. People over on SCN have paid less for a brand new k1 than I have. White k1's are holding their value, people are still paying 19k for late models.
How much have you lost in depreciation?
At the end of the day the difference between the ed30 and the cupra is the interior or the brakes. I personally for one dont sleep in my car, I like to drive it hard, and the cupra is better equipped to do so. You obviously rated interior looks over better brakes, I did the opposite, and now its time for subaru26675 to do the same.
The fact that the GTI ed30 brakes are small made it a 2 pony race between the s3 and cupra for me when I was looking to buy.
