As per the title really. I’ve been away from SEAT for a few years and due to a change of circumstances I’m coming out of a company car (MK7.5 GolfR) and am now looking to run my own car again.
I’ll be doing approx 20k miles p.a. Mostly motorway and dual carriageway entirely at my own expense. Looking for used/nearly new partly for value but mostly because I haven’t got/don’t want to wait months for delivery.
I drove the higher powered variant a few years ago and was impressed also I spent a short stint in a job that provided me with a Golf GTD (MK7 with 184bhp) which again I enjoyed.
I’ve tried to test both power versions back to back without success although I have tested a 150bhp FR today and was impressed.
Am I missing anything, other than the power output? As the reality is that even 150bhp is plenty for my driving style and type of driving.
I felt that the 150bhp was a little noisy although without back to back testing it’s difficult to know whether the higher power version would be any different and in any event it could have been down to tyres. The car was on 17s not 18s and was certainly noisier than the GolfR which is on 19 inche Pretoria’s.
(By noise I am referring to general/road noise not engine noise-with the Golf being petrol and the Leon diesel)
Any thoughts and advice gratefully received.
