Customer Reviews of the Cupra Leon Hatchback

I love my vehicle

Overall, I am very pleased with my choice of car. Since taking possession, I have had an issue with the electric sunroof (temperamental opening and closing), together with another recall. Luckily, the servicing facilities provided by Vospers Cupra in Exeter, have resolved these issues with minimal fuss. They also provided a complimentary vehicle whilst the work was carried out. Performance is on the upper limits of a front wheel drive car. 245 BHP result in the car being a bit twitchy if road conditions are slightly damp. That said the car is great fun to drive. The handling provided by my previous Seat Leon Cupra ST300 was far superior. Build quality on the Cupra Leon and the technology is a vastly superior to the Seat. Overall, the car has met my expectations, but with the benefit of hindsight, I would probably chose the 4 wheel drive estate.

the voice recognition comes on all the time when you are having a conversation

Lots of issues with the electronic/computer system in the car. Messages regularly popping up saying things aren't working or available.

Infotainment absolutely rubbish. The heater controls don’t illuminate (how did that even get into production??), regular warnings that then go away so you end up in a “cry wolf” situation where if you had a real warning, you’d ignore it because all the others have been false. Infotainment takes an age to boot up and has had many glitches. Adaptive Cruise Control that then decides it is left hand drive and won’t let you overtake. A car with many faults that are mostly based around the infotainment. A quick car that is nice to drive and very comfortable.

Good performance and handling, let down by hard uncomfortable suspension and overly loud exhaust
