Have no doubt you've chosen a great car.

Got my 4x4 estate new in 2002 to replace my RS 4x4 Sierra Estate (V6) which drank fuel and was hopeless on annual ski trips due to low profile tyres - requiring snowchains to maintain progress on even light snow in the Alps. By comparison the Octy screams down the autoroutes fully loaded with a roof box and uses half the fuel, is ignored ny the gendarmes and handles unsalted roads in Switzerland flawlessly. The only hassle is convincing the gendarmes that it is a 4x4 to avoid having to put on snowchains (as I took the badges off to avoid drawing unwelcome attention).

Golf seats fit straight in, A nice set out of a mark 4 GTI will look good & give the side support that the Octy ones lack.

Hi, welcome to the forum. As Stuart says golf mk4 seats are a straight swap, if you look in my gallery you'll probably find some photo's of mine.
