Seat Altea Freetrack TSI 4x4
Discussion
After 3 long years in a Seat Mii, it was time for something that I can fit a decent size bike rack and chuck all the stuff in the back of. I'd originally looked at earlier model Nissan Elgrands, but as I had to finance it, they wouldn't do it on such an older vehicle.
Looked at a Focus C-Max that sounded better on paper. Then, I found this on Autotrader. Seemed to tick all the boxes (big, quick and quite rare). After the dealer handed me the keys and told me to go for a drive on my own, I was pretty much sold.
This is the 2.0 TSI model (same engine as MK5 Golf GTI).
Only got dealer pics at moment. Taking some more when I pick it up next week. Need to purchase my third PH smiley now! Suggestions welcome

Gave it a good scrub today and have been driving it a few days. Few minor issues I want to get sorted and a few upgrades planned
- one heater vent open/close wheel broken (stays closed).
- New gear knob and gaiter.
- Minor scratches here and there.
- Wheels could do with a refurb (may get new wheels eventually).
- Want a remap and custom stainless steel exhaust.
Here are a few very amateur photos and apologies for the interior (just been to the tip with a carpet and hoover on charge). Just waiting for my 2" PH smiley to arrive now!

Forgot to add that a replacement radio is on the cards too. Apparently yellow are quite rare! Would have been quite a coincidence to get the same color as the outgoing car in the first pic
To be honest, I wasn't aware of the petrol one till I saw this on Autotrader.
Ideally, I would like one of the more modern VAG head units with DAB and built in nav etc. From the little research I've done, it looks like a bit of minefield.
