Sorry for the late reply! The dealer (newbie staff I presume!) made a slight error with the quote but was not far off. I should've signed there and then!

Anyways, things have changed and I will be saying goodbye to the Leon.
I've enjoyed the car but there has been many faults with the car. The last straw was when the power steering jammed upon reverse parking! I was nearly stuck until I pushed the park assist button then it freed up!

I went to the dealer with the problem and was asked "could you video it?"

The usual SEAT response, eh guys!

I've had the heating/AC unit replaced, injectors replaced, mirror replaced, plenty of rattles and two unknown warning lights reset without explanation..

Not to good for a 2014 car which has less than 22k on the clock.

Another few things have started to go wrong aswell.

The high level brake light has had few 'cells' faill, the boot struts no longer work and the media system has a mind if it's own in the mornings!

I'll miss the car (not the depreciation though, even for a 184 DSG)

I hope they up the game soon, I was so disheartened that we cancelled our Ateca order and I'm now in the process of trying to get a half decent trade in for a IS300h.

It's a decent car and I'll never look to put anybody off the Leon but hopefully mine was just a bit of a duffer!
