    S3 Isofix Bracket Retro-fit????

    Hi mate, Mines an X reg (2000) and has the isofix as brackets as standard using them to fit a Recaro Young Profi Plus baby seat. I must admit I thought they were standard in the S3 (I will probably be proved wrong though). I know you can fit retro fit Isofix brackets into a VW Passat so...

    LCR vs S3

    I have an S3 was looking into buying a Cupra R due to a baby being on the way, got to test drive one - I found it did feel quicker than the S3 and was a lot more fun due to the torque steer. (Now idea what it would be like in the wet). The reason I never bought it the Seat dealership would...

    gears crunching goin into 3rd

    A question I never thought I would be asking...?

    Thanks for the comments. Andymac where could I purchase a gripper mat from ? As the Britax Cosy Tot baby seat doubles up as a baby carrier as well, was just going to buy the smallest fold away buggy possible. Saw one in the Mothercare catalog. Will sort this out over the next couple of months.
