I’m certainly leaning towards the Ateca and this video didn’t Put me off at all. But I haven’t yet studied the costs of the different engines n specs that I would want / need. I would not b at all surprised if the end figure was a very (very) long way from the ‘very reasonably priced entry model’ ...
Well what did you decide on if you don't mind me asking?? It's because I can't decide myself have a few in mind leaning towards a BMW X1, TIGUAN, MAZDA CX5, ATECA OR 3008
Look behind the sharp lines though- no independent rear suspension, no 12v socket on the boot, dodgy cup holders, cheap carpet & parcel shelf material, higher specs only have gadgets you'd expect to have included, SAT NAV screen not great. It's a good car and does look sharp but it's NOT quite up there for comfort & quality as the actual VW's. VW know this and aren't stupid. Makes a sound lease option though, if you're on a budget but want bang 4 buck!
Good review - going to get a test drive with a view to replace my Leon. Only one thing once you start looking at specs and prices, starts getting costly once you start specing to same as my Leon SE. E.g. DAB radio and LED lights. Guess your paying a for extra height!
never got the thing with "soft plastic touch"... why on earth you need to be touching that plastic??? ok you touch once to check how it feels. then maybe touch a few times when you cleaning your car and that's it. unless you have some sexual desires in your car, then you need help...
I have a feeling This is one of those cars that all the reviewers say is great but in reality its a great big pile of cheap shit, like the citroen C4 picasso.
Alex Mitchell I've had mine for just over a week now and I must say it's a really decent car, comfy, fun to drive and materials and infotainment are both fantastic!
On paper it’s the greenest on offer... re the diesel... errr... even new Diesel engines are 6 times more polluting than petrol. Time for car manufacturers to stop pushing them on us
This reviewer is really good.
Really very good, indeed.
Great car. And another own goal for the VW Group. Rarely makes any sense to go for the VW badged versions when the Skodas and SEATs are this good.
VW owns Seat and Skoda. Now who do you think makes the money?
The Tiguan is a lot like this car, but the Tiguan has more options, is more robust, has powerful engines and looks more expensive.
Jaikee Berlin that is why he wrote “VW badged” lol
"really very good"

Don't you have the double floor in the boot as an option in britain? Solves the problem with long flat packages.
not only in britain, been available for quite some time already.
Picking a 17 plate 2.0 dsl soon cant wait
I'm actually thinking of buying one of these this has been a great help I've narrowed it down to this or a ford kuga
Well what did you decide on if you don't mind me asking?? It's because I can't decide myself have a few in mind leaning towards a BMW X1, TIGUAN, MAZDA CX5, ATECA OR 3008
What did you choose & how has it been reliability wise? i too am deciding between this & a kuga. 2016/17 ish.
@@ThatInnerVoiceOfReason i got an ateca FR that ive just traded for a cupra Ateca.
Went for the Tiguan
Great review
Seat says it can manage around 54.3 mpg and 121 grams per kilometer of C02!

I would wait a year before It comes available with Leather Seats
Leather seats suck.
Oh no, i bought one with leather brown seats. Now it's gonna suck :'(
Laurent de backer hahaha epic
Wait a year and top spec with leather seats be worth half the price as new
How wrong you were
Is it similar to the Skoda Kodiaq coming in 2017?
Similar, but the Kodiaq will be longer and will allow for seven seats, not sure if just as an option. The rear lights are very similar.
surely this is aimed at the SKODA YETI not VW TIGUAN
Doupik 95% u meant ?
I like this guy better than that Car Wow guy.
Do a review on the new citigo
Is the SKODA Kodiaq the same car? it looks like it.
It's all manufactured by VW
Thanks I knew that.
Kodiak is a bigger car, with 7 seats in option. Is something like Qashqai and X-Trail. Both are made in Czech Republic by Skoda.
Seat Ateca is the new Skoda Yeti. Both produced in Czech republic.
They both have square wheel arches too
Great review thanks
Pretty sharp lookin' ride!
well if the eu get stroppy and get difficult with trade barriers.... slap a nice big tarrif on it and all european makes of cars ..
Choice of material is a bit iffy but not bad car otherwise.
Looks nice car just hope seat do some good deals on it!
never got the thing with "soft plastic touch"... why on earth you need to be touching that plastic??? ok you touch once to check how it feels. then maybe touch a few times when you cleaning your car and that's it. unless you have some sexual desires in your car, then you need help...
That's a babymama car.
cool

i never got the life i really wanted and it was only a simple life. ill also never get a seat ateca. not new anyway.
Se-at? Da fuq? This guy fucked up on the easiest car brand name....
He actually pronounced it correctly.
If you pronounce it as seat, then lol
Erik Haugland he said it right you spastic
this reminds me of Saab
SEAT KOTEKA
41 mpg 😐
I have a feeling This is one of those cars that all the reviewers say is great but in reality its a great big pile of cheap shit, like the citroen C4 picasso.
Alex Mitchell seat cars have always been good

Agree that the C4 Picasso is shit!
don't compare Peugeots and it's siblings to Séat their Spanish linked to their German cousins.
Shame the Ateca is the so weeny. Had no idea it was so tiny until I saw one on the road.
"A77 ECA"
*facepalm*

Nicolas Cannon Where did you get that fact? Source?
00:37 In fact Seat IS German.
I didn't know what, thank you
notformebeaky my cupra was build in spain
Yeah, it's just as german as Chrysler is Italian.
And Jaguar is indian ?
It’s Spanish

This looks very cheap and much like a skoda is too heavy, cheap and tacky it will be a good workhorse but not very efficient
What an annoying presenter, car buyer :(
TRUE
NOT TRUE
Gerardo Salas what an annoying commenter
dschonsie What an annoying replier
Billy McAuliffe the presenter is ok, i was talking about the whiny comments.

Another boring version cockpit Peugeot 3008 all day long
Heap of scrap.

Yep, I always dislike the videos with him(?) as a presenter.
Gerardo Salas Yet you keep watching & keep making the same comment. Go elsewhere or suck it up, buttercup. Carbuyer subscriber numbers are rising...
MrTrull1 I don't watch them. I actually just dislike them and find another review of the car with a better presenter.
Wael Mkawer If nobody cares, then why do you keep on replying? Ps. I am not british, fyi
