    I have only owned one car, my current 2021 Seat Leon hatchback PHEV.

    Out of all the cars I have driven (four, a 2014 VW Golf, a 2020 VW Golf, a 2016 Volvo V90 PHEV and my Seat) the Seat is my favourite.

    The Golf’s I’ve driven were either loaned from my driving school or used at my first driving test and my dad has the Volvo, but I have the Seat.

    I really like the styling of my Seat, it looks cool, and a bit agressive without being overbaering.

    The performance is good enough for me, if a bit lacking in power above 100kmh, it is very quick between 10 and 50, launches are fun with the electrical system engaged.

    As a first car, it is fantastic, though I am 35 and bought it this year.

      I really wish more European manufacturers would sell cars in North America. Much more interesting selection…

        Hehe, Seat is actually winding down, the brand will cease to exist in a a few years.

        But as it is a WAG brand I am not worried about spares or servicing.

        Cupra, Seat’s racing division is the new Seat brand, it is a bit too much of a lifestyle brand, with an edgy logo, I like it when it had a copper colored Seat logo as it’s logo, that was cool.

        But eh, when I need a new car in many years hopefully, I will look at Cupras range.

        The Seat Leon is basically just a Golf in a new design.
