I can't stand the look of the mk2 Leon! Looks like a bloated pig  :undecided:
I love the mk1 Leon though. If I didn't have the Golf I'd have one  :tongue:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

All Seats are budget interiors, the Altea i test drove for 30 Yards was enough for me a while back :smiley:

Its a shame, they go like stink but its why you pay 3 grand less then a vw for one.

LOL! I'd say the mk5 Golf is a budget interior, compared to previous generations of Golfs! squeaks and rattles anyone? looks like they (VW) are addressing it though with the mk6 interior.
Going back to the Seat discussion, Mk1 LCR was basically an Audi S3 dash, so how is that budget?

MK1 Leon wasnt too bad - well the LCR model, Mk2 interior is what put me off buying one, steering wheel has a nice feel to it and the seats were great ( in the Cupra).

I wouldnt say the mk5 golf is worse than the mk4 though

Ditto what everyone says. The dash on the Seat is truly rubbish, one reason why i payed that bit more to get the GTI. Good spec car the Leon Cupra. Good brakes and at that time xenons were included. Only options i remembered needing were the satnav and ipod connection, but they had no candy white at the time  :sad:
Even the skoda Octavia Vrs, costing under £16k has a nicer interior than the Seat, anyone notice?

agree about the Skoda Octavia VRS. Interior is alot nicer and build quality is very good.Good family car if you need bigger space then a golf.
