  • New Arona – but somewhat disappointed by the media system

    Hello together, since yesterday the new Arona FR Beats is at the door and I am generally absolutely happy with the car. Unfortunately, one thing I don’t like so much: I have dealt with the media system a little bit today. Then the disillusionment came quickly. I had an Arona as a rental car the day before yesterday, before I picked up mine. The rental car had 2 SD-snacks, a CD-drive and a Navi, where the card looked high quality and just like a card. In my Arona I am now reminded of Android more than of a chic and modern media system, I can still hurt – but that you have saved the card slots, annoyed me a bit. Especially since the seller has still praised me with the “current software”. And I can’t see an advantage of saving for the customer even with the best will. My question is now primarily the following: Has someone tried to use the USB-C inputs a Me dium? Generally, there are adapters for SD cards on USB-C for a small appearance. Then at least a little help would be given to me and I could use the SD card as a medium for music again. AND: I have already read here that an eSim is installed in the vehicle. I was told during the sale that this service is free of charge. What does it cost from the 2nd year? Or otherwise asked: What can the media system NOT do more if I go to the service after the end of the year? s free time? Thanks already in advance 🙂

  • Seat Arona 03/2020 – Airbag light is always on, workshop has no solution idea

    Hello, my mother has had an Arona since March 2020. Great car! For about 3 months, however, already the 5th time that the airbag lamp concerns. Local workshop has no solution. 1. Visit what was done (what it was not known) – day later : lamp lights up 2. Visit, again what done, during the WEGFAHREN from the workshop yard : lamp on! 3. Visit, meanwhile the vehicle was parked at the workshop 5 weeks (against car rental), control unit allegedly defective, should be exchanged, was not 4th visit, after about 1-2 weeks again lamp on, brought there – 2 days later picked up: lamp lights up again after about 100 meters 5th visit: stands tomorrow, Seat is already integrated, it seems nobody knows what it could be. Workshop has no idea.. Does someone have such similar experiences here? How should you deal with such things? We are perplexed, my mother has already no desire for the car, and nobody currently has a solution. Change/return from the private leasing contract mögli ch? Looking forward to feedback. Thank you!

  • Cupra Leon e-Hybrid 204 PS purchase recommendation?

    Hello dear forum, I am standing in front of my first car purchase and I find the Cupra Leon e-Hybrid very appealing. I do NOT mean the ST, which is too big for me personally. The 245 hp variant would be too much for me and would only increase the price unnecessary. I would like to hear your opinion about the car and also an assessment of the price. I have already researched a little and there are apparently only a few annual cars which is probably due to the fact that it is only produced very recently? I’m also interested in whether the promotion is already included in the stated prices for car providers? Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything about this either, as an example: https://www.autoweller.de/…/…eon-14-e-hybrid-sportshell seats?… I get ~16% new car discount via a car dealership. What would a new 204 PS Cupra Leon at a price of about 30 000 correspond to. Actually, I think that there is something needed for under 30 000? Unfortunately, I don’t find anything. e me already for your opinion/ advice. Greetings!

  • Change of model year 2022

    Hi together, I would like to order a Seat Leon Sportstourer. Yesterday I received an offer from the dealer which is valid for 7 days. Now I have heard that the model year change is supposed to take place in KW22. That means even if I order now, I definitely get an MJ2022 vehicle. Now a few questions: – does it make sense to wait 2-3 weeks? – is there information about what changes with MJ2022? – are there any new options in the configurator? – did you already have ma l observes that prices have increased with a new model year? – if I order now, can I still adjust my order in 2-3 weeks if there are actually new interesting options in the configurator? Questions about questions… Looking forward to your feedback!

  • Set LED headlights

    Moin, moin, I bought my Leon 5f used in the summer. Now that I often drive in the dark I find the LED headlights only life-threatening. The road is illuminated wide and also bright. But the light cone ends felt 20 meters in front of the car. Land road in the dark is pure luck, more than 60 kmh require courage. An LWR is not available. Apparently the setting of the LED headlights is one thing no one likes. Independent of the official n version, can’t I “higher” the headlight on the adjustment screws? A sensor can only adjust on the basis of a basic setting. The sensor can’t know how far the headlight is shining… What do you think?

  • Seat comfort Leather sports seats Seat Leon ST FR – too hard

    Hi Bin for 3 days proud owner of a Seat Leon ST 2.0 TSI FR. As far as satisfied, except with the comfort of the seats. They are leather sports seats in black with red seams. The seats are basically ok, however after about an hour driving I have slight pain in the area upper thighs / popo. lumbar vertebra support is set approximately to the middle. I sit correctly at my discretion (rather upright, legs not too strongly angled, arms not too strongly stretched) . I’m 190cm tall and rougher (so little self-padded upholstery) The seat support seems to me to be very hard padded, in addition to the rather hard chassis (currently 17 inches with winter tires). Now I’m thinking about how to get the cover a little softer: What do you think?

  • Dead angle mirror inside or outside?

    Hello, where do you stick dead angle mirrors to, inside or outside in the mirror? Are there specific pros or cons? I recently had the unpleasant experience at the motorway driveway in the dark that I almost missed a car right next to me at the shoulder view. There may also have been a role for the factory’s somewhat tinted rear windows. Anyway, I hope that such small glue helpers will bring something.

  • Your opinion. LEON TDI 130PS buy?

    Hello SEAT driver! I’m thinking of getting a LEON Pulso PD TDI 130PS for my 100hp PD Golf IV soon.

Thank you for your answers Pilot111

  • Leon or Golf V

    Hello together, I decided to buy a new car now. I’m actually a VW driver since before and before. However, the picture of Leon Topsport is getting wider and wider in my head! I’m more and more enthusiastic about Leon, since now, however, the Golf V is out. Do I get into a swing again. What do you think? Is it better to give the golf time to “be grown-up” first? What does it look like with the Leon? Does he already have his childhood diseases behind him? iden Report on experiences and opinions. Thank you and greeting Micka
