2017 Leon!!!

Not necessarily.
Last year I got a call from the dealer saying my FR had arrived in the country and he would let me know when it was released for delivery, started to get very excited as you can imagine.
He then rang me the next day to say it was in port at Sheerness but mine was to be delivered to Port of Tyne! Had to wait for it to drop off in Sheerness then sail to Port of Tyne, this took a week.
Very frustrating.
I tried to take my mind off it when I was told. All I know is I'll get it before end if the month. Now I'm getting it in 2 days.

Oh.. I see...I'm guessing because I live in London (and Kent isn't too far), that was my port of call.
Me too, they said, that won't be possible, as we (not sure if they mean SEAT or DVLA) needs to register it, get the licence plate, insure it (1 yr free) then remove the 'transport mode' (eg...if you steal it, it tops out at only 20mph hee hee), prep the car, bla bla bla. Mine was 'delayed' 2-3 weeks because they stopped Alor Blue on Ibizas in Oct 2016, but I ordered mine in Aug, so they had to get the paint im guessing from Leon production line..
By the way my car had 'extreme' condensation in the headlamps for a week, maybe it wasn't used to English weather coming from sunny Barcelona or perhaps it was seasick for 1 week making the journey, or crying as it was homesick

20 weeks after ordering, I finally received my Leon today!
Gone from an Audi A5 Black Edition to Leon 1.4 TSI 150 5 door in monsoon grey with convenience and storage pack.
First impressions are very good, smooth drive yet powerful, sturdy, interior doesn't feel cheap at all.
Will try and get some pics up!

Hill assist only works above a certain gradient, I believe it is 3%, thought mine wasn't working at first. Have also read somewhere that this figure can be altered with obdeleven.
Ok thanks, although i have used it on gradients >3% and def not working. I'll have a play around and see. Cheers.
Was originally quoted end of May/mid June but slipped apparently due to shortage of the alloy wheels and the 1.4 engine. What colour did you go for? I've gone with Desire Red but haven't seen one in the flesh.
I went for Monsoon Grey. Desire Red is very nice! Saw it at my local dealer on a Leon.
Got my FR in mystery blue from the dealers 2 hours ago. Sad to say farewell to the 2014 emocion red FR, but hey, every cloud has a silver lining! Think I might go for another spin....
You have to turn it on with the button below the handbrake button, it has an 'a' on it or something like that. The led will light up on the button and then it'll work. Auto hold will hold the car indefinitely on any gradient with a firm push on the brake pedal, then simply drive away and it auto releases when your clutch is lifted slightly.
Great thanks. Any ideas about getting the side mirrors to lower when reversing?
Dealer told me to put the mirror adjustor on to "L" - but still not working..
