the rare 150 bhp tdi sport

[WeeJase]

does anyone own one?
as far as i can see it has the 150 bhp pd tdi motor,tear drop shaped mirrors,leon cupra style seats.and that seems to be it.does it have anything else that would temp a potential buyer from buying it over a 110?
the standard wheels look hideous so thats one thing against it,but looks like it sit s slightly lower than other models,does it have "sports" suspension?
it seems like seat never even built it ,as far as finding information on this model goes.
basically do i buy a 110 and save a packet,or get a small loan and buy a last of the line 150 sport.
how supportive are the seats in a 110 ?they look like you would fall out at the slightest hint of a bend,of course the car i choose will remain completely standard

 

[WeeJase]

it is going to be a the smallest owners club in the world NO body own one?

..must be an expansion of your 'solo division' jase..

There are only 2 showing on the approved used car section at SEAT dealers so looking very rare indeed.

Both Grey 54 plate cars, 1 49k £7495, the other 27K £7795.

Closest one to you is in Hampshire.

theres a few more on autotrader, all around the same price/mileage

i know of three around my area, all black. dont think they are as well spec'd as the 110 or 130 se models.

I have a Toledo Sport 150, 54 plate. What do you wanna know about it?

 

[WeeJase]

hello there
basically what kind spec are they?is it just the engine thats "different" it seems to have a slightly better/newer trim level than 110's i have seen,also "looks" slightly lowere than others i have seen.
are you happy with it?
oh and welcome to cupranet

how so? whats different/lower specced?

 

[maccyn]

I am very happy with it. Had it for about 18 months. Paid £9,500 when it had done 11,000 miles. Has been remapped (custom code phase one) since July and I am getting 48-49mpg using Shell diesel. Haven't had to do anything else to it except sort out a brake caliper problem once.
I don't know what the spec of the other models are. I believe mine is standard. 6 speed gearbox, handles well (I am not sure of the exact suspension spec), wheel and seats easily adjustable, fog lamps, original alloys, very comfortable inside, electric mirrors, climate control, trip computer etc. I have replaced the single CD radio with a CD changer model I already had.
I didnt really know what I was getting, it just looked a very good buy and so it turned out. I can't see i'll have a reason to change it soon.

i dont have one but God, this car is the real sleeper.
i think it has the ARL engine code and when remapped is capable of 200 bhp plus cupra scary torque figures.
spec wise, it should be similar to the Toledo sport petrol of the same year.
please, dont ever compare it with the 110bhp toledo.

 

[WeeJase]

this is what i am weighing up.buy a 110 for next to bugger all money,and choon it a bit,or spent money i haven't got bucket loads of, on a 150.
and the 110(non pd) will be a bit happier with me putting cooking oil in it

 

[SHADY-NINJA]

the 150bhp also fall in the lower tax bracket for emmissions hence cheaper road tax.

If you're struggling to find 150's - why not look at 130's instead, they were sold for much longer?

 

[cordobabrendy]

I was going to say a 130 if its available, remap = 160 safely and stick a set of cupra alloys onto it, colour code the rubstrips and your done.

But I think the PD150 will have leather alcantara seats? or leather & cruise, bigger wheels & the bodykit

PD130 will still be a nice car, and better specced than the Equivlent Leon PD130 'SE' I think they were.

 

[maccyn]

Mine has leather steering wheel, but not elsewhere, no cruise control. Maybe there was another edition (SE?) with these.

not seen one with leather,nor would i want them.the cupra style seats are what i would prefer,as apposed to the arm chair ones in the SE etc,they just look unsupportive and van like.
not that many 130's about at the moment,seen one,but was put off by its stick on fuel filler cap and fox alloys
still thinking a 110 will be the best option,but i know i'll end up playing with

110 will be prime for veggie oil.. Cordy used to sup on up to 3/4 mix of veggie oil to derv in the summer

thats what i was thinking,might even invest in a heater for winter.and as i understand it,the rules have changed for paying duty.read it somewhere the other day(briskoda iirc)quite a lot of oil can be used before paying duty on it.
