Hi,
This week, I took delivery my new Ateca and have put around 450 miles on it. For anyone interested, I had an average of 28mpg whilst driving in eco mode through a mixed route with a single passenger and no luggage.
It's a pleasure to drive, smooth, quiet, comfortable and love the seats, very happy with my choice even though the mpg is going to hurt a little more than I expected. Oh and a tip! make sure you check for the sat nav SD card before leaving the showroom, I did based on suggestions from this forum and it was missing so I was glad I asked - thanks for those who suggested it.
My only real gripe at the moment is kind of a big one. Every time I lock the car, it looses my place on the media and plays the first track again when I restart the engine. This has 2 frustrations, I am already sick of hearing the first track alphabetically on my usb/sd and if I am listening to a playlist or more importantly an audiobook, I lose my place and have to start again every time I make a stop on a long journey.
I have read through the manual, looked through some forums, asked SEAT customer service and my dealer and the only answer I got was from SEAT who said "it doesn't have an internal memory so cant remember your last song". This is obviously rubbish because the media player remembers my settings etc. The rest said they had not been asked the question before and don't know the answer.
I have tried reformatting the usb drive and tried an SD card. currently I am using FAT32. I have tried various methods of re-organising my files to see if that helped but so far nothing has.
Does this affliction affect everyone else and have you found a way around it or does this just sound like an issue with mine?
Thanks.

i have found the shuffle works if i reduce the amount of memory used on the usb/card it works fine, loading the last track played, i would suggest you try that first and see how it goes, just for the record my first usb had 18gb of memory used i reduced it down to 8gb and it stopped the issue ??, the other option i have found is turn off the shuffle and it will play the last track you were playing even with the big usb
