Hi all,
I am an about to be Arona owner, my decision to buy was influenced by some of the things I read here, so I thought I'd join up.

Hopefully I'll be picking up a new SE Tech 1.6 TDI tomorrow. On one hand I'm excited on the other anxious as it looks like being the worst weather for driving an unfamiliar car (forecast: freezing fog, snow later) and all the possible niggles that might occur with a new car.

Not new to SEAT - been driving an Inca van from new for the last 18 years - a solid if spartan ride with an excellent engine that still gives me 50 to the gallon. I'm hoping the Arona will be as trouble free as my beloved Inca.

Picked up today, first impressions are good.
No odd clunks or niggles (so far) and I'm enjoying it far more than I thought I would.
It drives really nicely and the engine seems to give good mileage straight out of the box.
Now I need to work out how to turn of all the tech I don't use

Glad your enjoying it, the wife loves hers and I enjoy driving it as well, we've also got a brand new Polo GTi plus as well and I don't mind which car I end up driving each day. Unfortunately some young lad ran into the back of the Arona over the weekend so it's had to in for a new rear bumper and possible replace the boot lid as well.
