It got delivered at work yesterday morning with 9 miles on the clock, shining like a beauty ready to go. So i had to pary it 6 mtrs away and wait all day to drive it and i was just watching it all day through the window :cry:

Still haven't been able to drive it much so im hanging on for the weekend so i can take it to the beach etc :lol:

So far i'm over the moon with it, its better than i anticipated, so smooth to drive, very pokey indeed (Especially for a diesel!) The seats surround you, holding you in position. Been having a play with all the gadgets and Bluetooth etc, love the way you just say the number aloud and it calls it. I thought u had to scroll through contacts. VERY glad i went for the 18"s, they come highly recommended, 17"s would bring the whole image down whereas 18" look beefy. Everywhere i've driven it people stare as they drive past. I gave it some beans for the first 50 miles as recommended on here but was quite hard as most was on the motorway home. The power band is perfect for all kinds of driving, you can drive so relaxed and still get all the power down, also on the motorway max torque is right there without having to shift down from 6th.

Ill stop nattering now but i'm so chuffed with my choice i could go on all night.

Here are some very quick pics that really dont justify the car! so ill take some Proper ones later on this week and get them up.

Just want to thank you lads on here for all the helpful info essentially making me get the car, keep it coming :)

These are the seats i got -
SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20interior.jpg


Which i believe are not the new shape?

Just spent the day going to the beach and driving around. The more i drive it the more i find things out, only just managed to bring up on the Display where you change the Light/Mirror/Convenience Settings which is cool! I think im also addicted to cruise control!

Bravely let my gf drive it home and she also loves it, though doesnt understand how cruise control works =/ Not once has she said about the hard ride which can only be a good thing! Local dealer called today to let me know my door sills and Protection Kit have arrived so ill be getting them fitted asap also. Thanks for your comments!
