SEAT Leon Review (2020)

[pepsimax73]

Issue is it's not really an "infotainment" system but a linked control mechanism for many of the cars functions. I was trying to set the limiter other day as it knocked it off for some reason and it really is the ergonomic equivalent of a sponge made out of custard. After I'd faffed around setting the multiple options required to get it working the car decides to reset the dashboard view to default. In my old one series BMW you pressed the limiter button, that's it..

I actually believe a digital setup can work if done correctly but this slightly dangerous convoluted mess of a control system isn't the way to do it. Apart from that in these crazy days of second hand cars costing more then new one's on finance I ended up with a MK4 Cupra 300, I don't think it's worth anywhere near 38K though (fortunately I didn't pay that much) and in some ways I agree it's a downgrade from the MK3.

I think most complaints will be about the touchscreen and why put the heating/aircon on it if it goes blank which happened to me you have no way to turn on or off the heating.

Things that affect your driving are far more important, the air con can be set up before hand and then it just requires a swipe of your finger at the bottom of the console. I don't touch the LCD to modify / change the AC, if the system goes blank that's a technical fault and I'd be taking it straight into the Cupra / Seat dealers to fix.

Voice control is a joke, just not a very funny one.

Yeah you can set the aircon up beforehand but I live in Scotland you've got the aircon turned off because the sun's out then it starts chucking it down and you've no way to clear the windows. I had reported the screen had went black the earliest that a dealer could look at the car was 6 weeks later.
Voice control ha try and get it to work with a scottish accent

I'm not sure about the Seat Leon but in the Cupra there's buttons to clear the front and back windows on the light switch panel I wasn't aware of this until a mate of mine pointed it out.

There is on the Leon too. It's on the lighting control panel
