Gonna resurrect this thread rather than start another, as I'm roughly 100 miles in, too. A few foibles that I've noticed so far, some of which may have a workaround?
The stop/start - when I pull up on my driveway the engine does its cutting out thing when I've come to a stop, as it should. I then put the gear selector in P and the engine starts up again. Is this because I'm not putting the handbrake on first perhaps?
Rear parking sensors turn off the radio when I select reverse.
The doors only have 2 open positions, fully open and not open enough to get in and out! Another one in the middle would have been nice, señor SEAT.
Anyway onto the likes:
It's bloody quick! Think I prefer the gearbox in D, as in S it seems to stay in 4th once you've hit a steady 60 mph, rather than be smart enough to realise that's as quick as you'll be travelling. I leave it in D, flick to S if I want to accelerate past something quickly and then another flick back to D once that's over.
Headlights. I'm not convinced they're quite as bright as the xenons I've had on my previous cars, but the colour is great, as is the spread of light. Had a play with the main beam and convinced myself that it has a different beam pattern to the momentary flash, but I may be imagining that? Also like the DRLs, but would like the rears to be on as well...
Toys. Lots of gizmos and gadgets to play with, my favourite being the DIS between the dials. I've not had much of a play yet, as I'm still getting to grips with the gearbox, but the amount of info that can be displayed on the ickle screen is brilliant.
