Does the Exeo have a warning lamp on the instrument panel the same as the Leon does?

I went mad with my current Leon..... :) When you concider what the similar spec'd A4 would cost, £25K is a good price... This will be my 4th Seat since 2001, I cannot fault them...
Can't wait to get back home next weekend to get in and get it ordered..... :) then just need to wait for it to arrive, which the reckon will be end of September or early October :(
I am trying to find out the best SD cards to use in the SatNav for music, such as make, type, capacity and if possible what format do I save them as?
Stu
Good work :) The xenons on the Exeo are brilliant - esp on windy roads ;)

My Leon has xenons, but not the AFS versions, but they are excellent. I chose them after my last Leon Cupra, the headlmps on that were crap! so I needed somthing brighter.... especially living in the country..
Yeah they definitely help out in the sticks :)
My advice would be to avoid the sports suspension - only a personal choice though mind - I used to have an Ibiza 20vt and the sports suspension on the Exeo was much much harder than even that - nearly shook my teeth out! So opted for an SE Lux instead :)
Great car though - the seagulls love it too :-\

just out of interest, what would happen if it did not have a light for cruise control?
i guess its what you are used to and how you use cruice but i dont see a lack of a light being an issue.

45 year old and as excited as a kid at Christmas :) sad eh!
Can't wait..... want to get back home.... want to get the order in and deposit paid.... when will it be here....
More to the point I would like it registered before the end of September... I then get 3 years free servicing... Bonus! not that lucky....

Congratulations!
Hope to see some pictures here of your Exeo in September.
:clap:
Pity I have to wait until end September....
Yup, it takes a long time. It takes Seat 4 weeks to manufacture the car and 8 weeks to deliver it. The cars are transported by boat from Barcellona to all EU countries.

Looking forward to it already....
I had a demonstrator for most of yesterday, very nice to drive... the demo was a 143PS and went well.... so i expect the 170PS will be a lot better... very please with it.

Can I ask another stupid question.....
In both my Leon's you have the ability to disable the traction control/ESP by pressing a button on the console... can this be done in the Exeo?
I can't remember seeing anything in the demonstrator I had Saturday...
Stu
Well, fortunately it has. I must say that I was looking for it as well. I really had no clue that Exeo had it. Now that the new DPF system has come upon the Exeo, I think it is just a matter of time that the other cars will be forced to have a run behind their prices and features. I am also quite confident that if they can keep up at a steadfast state, they soon can build a hefty insurance for themselves!
I went mad with my current Leon..... :) When you concider what the similar spec'd A4 would cost, £25K is a good price...
Hate to shock ya mate for a similar spec A4 was £36,475 i nearly fell off me chair when the sales guy said that i said nah ya alrate ill go SEAT for half that price
