Definitely facelift, ideally I'd like an estate but I don't think that's going to be feasible. like for like it seems to be a 4k premium and I'm struggling to justify that when the saloon will do just as well. I'm discounting anything that's obviously rough or has been tuned, preferably buying from a dealer for some level of guarantee.
I've lined up half a dozen candidates; 2013-2015, 50-90k miles, from standard spec to loaded with distronic and dynamic seats. A couple of them look super clean and one of those is a 1 owner from new.

- The age range should all be the newer camchain if I'm not mistaken?
- How effective are the vented seats? I'm not expecting super chilled given it uses fans rather than a peltier, but is it enough to help avoid a sticky back on summer drives?
- I'm wavering over the distronic/driver assist option. Not sure how much I'll use it, but am also wondering if it were to fail is it a showstopper (i.e. the car is unusable until you sort it/won't pass an MoT?)
- Any other pointers to be aware of?
