DACH Supersonic August 27, 2017 Share August 27, 2017 On 8/20/2017 at 1:19 AM, Fungyee77 said: Saw the Ateca in person yesterday. Was suitably impressed. - Everything feels very solid and well put together. - Buttons had the right amount of damping, and had little free play - The head unit was responsive, with good definition screen - Also liked the seat material - not leather, some velvety/alcatara type material, which I thought was a nice change of pace (though I imagine it could get a bit warm on hot days) - Design wise, I think i actually prefer the sportier design language of the Ateca to that of the Tiguan On the [minor] downsides, the some of the plastics in the front of the cabin are harder than that of the Tiguan (but still feels like good quality plastics). In a sense, there is more consistency throughout the Ateca cabin in this regards. The Tiguan has high quality materials in the front of the cabin, but has a lot of hard plastics in the second row, and in the centre storage compartment in the front. It looks and feels good. It would be better if they bring in the 1.0l turbo with 2WD version. Will probably sell quite well. The 1.4l AWD version is quite expensive for many people thinking of buying the Ateca. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezersg 3rd Gear August 5, 2018 Share August 5, 2018 Anyone here booked the Ateca? Or actually driving the car? Thinking of getting one... The Arona thread is more lively... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithchue 5th Gear August 5, 2018 Share August 5, 2018 saw this ateca in my carpark yesternight, owner was previously driving a e-class. downgrade to ateca? it is the same as the tiguan, with that said, I would go for the tiguan, call me a badge snoob if you will, however, the perception of the brand is there. however, I would not buy this car at this price - 150K, I would be considering the GLA, more reliability, ateca has the same runnings on the same MQB platform, so GB/engine are the same...

My understanding Wet clutch is better, as the clutch assembly is constantly bathed in oil, which means it'll have a longer life & able to take more abuse. However, this means higher cost in the wet clutch gb by manufacturer, and limited to cars with higher torque o/p 250Nm above. Dry clutch is more efficient, but more subjected to overheating issues as reported in some cars.. Personally I would prefer wet than dry, in terms of consideration of reliability - Partly 1 reason why I choose Ateca over other Conti cars in the similiar price region 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Ubi showroom recently. Pretty quiet. Got ready stocks for those who want b4 CNY. The Seat Ateca is the cheapest option for the same VW family segment such as VW Tiguan and the Skoda Karoq. Only difference is that Seat is managed by Vertex whereas Tiguan and Karoq are distributed by VW Sg. Surprisingly Skoda's latest showroom at Leng Kee has the same distinctive up-market feel as the VW car showroom. Very out of touch haha :)) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a lot of attention when driving my new ride SEAT marketing team should work harder if they want to be as successful as their sister SKoda. In terms of quatity & specs, are at least on par with the other VAG brands Btw any Ateca owners can advice where to get fitting magnetic sun shades?

Approached a company who specialized in customizing them and was told they are waiting for 500 orders for my car before making the mould.
