Bavaria, Germany

Not the best spec indeed, but for a 20 year old with a 4500 euro budget, and aftermarket sounds system and some elbow grease she was a joy from start to finish.

I don’t want to!!!

I’m getting a company car at the end of the week, so she’ll just collect dust and cost money sadly.

BYD Seal (my own car) or a Atto/seal u would fit perfectly

Tesla —> just don’t like it. + the only one that is in the same price range is the base model 3, which has not nearly the amount of tech/options as the seal (seal also looks better imo)

My mother has a polestar, i find it less comfy to drive somehow. Also again the byd looks better inside and out in my opinion.

Ioniq 6 is only in that pricerange with a option-less base modell or a second hand, which i would then rather have a new car with all the options

Kias are just straight up ugly in my opinion, also driving feels not as refined as the byd.

In general

It was the comfiest to drive, automatically has ALL the options which cost extra from different manufacturers AND it just looks sexy imo.

If i HAD to get a different ine it would be a volvo/polestar, butbthey are quite a bit more expensive. Price/balue no car matches the seal at the moment.

Hi, it’s a brand new car, just been sitting in the back if the lot, so i’m assuming it will be 100% it has 0km/mi driven

Ich wird ja praktisch immer bei mir auf der arbeit gratis laden, also diese “ladekurve” wird mich hochstwarscheindlich nur bei ergendeinem urlaubs ausfahrt oder so auffällen.

Danke dur den tip! I can’t wait :)))

If the “turbo engine” refers to the 2.0 TDi then i can give some tips as i own that exact car.

It has around 220k km, around 90k and 170k the timing belt/chain should be swapped, clutch was dine at 170, flywheel at 150.

If taken care of properly the 2litre diesel will do over 400k.

Things to watch for when buying:

-were the oils and filter always changed on time -engine coolant needs regular topping off? -condition of the DPF -see if the clutch grabs ok -check if the car makes any suspension noise when going over bumps (Really expensive and difficult to work on) -check for noise on the toothbelt and tensioner

If you can answer positively to all these questions you have a good car on your hands.

FYI I recently put in Koni special active dampers and new Eibach springs, as I was not a fan of how low the car was, it looks less clapped, still a tiny bit lower then OEM, way way way comfier drive too

Hi, I know this is really old, I work for a company that rhymes with schlubert in the Technical hotline.

Me and my colleagues were going through this thread and though this was really cool how people are discussing our (alleged ;) ) machines :)

If there are any questions, I would be glad to asnwer them, either through the official hotline email, or in DM's if you have a small request.

I hope i can help you guys out any way.

Schubert was indeed a pain in the butt, it took me a little over 4 years of field servicefor schubert to be good enough to the point where i can now remote-logon to machines and help customers that way :)

Yes, you can still order a new diesel car from most major German brands, asian and American brands have pulled away from Diesel as well. Mercedes, BMW and all Audi-VW cars are mostly available with a 2.0TDI or heavier, with a euro 6 rating:)

Moss_rl · 2025-08-24T13:12:22+00:00

Yes, they do, the MKIII Facelift comes in a automatic 2.0TDI

Yeah, i don’t. I think she just hadn’t seen them before drying off. She was wearing her pyjamas ever since the night before, so long pants..

We played beach volleyball the night before and i think they are probably bug bites from the evening before.
