That does look awesome.

Muffin` · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:01

really suits the grey, not covered in chrome too which is a bonus

NathWraith · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:41

That ST is very understated, which makes a nice change!

Cosimo · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:12

The ST does look very good.

Is the interior exactly the same in the facelift?

Princey · 12 Dec 2011 at 14:04

Slightly revised with better quality materials.

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 14:15

Do like the facelift ST, looks so much better than the previous version.

The centre console is slightly different, and also the dials too. Other than that I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for all the comments, grey was chosen as it's my favourite colour for a car. And I was after the understated look to my ST. I didn't want it to stand out like the white/orange/blue ones that everyone has...

After posting these pictures, I'm tempted to keep her and spend some money on her instead of selling which was the plan I had!!!!

Clio looks awesome, shame about the pea shooter exhausts

daveski · 12 Dec 2011 at 18:30

Good spec 197 that. I love those seats.

Skillmister · 12 Dec 2011 at 18:35

Awesome clio!

I haven't added to this in years so try and hide your excitement for the beast that is this:

Had it a year now. Perfect for its needs for a family of three

They are awkward to get into with the high bolster but very comfortable. I am about to have the front & back redone in black / silver leather, expensive but I think it will be worth it.

Here is my white chariot, 105 fine spanish stallions deployed via the actually pretty good 1.2 TSI engine.

Got this car whilst the Ibiza is in to be fixed *sigh*.

Interior quality is worse than the Ibiza which is surprising considering it is the "higher" model than the Ibiza but then I realised the Leon is based on the MK5 Golf which got a bit of flack for poorer interior quality.

The 1.2 TSI is pretty nippy on this and the 6 speed box is nice and notchy, feels weird coming from DSG though! It does have stop/start which is irritating

Nice and comfy to cruise in. Although it returned 39MPG back from Manchester to Stoke which isn't a good as expected, considering the combined figure is 52MPG! The Ibiza Cupra gets 40MPG on a run!

It's a lot nicer than the VW fox I had earlier this year as a courtesy car lmao.

What's up with the Ibiza?

Misfiring

Had a right task of getting a courtesy car, no SEAT dealers within 30miles of me had any courtesy cars available and just wanted me to drive my car as is (broken) until they got a car in which would mean I would have to wait 3 weeks.

Wasn't happy with that so pushed for a car and the dealers were useless, brand new car only 1 month old and they couldn't be bothered to fork out for a hire car.

So basically I rung Manchester SEAT and they got my car booked in and gave me a courtesy car no problem.

The fact is, why should I have to travel 1 hour to Manchester and sacrifice work time because my local dealers can't be bothered?!
