I got the car on Friday - Leon ST FR 2.0 TSI DSG. Coming from Skoda Octavia 3 I have to say:
I prefer Leon's stability
Engine is better of course compared to 1.5 TSI
Don't like the brakes but i am sure they will settle after 1000km
I feel it smaller in every aspect - interior, hight.
Boot space says 620l BUT in Octavia 3 Liftback 8 was arranging more luggage for sure !!
Roof touchscreen for roof, light, SOS etc today was unresponsive so I have closed from the key ?!
Better isolation
I hear some cracking noises from the interior which concerns me a bit.
Will see after some time if we het used to with each other

I recently got my driving license at 35 back in december, I have never really had a need for it in the past, I still don't *need* it, but as I am a bit of a hobby photographer, it sure does help getting to places, fast and easily.
I just bought my first car, and at 35 I was able to get a lightly used 2021 Seat Leon 1.4-litre eHybrid TSI 204PS PHEV (DSG) (sub 16000km), including excellent studded winter tires for a reasonable price.

Great colour! An easy way to upgrade the mk4 seat would be to use mk4 Cupra parts following the Cupra facelift?
No pics yet as it's late, but just picked up our new León Sportstourer 1.5 eTSI 150 CV DSG FR Eco. Bit of a mouthful and the insurers couldn't find the exact trim.
We wanted a car fast and stock was low, so we reserved one about to go into fabrication. This meant no options. Not exactly keen on the Azul Fiord (really a matt grey), but colour wasn't a priority this time, and it has a lot of toys anyway.
I just let it hurt itself at a wall in self-park mode; bit scary...

I am now awaiting the delivery of my new car as I have exchanged my Leon FR XL 1.5 manual for the 1.5-litre 4-cylinder eTSI 150PS (MHEV) (DSG) FR Special Edition Sportstourer automatic.
Not sure how much difference I will find in the performance of the car, but apart from still stalling my current car (I really do not understand why I stall this car so much as I was a driving instructor in London years ago and an advance driver badge holder), but this car I stall often. I guess modern car engines don't allow drivers to drive but they drive the car for you, hence changing to an automatic.

It looks nice but how does it drive? I am awaiting the delivery of my one due next week and am coming from the Leon 1.5 FR XL manual to the automatic
For every day driving you won’t miss the 1.5 manual. I made the same switch 4 years ago and still enjoy driving, albeit from the 1.4 manual to the 2.0 auto. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Hi there. Got my 75-plated 1.5 eTSI 7DSG running for 5 weeks, a bit disappointed to the gearbox so far as it is not as smooth and quiet as many had said. I came from an old A4 with Multitronic (steelbelt CVT) + 160hp, silky smooth and quite responsive while overtaking in A roads. Had tried a 6DSG 2 months earlier (Golf 8.5 PHEV eHybrid, 1 week rental in the Scottish Highlands), same disappointment for the gearbox as my new Leon....
