Kia Cee'd 2016 vs Seat Leon

[hydrostatik]

No problem. Sure sounds like SE is better for you. Just be sure to specify parking sensors if required as they are not standard on SE.

I went for FR with the 2.0 TDI 184 engine.

Which engine are you going for? Also which colour?

So I have the Tech Pack and Full Link.

Full Link only gives the ability to connect your phone to the car and use Apple Car Play or the Android alternative. It is a separate £150 option.

Navi system high actually includes Tech Pack as well as adding a bunch of other connectivity options. Navi system high doesn't however include Full Link.

So either you go with standard Navi with tech pack and buy full link or you go with navi high and buy full link.

I'm assuming you are in UK by the way. If not then things may be different for you.

In addition to the parking sensors already mentioned, the FR comes dual climate control, and in my opinion a nicer interior (including part leather seats). It was these 2 items that persuaded me, even though I'm not after a particularly sporty ride. Admittedly I didn't test drive an SE, but the FR was comfortable enough for me.

You also get rear tinted windows on the FR - I'm not so keen on these usually, but considering the other reasons for having an FR I decided I would be OK with that.

I just can't wait for it to arrive now - especially seeing how good yours looks in Alor Blue hydrostatik!

Coool!
If you aren't into sporty driving then go for the SE. The ride will be much smoother for you.

I'm talking from experience however I only picked mine up last Friday. Loving it so far though

I really like the way back bumper looks in FR trim and I feel I can not just let it go! as I said sporty driving is not that important for me though having it wouldn't bother me. The only thing thats stops me for going for FR is am I going to loose smooth driving, even in Normal Mode as soomth driving is important for me?

btw, I'm from Finland and thanks already for your response.

Ok so the FR looks way better, agreed.

What engine are you thinking of? There are technically 2 versions of the FR dependant on which engine you choose. More powerful engines have different suspension setups.

Honestly I didn't drive the SE and I have the more powerful Diesel engine with the suspension and I also went for the 18" wheels and yet the car still glides along the road.

If you like the FR then go for it!!

I'm picking 1.4 TSI 125ps
Do you you think they would have different suspension?

 

[hydrostatik]

Cool ok, why not the 1.4 Eco TSI 150? From what I hear that engine is much better in terms of economy and performance and is also much newer than the 1.4 125ps.

Either one of those in an FR trim will give you the 'basic' sport suspension.

When you move up to the 1.8 TSI or the more powerful 2.0 diesel this when you get the 'advanced' suspension.

Nice car the Kia, but don't they generally have poorer economy and emissions?

Only cause Seat and VW fiddle the figures!!

I don't think a really keen driver would go for the Kia, because the handling is not quite as sharp as the Leon.
