All depends on the dealer tho, 3 Seat dealers in GT Manchester , one of them spoke to me like i couldn't afford a 20000k car ( with options ) the other dealer was just a pushy little sh*t bout 22, so i bought the car from the dealer who gave me 2 UTD V Liverpool tickets , a Seat track day , and...

36k for the Aux belt doffo need's doing , i'm not 100% ,but i think it run's the altanator, but when they snap they can ( and do ) take out your cam belt ( timing belt ) and thats a new engaine or costley rebuild!!!!!!!
Try RStuninng in Leed's , i think it will be about 250-300 quid for full...

I'm in the same boat mate, not coz of the price of fuel ( i get fuel for free ) but coz of the miles going on the car, my comute is about 190 miles a week before social stuff!
I pick up my brand new Leon Cupra on the 1st of december there's no way i'm gonna put the best part of 200miles a week...
I never even looked too see the driver , to busy watching the stop-start traffic, he came from Cherry tree lane and zoooooooooomed off up that road at the side of the Bamford arm's!
My car look's std now, so maybe he wanted to terrify me with his Oval zorst Lol
Nice clean car tho!

If you really want a turbo, then keep the 172 , save up more pennie's test drive all the contender's, R26,ST3,VXR,new Cupra and choose the car that's right for you, i chose the Cupra , best build, best resale value, very good handling , fastest car here ( don't believe 0-60 times or bhp figure's...
Nice car , but the man's only got bout 9k!
The 182 with cup packs is a upgrade , but is it worth the extra? no in my opinion.
I'd stick with what you have until you can affored a PROPER upgrade!
leon
I wouldn't pay the extra for the 182 if your 172 is in good nic and been looked after!
Spend a few quid on the 172, inlets, remap, Eibachs, Itg panel and save the rest for your next car!
Or sell up now , decent car's can be had for 8-9k now ep9 TypeR ?
leon
Leave it as std untill you get some miles under your belt!
Give it 1000 miles or so before you start modding/tuning to loosen up and chances are the car will have a few niggles that need to be sorted at the dealers so warrenty issues come in to play!

^^^^^^^^ Agreed ^^^^^^^^^^^
The day's of the LIGHT chuchable hatches are gone , cars are getting heavier!
In the hot hatch market theres always been a two class system , for every 106 gti theres a 306 gti 6, xr2 theres xr3i or rs turbo , some would say not strictly hot hatches , but the...
The new breed of hot hatches are more grown up and weigh more, but you also get more power , better brakes , better safety, better build, and in some case's just as good a handling car as the CLASSIC hot hatch !
Some would say the whole ethos of the hot hatch is being diluted, but it's just...
Resale value on cars is shocking across the board, and Renaults more than most coz of the amount they sell and the deals to be had!
Sell on the Autotrader for maximum money, or trade it in and barter like fook on the new car!
