Looks like these have big tuning capabilities until you want to go big turbo...

That's the exact same thing I said when I first saw the seat. Very disappointed in the looks of it. I so wanted it to be a bit more aggressive looking as standard.

The external looks of both work for me but despite being a previous cupra owner I cannot get my head around how all seat dashs and instrument panels look... There's something not quite right about how steeply angled they are... Might be on my own with this opinion though?

the grey leon at goodwood just didn't seem that special and I'm sure the price tag was around£30K, probably all options, but for a seat.......

OOOOOHHHH BADGE SNOB ALERT

(although I do agree to a certain extent. RRP of the Golf R is only 2-3k more and it'll hold its value better!)

Doesnt surprise me...

Its annoying that they do all the testing on the most boring part of the circuit.

Sugs up there ^^^^ best looking golf they have made in years for me.

Leon's always feel a bit tacky inside I think.

Even if it's a tiny bit faster on a track I'd still take the golf.
