Left the car today and they called me to inform me it was a thermostat that failed and will be replaced under warranty. I didn’t have the chance to ask details and I’ll get the car next week so will know better.

Since I bought an Ateca, I hadn't driven my Leon SC FR 1.8 TSI for a month or so. Started it yesterday, all was OK, I've driven it for 30 minutes then parked it. Then started it again and after 5 minutes of driving the exhaust system warning light appeared on the dashboard similar to this: It...

According to the owners manual, Traffic Assist is for highways only and it’s an extension of ACC that can fully stop the car and then accelerate again. And they strongly advise against using it in city driving. Based on that I decided it’s not worth it but might be wrong. My understanding is ACC...

Seems I am decided on DSG too. Will sleep it over and will go ordering tomorrow. So far the final spec is: XCellence 1.4 TSI DSG 4Drive in Samoa Orange, XCellence package (panoramic roof, SEAT Sound, machined 18"-s 36/2), 360-deg cameras, Park Assist, ACC, Blind spot + Rear cross alerts, Full...

Yep, I've actually decided already that I will order XCellence instead of FR and it will be in Samoa Orange instead of Velvet Red :) Reason being that Velvet Red is not exactly what we like, we checked this color today in a Skoda dealership, which makes us want the Samoa Orange, however not sure...

I was told my FR would come with KESSY as standard. That’s even in my order. Then they checked again and apologized it’s not actually standard. But it seems I’m better off without it so seems I was lucky :)

Keeping velvet red on order for now.

I'm still thinking whether I should change the order to the Samoa Orange instead. My wife was the driving force behind the choice of Velvet Red, however on Internet pictures it's too difficult to know whether it looks the same way in flesh. And there's a Samoa Orange Ateca in the showroom that...

On seat.com for Arona, the design page, there are color names, it's desire red, not velvet, so must be different. I believe velvet red is a Skoda color, it's available on Kodiaq so I'll go to a Skoda showroom to check

Thanks for the opinion Mark, sounds promising regarding the ride and the passenger space. I was afraid about the ride quality but also coming from 5 (almost) hot hatches before that I really need no sacrifices on the handling so Ateca sounds like a nice middle ground.

Exactly my speculative theory I've expressed on the other forum :) So glad to hear that for you! Hopefully I will have the same good luck. They told me I was the first customer to order a FR in Bulgaria :D

What's with this other forum? I've seen more activity there compared to here and thought I should probably move there as well... ;) Owners split ways? Arguments? Scandals? :D Will I be banned if I mention one forum in the other? :)

The pictures didn't seem to appear here on the forum but I was able to copy and paste the address in another browser's tab to see your Lava Blue Ateca. Very nice one! Considering it's the free color for the FR it's a great deal but I've gone with the Velvet Red which is really nice but I am...

I have leather seats in my Leon which I kind of regret since I am a vegetarian, but they told me most of it is artificial leather anyway. It came with heating so is OK in the winter but we've got some serious heats lastly and it gets nasty and sweaty easily. On the other hand seems very...

You need to edit the poll options :) Just ordered an Ateca FR 1.4 TSI 4Drive manual in Velvet Red :funk: Added 360-degree cameras, Park Assist with all-side sensors, Full Link, Adaptive Cruise Control. FR comes as standard with Full LED lights (including cornering fog lights), 18"...

I knew it I should have discussed the color with the missus rather than asking people on the Internet :D Showed her different colors of the Ateca and she said I MUST order the red color! She offered to pay the color herself if that's what's stopping me and anything but red is totally...

I am almost about to order an Ateca FR and I really like the red color as in the promotional materials but also on a very tight budget. Seems in some countries (Germany for instance) the Lava Blue is the default free color for the FR-s (compared to Mediterranean Blue for other modifications). I...

Thanks mate, that was really helpful! As for the monochrome display, I meant the display between the speedometer and tachometer. In Bulgaria SEAT cars with no satnav (media only) come with a monochrome display. I've seen a coworker with a monochrome in his Leon and it looked a bit low-res and...

After we've recently got a baby, I am considering upgrading my Leon SC FR since it's a major pain in the ass with the two doors, plus the ride is kind of harsh. Not in a real hurry but should definitely do that. My eyes are currently on the Ateca FR 1.4 TSI 4DRIVE manual and I've prepared an...

Absolutely! It was jut my heart's opinion but that doesn't make it a universal truth. Other people's hearts might say its the Cupra ST that is their dream machine and that makes a perfect sense!
