Faults:

Intermittent wipers did not work due to the wrong circuit being put in.

Right car horn stiff so re-fitted.

Small scratch on drivers door on collection.

Main problem is a dreadful creaking noise over the passenger side rear wheel arch. The car has been at the garage for over 2 weeks now, the problem is attributed to a broken weld spot where 3 pieces of the car overlap.

General Comments:

Judging from other comments looks like Volkswagen need to improve the assembly quality.

Car drives wonderfully and is very comfortable. The leather seats and electrics are worth the extra money.

The whole car has a good quality look and feel to it.

Particularly good sound proofing.

Excellent for steady commuting or a bit of fun.

Cannot comment on reliability at this stage, but expect it to be good once initial problems sorted out.

So far with a bit of pushing the dealer has tried hard to sort out the problems. I have insisted on a few extras as compensation and they have obliged me.

Faults:

I have just taken delivery of my Seat

Leon Cupra and have done 300 miles in one week.

My previous car was a VW Golf VR6 Highline which I thought would be impossible to beat.

I have only used upto 3000 revs as it is running in. It is just superb and very quick with fantastic roadholding.

It knock the VR6 silly.

The design is also excellent. The ride in spite of it being a sports car is very smooth mostly.

The Hi Fi is good and I cannot wait until it is run in.

I have also had a Porsche 944 Turbo SE and I like this little car as much. It is really exciting.

General Comments:

At present cannot fault it.
