Seat Ateca FR Sport 1.5tsi DSG rhodium grey, no extras, £1099 AP at time of ordering but £1499 now. Ordered 29th Dec and collected 6th March 21.
We are 4000 miles in and we love it. The electric leather heated drivers seat is superb. 8 way adjustment including lumbar and 3 memory settings. The steering wheel has a big variation in reach and rake so finding a comfortable driving position was no problem. The passenger seat is not electric but my partner (for whom the car is awarded to) is very comfortable and she loves the 3 heat settings on the seats (front only). We have 3 children, 2 in car seats and an elder child who fits in the middle pretty comfortably. The boot is manual on this trim but not overly heavy so easy to open and close and very square and spacious.
This 1.5tsi DSG version is superb to drive as well. We, well I ? originally wanted the 2litre tsi but it wasn’t available as it’s was due to be updated but it certainly doesn’t lack power and its very responsive in sports mode but takes too long to change gears so it’s in individual mode and I set the steering to sports as its heavier which I prefer and kept the engine/ gearbox in normal. 36mpg with a slightly heavy foot is my average. Can get 45mpg when I try but eco mode doesn’t really give you the power when needed so I tend to avoid it as our little cul-de-sac exits onto a 50mph A road and there are lots of fast roads where we live.
I love the colour as it goes with the sporty look grey wing mirrors and the 19in 2 tone black/ silver wheels are so nice.
Android auto is wireless which is brilliant unless the phone battery is low because the wireless charging pad is only 5w and therefore when using wireless android auto and wireless charging simultaneously then the battery actually drains even with the phone screen locked off!! Obviously I just plug my phone in to charge when using wireless android auto now and that solved that.
Other bits I love are the scrolling rear indicators and the digital cockpit is superb. The front LED headlights are excellent although it’s not got high beam assist which I loved on our previous 2018 Qashqai nor road sign recognition as it hasn’t got a camera. The only safety system is the front assist which is pretty standard in every car these days so I think they have been a bit tight only offering ACC and such goodies on the top experience models only.
Overall we are extremely happy as we got a £199 discount and therefore only paid £900 AP. At £1499 as priced now though it wouldn’t be such an easy decision but it’s still a lot of car for the AP.
