I've been on this site since June of this year, so I thought it was time I told you my story and how some threads have been helpful in the decisions we have made.
My 2 daughters swim for a club and their county so we do travel around the country with large swim bags. A swim dad who is a Seat salesman in February talked about the Ateca and it being a good replacement the wife's Mercedes A class. I got Mercedes passes to the Belgium GP and on the way back to Calais we called in on a Seat dealer who had 4 Ateca's in the showroom so now for the first time we could see one for real. Once home our salesman friend had a new Leon in Lava blue and the wife seeing it said "that's the colour for the Ateca". So the grey I had in mind was out the window. There was a thread about the lava blue may not be a good colour but after seeing the pictures from "Wiz2003 - I've nearly got her" I was convinced it would look good.
So on the 20th Oct we ordered a 1.6 TDI SE Tech in lava blue, with dark rear windows, electric tailgate, spare wheel and the convenience pack. The dealer last Tuesday 6th Dec emailed me the paperwork to be signed and returned. They called on Wednesday 7th Dec to say it was on dockside. They called again on Monday 12th Dec saying it was at the dealership and when did I want it delivered. So delivery is tomorrow afternoon. Pictures will be forth coming after Sunday as we are off to France tomorrow evening.
I can't wait for it to arrive.
