I currently own a Toledo V5 and have been very happy with the car. However, I find the seats more 'sit on' than 'sit in' - not good for sporty driving!
I am now thinking of buying a Leon Cupra - Are the seats the same? If not, do they offer good levels of comfort as I drive 30k per year?
Any help appreciated.
Having owned 3 Nissan Primeras before my Leon SE TDi (same seats as 20VT/Cupra) I find it now where near as comfy as the Nissans, it doesn't give me the under leg support i had before due to my longer legs.
I also find that if i get the seat in the best position posible for me I cant see the gauges....Doh!!!
Having said that the Nissans seats were very supportive, but then i'm quite skinny too, my dad (who is bigger built) found them too tight.

Simon,
If you go for the leather option the Leon seats are virtually the same as the Toledo V5 except they are full leather and dont have the alcantara. They also have a bit more in the way of side bolstering so grip you a bit better.
Didn't think the standard cloth seats on the Leon were much cop on the one I test drove hence mines got leather in it. (ps I had a Toledo V5 before the Leon)

Imperial Blue Leon Cupra RSD soon to be!
I find the leather seats in our Leon are softer than the ones we had in the V5 Toledo (standard Alcantara jobs) - wife agrees and her arse is much bigger than mine http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/biggrin.gif
btw it's probbaly the best driving position I've ever had in a car
