2003 Seat Leon Cupra review from UK and Ireland
"Awful car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking door seals
Chipped paintwork
Misty headlights
New Gearbox required
3 new Coils
Poor starting
Poor performance
Dreadful economy
Rattle from glovebox and rear seat
Poor front tyre wear.
General comments?
An awful car, bought to save money, but it spent more time at the dealers than it did on the road. "Taxi!"
You name it, it went wrong. First and last Seat. A heap of junk. Never again. It's a poor handling car too, but that's due to lousy design not poor build quality I guess.
I visited a couple of funny Seat owner web sites too - and I don't mean "Funny Ha Ha".
Back to Subaru in 3 weeks. At least they're reliable, fast and fun!
