Difference between 1.4 SC SE and 1.4 SC Sport

[IainW]

A friend of mine is looking at new cars and wants to know the difference between the Sport Coupe 1.4 SE and the 1.4 Sport. After looking at the seat.co.uk site, all I seem to be able to see is that the Sport has sports seats and sports suspension. Anyone know more?

the sport is the 5dr and the coupe is three door mine is comung next week. i think the sport also has a sportier gear knob, but its weird because i think the se has cruise control but the sport doesnt

To clear up any confusion, I'm wondering what the differences between the 3 door SE and 3 door Sport are.

 

[spireman]

i thinks its just the suspension seats gearknob and steering wheel

The Sport has over the SE 16" Alloys in lieu of 15" Alloys, Sports Seats, Sports Suspension & Gearknob but loses cruise control.

only the wheels i missed, i should really know picking one up next week

The sport does not have cruise control, but it has the twin headlights (a little sportier), sports suspension, sports seats, silver fascia, but that's about all i can see really !. Just picked up my 1.6 Sport today and love it !

Best Regards,

Cruise is not seen as a spoty option, rather a comfort option.

I would imagine it could be added from the factory or retrofitted as they do on the mk4's

You got it in one nathwarr, the cruise control isn't often seen on sportier versions. My dad's Leon SE has cruise control but my Leon Cupra didn't !

been to look at new car today, salesman brought it to show me straight off trailer at the dealership, and it had a big piece of weld stuck to the bottom of the passenger door. the only solution was to chisel it off and have the bottom of the door resprayed, YEAH RIGHT.So apparently they have one coming into the country this week with folding door mirrors and 17 inch wheels which they reckon will have to be swapped but i say they should leave them on. ive not made a decision yet but i had a run in the new VW golf 1.4 tsi 122 bhp it was mint went like a bullet but obviously a lot more expensive so im not sure what to do and ideas

 

[andy15star]

Thats bad luck ! - the only thing that put me off the VW's is the price, the price of parts and the price of servicing. My mate has a bog standard Golf and the cost of servicing against Seat is phenomenal !, other than that VW are excellent cars, if you can afford to run them lol !!

Can you not ring around your local Seat dealers and ask if they have a Demo Ibiza in ? - that's what i did and both dealers had one in, ended up getting £2400 knocked off on a 5 month old car with less than 2,000 miles on the clock !

Hope you get sorted !

my old man is giving me some cash so i reckon i may have the golf, after speaking to seat it looks like the tsi 1.4 engine will be going in the ibiza so its on another planet compared to the 1.4 in it know

my wife had one of these 1.4 sports on loan & i honestly could not recommend one, v.under powered & much prefer the Mk4 TDI FR she had before

Well one is basically bottom of the range shopping trolley and the other is a warm hatch. Handling wise I bet the mk5 had it licked though.

 

[OnTheJazz]

Yeah i think the mk5 is abit more confidence inspiring, but the 1.4 does not even begin to test the handling!

Just trash the 1.4 then it goes well
