Yeah, I gotta say I kinda agree with ya all!
The Seats have a lot of options as standard where as on a VW u've gotta splash out extra cash to bring it in line with a Seat's.
However, saying that, the inner build quality of the plastics etc.. on a Seat doesn't come anywhere close to those of VWs and Audis. So I'm reckoning that they save on cheap parts hence able to throw in the extras as a compensation. So it's really a game of compromise of something good just for some extra features. Kinda like buying a cheap chinese (no offence to the rest of chinese products since i'm sure brands like Clarion, Alpine, Pioneer also manufacture theirs in China nowadays and the qualities are still good) head unit that has all the extras in it like TV, GPS and DVD at a fraction of the price of the OEMs. But end of the day ur better off with quality (with respect to the head unit example it would've been sound quality) and paying for the extras, if u know what I mean
@Tazz - yup ur absolutely right, how bizarre!
I've gotta say one thing though. In the family we had a Seat Ibiza petrol 1.4 which was very nippy around corners, good acceleration, good drive. The only difference between it and the Golf in driving was the braking. I had to slam on the brakes pedal really hard to get it to respond, whereas the Golf u only need to step on her pedal at close range. I feel always more in control when behind the Golf's wheel. Her brakes, absolutely wonderful! And she doesn't even jerk when coming to a grinding halt, just love this part the most.
