The boot lip doesn't look too bad at least not on the silvery one I saw in the dealers, suspect it might depend on the color.
SEAT sound is awesome, I have it on my FR.
OP, what is the load area like? Does it have the raised floor with a cubby underneath you get in the octavia? If not whats the load area like with the seats folded down?

I too think the SEAT Sound is excellent, soo glad I ordered it. I only have the volume turned up to just over 1/3 and it's loud enough for me. Good clear sound with punchy bass, you won't regret it
My new FR has SEAT Sound it's very good as AJ says 1/3 is plenty with clear sound and punchy bass really like it.
Hi and welcome to the forum. If you are getting the tech pack, which gives you navigation or media plus system upgrade then you should get both the iPod & USB MDI cables, that's what I received when collecting the car, both cables were in the glovebox.

nice one wasn't an option I specified but already in a high spec car I ordered haven't even seen it yet its still with Seat Uk but seems I wont be disappointed
I would be interested to read anybodys thoughts on the handling of the FR ST with the 184psi Diesel.
When I ordered mine at the start of Feb I test drove a 150psi FR ST which, as I understand it, has a different suspension configuration at the back. Just wondered how the different suspension would affect the ride quality / handling?
My Exeo ST (Sport Tech) has a very harsh ride (to the point where I am not sure there is something wrong with it). It also suffers from "castellated" tyres which i was told by the local dealer was down to stif suspension and hard compound tyres on an estate with a light back end. Just hoping that the Leon ST does not suffer any of these issues.

Could be wrong, but sure I read somewhere that 150ps upwards get the multi-link rear?
I believe you are correct, however, the brochure is far from clear...
Rear suspension - Semi-rigid rear axle with coil springs and hydraulic dampers (engines 140PS and below) / Multi-link rear axle with coil springs and hydraulic dampers (engines 180PS and above);
19mm diameter anti-roll bar on 184PS engine
So these differences obviously are there to improve the handling, but do they make the rear end feel harder over bumps or pot-holes?
This but backwards (I have a 150 and had a 184 for a few days). DCC on the golf does make quite a big difference, but I suppose it depends on whether they set it at hard & harder or medium & hard.
Full review coming soon. Here's a video of how easy it is to drop the seats via the boot. Did a run to the tip today. A real estate car test.

Yes has raised area. Plenty of space. Will have pictures in the review.
Not on the car I had I could see. But this is a press car.
Sounds great to me.
