@Exonian; agree on the BMW 1 Series interior.
I’ve not seen the TV advertising for the mk8 Golf yet. I have seen the Leon TV ad and agree it looks more appealing than the pictures and online video reviews I’ve seen of the Golf.
I think that Seat have picked the right colour in Desire Red for TV advertising, which seems to show the car off in its best light - most of the cars in online video reviews of the Leon have also been Desire Red too. Looking at the the colour options for Leon though (non metallic red or white and metallic blue, grey, black or white), the colour palette is pretty uninspiring.
