2017 Leon!!!

[Bri]

Been waiting for mine to come, it's on the Hoegh Kunsan arriving in Port of Tyne later on today apparently after bobbing around outside Zeebrugge for a couple of days because of Doris I guess.

Gone for 1.4 Eco TSI FR in Midnight Black, with convenience pack plus and 18's.

Hi Everyone, i just ordered a new leon facelift. 1.4 tsi 150 manual in Desire Red, Sunroof with led pack, Performance 18s and Convenience pack plus. The Desire red is very nice, hard to tell how nice it is in pictures. We went to two dealers in the manchester area and they both had the same spec demo cars. We are coming from a 2013 Leon 2.0 150 diesel and the 1.4 petrol is so quiet and smooth in comparison.
We have been told approx 14 weeks to arrive but i dont know if this was a figure off the top of their head! I will call them later in next week to try and get a more accurate date. Il try posting some pics of the demo car i drove yesterday.

A year in the VAG calendar is running from week 22 to week 21.

You sure thats not weeks 32 to 31..

i just received a call from the dealer saying they have a car in the same spec that we ordered in the uk so we wont have to wait until may. And the car also has the driver assistance pack that will be included free of charge if i was to accept this stock car. I said yes please! so should have it in 14 days max! Still cant post pics of the demo car i drove till i hit 15 posts

Good bit of luck there and extras for free! Was it a car already within the same franchise?

im not sure, all they said it was in the uk. Im guessing it may of been due to go out as a demo car as my local two dealers have identical demo cars in the same spec. I think the desire red is going to be quite popular. I think it is very nice in person. Ive never been a fan of red cars but i really like this colour

another bonus of getting the car early is i can get it taxed on the old ved rate. Meaning £30 a year vs the new rate of £140 a year. Am i correct with this?

Sweet deal !
But only if not an ex-Demo or pre-Owned car.
It looks like a stroke of luck - if all correct.

Yep you will qualify for £30 road tax.

It will be a bonus getting the car on the lower tax rate for sure

This is the car I demoed last weekend, and the exact same spec and colour as the one I have ordered. The colour is really nice in person. Hard to capture on camera as the colour came out completely different on my wife's phone. Never been a fan of red cars but this is nice. Can't wait!

Car does look good indeed, nice an tidy - so to speak.
I'm a fan of red, as driving Emo red, and this is very nice shade too.

The fog's are now same on FR or Cupra, or was an option ?
Roof partly wrapped ?

Hi the led fogs are standard on the fr trim. No its not wrapped.it's got a sunroof so the roof is black

Anyone seen a xcellence trim yet?

Great pics thanks for posting, was just looking at the new GTI think the Leon is better looking.

Desire red looks great!
Still not a fan of the facelift... HUGE front grill just does not flow and front bumper looks like it was a design stolen from Renault Clio mk4 GT...whole front end does not look as agressive as original 5F looks and same goes for rear.
Rims are boring AF...
from outside FL is a leap back in design.
Seat might be the only maker who first draws a very very nice lines and design...
few years later they make a facelift and it does not flow.
Original 1P was bold and agressive (FR/Cupra) and facelift front and mirrors destroyed that design totally.

Couldn't agree more

Me too.

I'd love to meet whoever it was at SEAT that decided using three different grille designs on each car was a good idea. I know they've done it for economy but It looks so awkward. I quite like the slimmer fogs, but the rest just spoils it, to my eye at least.

Quoting myself, but it's new car day tomorrow, going to Bristol Street Motors in Darlington tomorrow afternoon. Had been told delivery on the 1st so not too far off.
