In their own words

I owned the previous version of the Seat Leon in 1.5 150 FR trim.
It was excellent, and trouble free in 80,000 miles.
I have no reason to expect anything less this time.
But there is one bug bear.
The 'infotainment' system is distracting, slow, and because it replaces all buttons and everything goes through it, time consuming and dangerous to use whilst driving.
It really let's down a good car, and you should try it carefully before purchase.
The graphics are also not sharp enough.
I spoke with another Seat owner the other day and he was in fact trading in his new version for the previous one!

The second thing that is worrying is the 'lane assist' system.
It's quite simply dangerous and you should switch it off.
It must not be used in city or town, but on rural roads where speeds are higher, it takes you off course.
Why Seat devised such a system I don't know.
