The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
Got mine today.
First impressions are good. I was worried it might feel a bit sluggish coming from a 510hp Jag but I'm really quite surprised, I've not been giving it death but it's really punchy.
Looks great in grey, wheels look great and it has turned a few heads.
Mine's a manual, having had loads of auto saloons i fancied the change. This was the right choice, just suits the car so well I can't imagine a dsg adding anything to the experience.
Fastish motorway journey home has averaged 38mpg too. All round happy.

It's a completely standard car, in hindsight I should have specced keyless but tbh I generally don't see the value in options..
Mine's on Continental 5P, they weren't my first choice as I know they wear really quick but there's decent rim protection and they grip well wet or dry. They're also the AO (Audi Specific) tyre which I suppose sort of makes sense being VAG. A quick look online shows they're available for £135 each which is substantially cheaper than the £165 for the non specific 5P which is good as I can see it going through them!
Really chuffed it's got the rear spoiler fins, makes the back end look loads better.

I thought about the keyless as well, Mrs had it on her yards as a standard feature so put me off paying for it!
Stupid question, do you have to use the key for the ignition? My BMW is keyless entry, but as long as it's in the car I can start it with a button push.

I-Phone dosn't support wireless charging, you have to plug an adapter in.

Latest Samsung phones support it, being Qi-enabled .
If it's registered before tomorrow it is £185 per year, from tomorrow onwards it's £500 for the first year and then £140 in subsequent years. By the eighth year both systems will have cost the same and after that the new scheme is cheaper.

What makes you think it won't connect via Bluetooth?
Extract from brochure:
BEING CONNECTED OR NOT DEPENDS ON YOU.
The new SEAT Leon offers an 8 inch high resolution screen so you can control everything at a single glance. With Full Link technology you will be able to see the contents of your smartphone and enjoy your apps while driving. The Connectivity Hub with Wireless Charger* ensure that your phone will never be short of energy. Charge it without using a cable by just placing it on the surface whenever you want.
My Golf has App connect. You can use the phone via bluetooth and stream music. App connect requires a cable, so if you wish to use sat nav etc you will need to plugin. I assume that the leon is the same.
On the golf, vw did a really poor job of app connect. For example the steering wheel buttons dont work in the same way as the bluetooth which makes it a really poor upgrade. Shame really.

As a tyre wear marker, my 290 BE in Monsoon grey has shaved off half the tread in the 5P fronts since last October – I only managed ~3.5k on them before swapping front to rear.
My other car (Megane 225) managed 15k on the fronts with Michelin PSS’s and that’s driven in the same way (making progress when safely possible but not titting about like an idiot!)
