AZURES3 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Is it just me or does the EXEO look like a nice car and a great price. Take the B7 Audi A4 put a new nose on it, some would say a nicer one, install the A4 Cab dashboard, update the engines to the latest technology and offer some new innovative features. All starting at £17,700 before a probable £1000 discount. New Exeo -> Gallery Have to say if I needed an A4 but couldn't quite stretch the £'s this would be my next choice.

cruiser647 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah, looks fine to me, and B7 was a good looking car anyway. A good cheap way to move into that segment, and for badge snobs not wanting a Skoda nor a Korean offering but still ignorant to the fact about the VAG group! Where's Geoff?

shark_90 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wouldn't you just buy a second hand A4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wouldn't you just buy a second hand A4? Only if you don't mind not having somewhere for your left foot. Do they do quattro and/or an estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wouldn't you just buy a second hand A4? I am not so keen on the B8 A4, sure it will grow on me but it just looks a bit baggy front and back. The reviews sound good. Seat Exeo Saloon Car Review - What Car?

shark_90 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I meant a second hand B7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Its got a Jaquar-esque front end thing going on, but besides that, looks pretty good and superb value, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 At 12 months old, that would be a steal, I bet Audi aren't too happy with VW HQ for giving this to Seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 They're recycling a 10 year old model, I'm sure Audi don't give two hoots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I always thought it was good to keep old models if you can make them cheap enough around. In Japan you can still get the Accord estate that was phased out in the mid 1990s. Its a cheap relaible load lugger! I think if the price is right the Exeo might sell, or it might just turn out like Superb, great second hand barge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 We're still buying these - As they are infinitely more reliable than the mk2 and dead cheap, not sure where they build them now, but they build them for the taxi trade and to sell in less well off countries.

shark_90 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've seen a couple of Mk1 Octavias on new plates and wondered where they had come from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 In The Sun (looks away) at the back they were adversiting old shape Superbs Ambients, 1.9TDi a choice of three colours on 58 plates deliver miles only for about 10K about a week back. I liked the old ones, esp. the VRS as they were more restrained looking then are now and so u can suprise them in your Skoda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Doesn't work for me, I'd sooner buy something more modern than a badly facelifted old Audi. If Veedub are so desperate to keep this model in production, how about making it in Africa Pug 504 style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I guess they are trying to quickly turnaround the major error they made a few years ago when they updated the Toledo from a normal saloon to an ugly minibus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
