Picked up a new Leon this morning as a courtesey car. It's a 1.6 Stylance, in black, alloy wheels etc. Looks nice. Bit gutless compared to my LC, which is to be expected, but one thing I've noticed is that visibility is a bit poor. I'm 6ft 7 in my stockinged feet, and seeing anything on the near side is nigh on impossible. Because of the windscreen being so heavily raked, the rear view mirrow blocks out anything to the left of the bonnet, and the thick A-pillars block the rest out.
Are Seat planning on manufacturing a narrower rear view mirror, as I can see more than the rear window through the mirrow. Not sure what help being able to see the rear headrests actually is.......
Other than that, not bad. Feels a bit light and flimsy, but I'm used to the LC. No doubt if I drove an LCR that'd feel even more substantial than mine, but as courtesey cars go, good effort Coupers of St Albans!
