Seat Leon Cupra Facelift full review: th-cam.com/video/6KkQPxaIvfY/w-d-xo.html
I´ve been for MANY years watching car and motocycle reviews on youtube. You are by far among the very best. Thanks for that. keep up the good work
+Andre Castro really appreciate that. Join us for more reviews !
Best Car Bewertungen auf TH-cam.Danke!
radu ardeleanu Danke auch =)
I thought the accent would annoy me but this review in all is very well thought and informative. And the accent actually fits well here. Keep up good work!
Very good review! Its probably the best I've seen on here. I just bought one recently and its exactly as you say.
Thanks, feel free to recommend!
Great review again. So much more detail than other reviews. I'm also pretty close to ordering the 1.8tsi FR ST.
stephen falkner thanks!
Very good and complète review as usual ! Thank You
ihcnarf Thank you very much!
Nice review. I'm waiting to receive my Seat Leon ST FR Dynamic. I will be getting the 1.4 TSI ACT with 150bhp and DSG. Can't wait!
Roy Debets sounds good! you gonna have a lot of fun :)
I'm 5 years too late but this video made me want one as I'm searching for my next trip car, I work 1 hour away from where I live so this seems to be a perfect compromise in cheaper but high quailty vehicles
Oh I'd love a 1.6 TDI dsg to replace my old Peugeot. Any videos please, I'd be very very happy. I enjoy your thorough reviews ☺️☺️
Useful review, thank you. Yesterday I ordered the Seat Leon ST 2.00 TDI (150) FR 4Drive - in France. Can't wait. Looked at the Golf, the A3, the Skoda Octavia Scout - and the Seat Leon ST. To my mind, the Seat Leon ST offers the perfect balance of fun and practicality - with a dose of flair thrown in. Good value, too. Its a personal thing, but I can't say I agree about DSG. I have always hated the slightly lurchy feel of an automatic. Perhaps I am old school - and prefer to throw the gears and be in complete control! I optioned the Panoramic sun roof and adaptive cruise control - both excellent additions, to my mind.
+Redronicholas Thanks for the feedback!
I just bought a second hand today. Can you give me a quick glance of how has it been with yours?
Greetings from Ireland Thomas. I have a 1.6 TDI st with dsg gearbox coming at the end of this week. I've never owned a brand new car so I am excited. Excellent review Thomas. Great that you support animal welfare too, and that no animal needlessly lost its life to make this vehicle. Such a stylish design too.
Awesome!
Any reviews of 1.6 TDI dsg? I'm after one of those in Ireland ☺️
Beautiful car
Nice review.. I like how u don't have to pay a lot like VW or Audi models. I think u should also do night time interior video.. Just to show how the inside looks like at night
lexusfan100 Hey, thank you very much. It was kinda already a little bit dark :)
thanks for another informative review. if the spy shots are anything to go by the ST in Cupra format should be quite fun :)
altern8ive Thanks! Indeed they will soon release the Cupra version of the ST !
sadly it won't come soon enough for me, i take ownership of a 5-door Cupra 280 at the end of next month. your review back in May assisted greatly in helping to make that choice instead of a Golf. thanks :)
altern8ive hehe, you're welcome :-) I am sure you will have a lot of fun with the car. As you picked the 5-door-version, you wont lack everyday usability.
i have owned 3-door cars for last 6 years, usability was a problem during a tour around France in August, not enough access. it's a pity you don't get any referral commission when you help people to purchase. i did test drive as well but it was not on my shortlist until after watching your review.
hello mr Thomas which car would you choose btwenn a ( 3.0 tdi 272ps A6) & ( 258ps 530xd) .... which is better?? and why??? which is more reliable !! & tnx soo much !! please answer me cause i want to take one of these and your opinion is soo useful and important for me . merci d'avance !
Looks Like a Nice vehicle ,to bad its not available in the US.
I would want to see reliability reports and MPG figures on the US cycle.The Blue looks Okay but would like to see a little darker blue shade . I agree with you on interesting rims/ wheels.
Thanks
Joe
TechExplorer Hey Joe, yeah Seat is only focussing on Europe atm and I dont think this will change. Volkswagen first has to fix the issues with the US market for the VW brand itself.
I have seen Seat in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, etc.
In the United States I have seen some Seat's , but I think they are purchased in Mexico .
Nice review, really helped me with my decision. I ordered one already (FR 2.0 TDI 150) :) , but I got a reply that DCC and 4drive (Seat now offers 4drive also on FR version) don't mix. What is your opinion, should I go for 4drive or DCC? Is 4drive harder for long rides? Thank you for your answer.
divkodivko DCC and AWD dont mix? Interesting, I ll ask when I got the chance if that has any reason. But you dont really need the DCC, the normal suspension is also just fine
Apart from VW & Skoda, according to you, what other competitors does this Leon ST have? Thanks and congratulations for this complete review
Ignasi Melià Thanks! Well, bascially it is the compact estate segment, so you could also take Honda Civic Tourer, Opel Astra Tourer, Ford Focus Turnier etc
Seat leon ☺
Hello i'm thinking of buying Seat Leon st 2.0 (150) FR. A few friends told me that Seat used to have problems with the car electronics. Now I'm kinda worried. Do you know if Seat fixed the problem ?
P.S.: best reviews by far. Your review was the biggest selling point when I got my Škoda Rapid spaceback. :)
+Ana Česnik thx, spread the word for us!
Hm I didnt hear from any special electronics problems with new seats yet
I'd pick the SEAT Leon ST 2.0T Xcellence Lux DSG.
@4:09 like your new hair colour there ;)
katharina cameo ;-)
Is this comparable to the Skoda Octavia Combi (Estate/Station Wagon)?
Zachary Ong Hey Zachary, yes indeed, I also mentioned this quite at the beginning. The Seat Leon ST and the Volkswagen Golf Variant are both slightly above 4,50 m long, the Skoda Octavia Combi is about 15 cm longer. The Skoda vehicles are always between the Volkswagen car classes in length, so the Octavia is between Golf and Passat, the Superb is between Passat and Phaeton etc. The Skoda Octavia is however at the same base price as the Seat Leon!
You did? I must be deaf! Great review as always, Thomas.
what is the name of a this blue color?
it's very nice...
This is the standard colour this car comes in. Mediterraean Blue.
Hi all. I have just ordered the 1.4 excellence estate. But I am torn over the Fr? The problem is I have not seen either car in the flesh and have basically ordered blind!
+Matty Sykes both nice
Hi thanks for the reply. I trust the brand that's why I went ahead without having seen the the car, but did do some research. I would like to see a video that could show me the excellence model next to the Fr? I wanted all the bells and whistles but If I wanted the Fr I would have to give up certain things? Is the difference mainly cosmetic?
all the reviews seem to be Fr
+Matty Sykes we have several leon reviews!
so this car would be around Audi A3 sportsback size ? or a little bigger ?
thanks
a little longer overhang
@@autogefuehl but it's built on the vw Passat A4 floor pan ? so quite a bit bigger ?
MQB, the transverse building platform like Golf, A3 etc.
How would you rate this against the OctaviavRS 180 d?
I am testing both the vRS 180d and 220 petrol tomorrow. And if I favour the 180d version, I'm going to then bring this ST FR 180 into consideration I think. It's price if favorable to the Octavia vrs especially when you see it adds more kit.
Decision decisions.....
+Stephen Butler seen our octavia reviews?
I have yes I was watching hinge them a couple of days ago, after I booked the back to back test drives of the two vRS. Today I drive bast the seat dealership and they pointed out the leon st FR was close to the diesel vrs estate.
Ive done a little research (google), and I think the price defence favours the leon, but I don't want to compromise too much.
The move form the petrol vrs to the diesel is one I could probably stomach, given the extra mpg, want I don't know is if there is much between the leon ST FR 180d and the vRS 180d.
This naming lark gets confusing quick.
Thanks for the response. And keep the reviews coming. A UK viewer.
Octavia when you need more space, Leon when you want it sportier und more dramatic in styling
***** intesting. by more sporty, do you just mean in looks, or does the leon st handle a bit better?
Personally I like the exterior of the Octavia better. The interior looks very similar both being VAG cars.
And aging thanks for your input.
***** thanks for your input. I tested the diesel (180) first, and was underwhelmed, it's by no means slow, but offered about the same acceleration as my GTC 165, but was bumpier yet less sporty that the gtc.
The petrol 220, was a differnt beast, very quick, but same mid range (give or take) , but again bumpy and less sporty than the gtc. But what a sound it makes 💞
I then took the Leon ST FR (184) out, and that "felt" quicker than the VRS diesel, wasn't as bumpy and more sporty, not as sporty as the gtc, but this is an estate and not a coupé, so I wasn't expecting miracles.
So the Leon ST FR risen above the Octavia on the list. I was very impressed at the overall package, and it sounds better than the vRS 180. like for like the Leon is about £1500 cheaper, I'd go entry FR with android auto, maybe 19",but doubtful.
Though I still prefer the looks of the Octavia vRS estate, over the Leon ST FR. But not enough to make me choose the vRS.
This blue colour? Which one is it
MEDITERRANEO BLUE
or
MYSTERY BLUE
Thanks
Mediterraneo.
Mystery is darker and more expressive, it is in this video: th-cam.com/video/_9-ScSBaIls/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Lovely review, very useful, encouraged me to test-drive it at the store next weekend
Welke kleur blauw is dit?
Rob Bolster het should be Apolo blauw
Headlamps look like Audi A7 headlamps!!! You agree?
Well Audi and Seat are all under Volkswagen so the people that design the cars are probably all linked in some way
Thao Nguyen Indeed very similar!
i like ur videos very much Thomas, but i dont like blue cars
no problem =)
Must be a Sunday. There is absolutely no one to be seen.
Man, you are cute.
Poor man's Audi.
hässliche farbe
