.... to Lexi the 'Go.

 

after almost 7yrs and 54000km of gocart driving pleasure that always put a smile on my face when i borrowed her, swmbo's citigo is, as i type, being given to a dealer to find a new home. 

 

i'll unveil Lexi's replacement later, when swmbo gets home.....

When I first saw the title, I thought 'Bloody hell, now what!'

Hello un named Arona....

 

 

1.0tsi 7speed dsg xcellence  spec

after swmbo drove it 38km home there is now 64km on the clock.

6months since first registered 9k less than new list price with lexi thrown in... too good to walk away!

Nice - I looked at an Arona in that spec with the MIL last year...   unfortunately she went on to buy a Jazz...

 

Stupid thing is she was taken with it and liked red with a black roof (she didn't like the silver they offered) but they could only find a red with a grey roof...

 

The jazz is grey...

we both test drove a manual kamiq aswell, it was what swmbo spottedlast week and liked the look of. i then spent a day convincing her that the arona was the same vehicle, but was available a bit older thus in budget. she found an arona in one nearby dealer we couldnt afford as it was only 1 yr old but wanted to test drive one anyway - it was an xcellence dsg in silver with 5500km on it. she really liked it, drove the manual kamiq same day and preferred the dsg. a little googling and a phone call to a seat dealer up the road.. "i have 6 of them ill send through the details" and after some chatting and back and forth between a couple of dealers with similar models we got a massive discount on it, so its now hers

i have to say its a really nice place to sit. nicer than the kamiq, esp as the infotainment is built into the dash fully, instead of the weird half pedestal dust trap setup in the kamiq...

Agree with you there...   They drive really nicely and the interior is a good place to be as its comfy, well laid out with good access and visibility.  I was hoping shed go for it as we might end up with her cast off eventually and it would be a cracking car for my daughter in a few years.

 

Overall I think the Arona is a much better car than the Jazz but it wasn't to be...

 

And it sounds like you got a cracking deal as well!

yup, hopefully we wont need to utilise the warranty on anything...

and now we are up to a new one and decent size, plan will be keep it young and fresh.. 

 

 

on the deal... with lexi we paid €18500... sticker price 23950, list price of a new one to same spec (6months newer, otherwise identical) about €27000
