should i buy the seat sport gear knob?

[tris]

Been toying with the idea of getting the seat sport gear knob but am thinking about the rather big price tag
Dose anyone know if non cupra leon owners may buy the cupra knob or has it got 5 gears?
found out price of the normal one and nearly fell over but was then told they have never sold one so i maybe stuck with it.
there is always Ebay people seem to be able to sell anything there

They are available in 5 and 6 speed IIRC.

Get one bought, you know it makes sense.

I am eagerly waiting the delivery of mine but it's on backorder

They do seem expensive for something you just change gear with.
Can you justify the cost really i couldn't

 

[Feel]

I think there's one for sale in the classifieds

 

[paul h]

says possibly sold though doesn't it ??
I thought about it

 

[RikH]

whats the point
speaking like a spaz that hasnt seen one
as said, you just change gear with it

i find the normal one a bit small when giving it a pasting

The Seat Sport one is also a little shorter and has more weight to it - it seems to sweeten up the shift a bit.

a knobs a knob. Well so the woman tells me (bet u knew it wouldnt take long for a joke didnt ya )

They are expensive. But they are very nice, fit well and look good. Much better than the £15 ebay/halfrauds jobbie will ever be. £50 is a chunk, but in my opinion i woldnt ever go back


EDIT: together with a short-shifter it works really nicely

i was waiting for that pabs

I have one in my LCR, and drive my mates LCR a bit (his knob is standard) and the SEAT Sport ones are much better, feel much better in your hand* and do sharpen up the gear change, having one, I would never be without it.
