swapping my low mileage 2003 TT for a 2004 Seat Leon Cupra TDI.

There is cash involved my way.

I've had a drive and it's quite a powerful diesel.

Basically the same car underneath, other than the engine and 4wd. I used to a own a Leon Cupra R and it was a hoot!

Well would you regret not swapping the TT away?

Its nothing anyone can really answer for you. Establish your needs and requirements. Here's a few questions you should ask yourself.

Do I do enough miles to justify owning a trac...diesel?

Is the TT too impractical?

Would I have more practicality with the Leon?

What can I use the cash for?

What is the resale value going to be for the Leon when I want to sell?

Essentially both are VAG Cars so you can expect the same reliablilty and same build quality.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I think the Seat will suit the wife (the main driver) better with two (young ish) kids. Although the Audi was fine and the boot was okay size wise.

She does low miles, but I think the Seat would be an easy sale in the future.

The Audi (a MK1) is a great looking car though IMHO.

TT's have been known to age well and hold onto their value.
