"With its stylish looks and practical interior, the SEAT Leon ST is a great small family estate car." 
Авто/Мото
At the start of the clip she described it as a "small family estate" then complained that the boot wasn't big enough. This car is for somebody who likes a hatchback but could do with a bit more room in the back. If you want bigger boot, go for a large estate, like an Octavia. You cant criticize this car for suiting its intended role.
I have a seat leon 1.2 tsi and im very impressed with build quality and interior
SEAT has reached a great DNA for their exterior design. I saw one of these the other day and I actually had to look twice. I live in Berlin and I see plenty of nice cars around. So well I like this SEAT design.
I've got one of these...2.0 diesel version.......best car I've owned for a long time...excellent all rounder
Still gorgeous.
And the car looks fine too.

"Let's not get excited"? I LOVE estate cars, they're the most practical cars on the planet. You can't do nearly as much with a hatchback. Ask me, I've owned both.
Just out of curiosity, if anyone has any good reasons (apart from having a bigger boot, or badge, or more softer materials on the dash) to buy the Octavia estate or the Golf estate, than please tell me because I can't think of any rational reasons you would choose the blander, more expensive and heavier in house rivals than this. I personally wouldn't even look at the Golf or Octavia estate after the Leon ST.
Totally agree.
ACS607 If I'm honest I would rather a Golf over a Leon hatchback as I prefer the styling - but in terms of value for money. Seat 5/5.
Resale value? Try sell a Seat after 3 or 4 years and your wallet will cry
fabian78 What a load of bollocks.
Yeah, she rates the Octavia, but try get a good looking model for same price. The Octavia Sport is hardly sporty looking, and the VRS is £££££ more
Estate cars are super practical, love them. I wish the Leon ST was sold in Mexico, besides the HB and SC
Actually when it comes to boot it is huge in fact. It shouldn't be a letdown. Just look, new Skoda Octavia is so long that it is close to being c onsidered a higher segment ( 4,66 metres length) while Seat has 4,54m and only 23 litres less of bootspace.( 587 l vs 610 l). If I was reviewing here, I would he for Seat since I drive Ford Focus estate which is almost the same length as Seat while Octavia is considerably longer. I am still a newbie in driving so length matters to me :)
I love this car for its LED headlamps, thanks for giving me some more reasons Rebecca :)
2023 n still a nice car
I saw Rebbeca in Reading two weeks ago in her white Mercedes C class coupe blearing music very loud and powering down St.John's Hill.
For what is actually a budget VW, the exterior is quite good. Skoda's always look dull as hell, apealing to lawner men and geography teachers, but Seat manages to give their cars something striking.
The interior is allright I guess. The look and layout reminds me a bit of a 10 year old Volkswagen, but if it was good enough back then, it should be now as well. ;)
Could be you are right. I am no that familiar with the Golf 7 interior. I do remember the Golf 5 interior quite well, thus that would imply VW's their dash has not evolved that much since then.
It is far from a bad dash, though it does look a bit dull and over economic to me by todays standards.
FrightfulAccountant
That would imply you like the opposite of ergonomic, and that correlates perfectly with today interior style direction that everyone gushes about in pictures (Hyundai, Opel, Ford...). Because they are anything but ergonomic and a pain to use, just look good in pictures.
Ah, once you know the layout of your dash, it does not matter it is not 100% ergonomic :p
FrightfulAccountant No, but when it is placed solely to support the design decision, like the Ford Fiesta dash like a mobile, then it is less than 50% ergonomic and that makes a huge difference.
Firs drive when you juggle mobile phone, navigation, someone calling and you searching for a document while smoking and trying to lower or direct the aircon away from your face on 4 vents... and that is almost every situation when working... yeah, it makes a lot of difference.
Yeah the Fiesta is a bit of an example of a very bad dash (I would not say it looks all that good either, my guess it will look dated sooner then many can guess)... Brings us a bit back to some bad 80s Alfa Romeo dashes that featured AC & ventilition control bottons like the one on the remote of a stereo, the buttons for the windows intigrated in the rooflinings and the boot release hidden in the glove box. :p
I am more like: VW controls are great, but maybe a bit dull. If you could return 10% of the ergonomics and get 20% more wow, it would be great deal.
I think both the new Mazda 3 and the Honda Civic do well in this class when it comes to dash layout. I looks futurisic, but still familiar.
Inside the VW group, the small but magnificant VW UP did it good as well, it is even one of the funniest subcompact cars to be in and it did not need any touchscreen stuff!
How much smaller is the boot compared to VW/Skoda? You say its smaller, but how much? Numbers would help to make the difference really.
Some advices about your logo Carbuyer:
1- Increase Transparancy in videos
2- Try to make it look less like the Facebook logo to avoid lawsuits
LOL
Passion Pit - Carried Away playing in the car! Great song! :D
Charming lady, fair and nice review. Thanks !
what is 'estate'? is that just the british term for a wagon or is there some other difference?
Correct!
That door seal behind your head does not look right!!
This is the baddest door seal in a brand new car I've ever seen. This is why I ordered two months ago Mercedes C200. No surprises, except the price :(
wonderful great car & great presentation
Very stylish car. Better than Golf and Focus. Mechanically i could't say the same . Build quality and materials are not very good. Front seats are good.
Beautiful
I like the New SEAT Leon ST but I also like its two rivals the Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf
Not really rivals when they are from the same manufacturer...
How much more does it weight when compared to normal seat leon?
have you reviewed M5 F10? I haven't seen it..
I agree with the VW golf comparison but it is essentially the same car.
Altough you have different styling it is the same technology engine-wise...
If you take a look at seat vs volkswagen cars, they are essentially the same most of the time especially the MPV's, however, the VW logo puts on about 2000€ more...
0:29 listen to that! True quality door sound LOL!
That's what I thought first hearing it, but then remembered myself at the dealer doing it and of course it is solid as it should be. She must had keys in the door pocket...
Please do a review of the Tesla model s
they will not do it, because if they do it they will never able to speak good things about the i3 and the new e-golf...
Muito interessante. Que bom seria se a Seat voltasse ao mercado brasileiro.
getting 58.9 mpg on a 250 mile run 1.6 tdi
Did you hear the rattle as she closed the driver door!? o_o
Still pretty car!
she had some kind of stuff on the door
Boot space in liters?
why don't you do the Alfa Romeo 4C?
Lol. I always click on these videos because of the sexy nymph in the thumbnail.
En SEAT fabricamos coches en regimen de semi-esclavitud, por 660€/mes.
The colour tone of the video changed!
New subaru impreza sti?
CARBUYER? Do a review of the new suv Suzuki !!?
1.6 tdi, my favourite peugeot
85 mpg my ass ;) This engine must be a blast :D
Sam sults there not in USA there in England
Omds if the rumours are true about carbuyer are sponsored by VW group, id stop taking their advice -.- lol i wonder why they hardly rate bmw n mercs highly n we all know Matt loves bmws!
Damn the British accent sounds so nice
"the entry level 1.2"?? How can these engines cope with added weight of modern cars? when I purchased a new A3 sportback I tried to choose an engine, but national dealer said "only thing available is 1.6, and if you want 1.8 you´ll have to pay...way more!" Damn car´s motor worked like an ass, 35oo rpm on fifth gear, two valves per cylinder, no economy whatsoever. Even a 2.0 S40 did better in economy figures. So I don´t get how smaller engines do better in fuel economy nowadays.
Why can't we get those cars that do70mpg in the usa
Imperial gallons are larger than US gallons and their test loops are more sedate than EPA tests. Ours are actually more similar to how people actually drive. They regulate emissions (focus more on CO2) and formulate their fuel differently (the UK doesn't have an ethanol mandate and they use less additives). That means their fuel is purer and more energy dense than ours. UK mpg numbers aren't comparable to US mpg.
Nice looking car, but it doesnt come to Oz :(
I love Passion Pit :P
85mpg how much is it in l/100km
1 Mile = 1.6Km. 85 Miles X 1.6Km = 136Km. You usually learn this at school.
Carl Jude but that gives you 136km per gallon, not the l/km.
The magic number is 235.
235 / mpg = l/km and 235 / l/km = mpg
It's 3.3 L/100km or 30 km/L or 70.7 mpg(US)
Carl Jude a lot of non-english people watch this channel
chnn92 fuk....70mpgUS is awesome but, the US gov wouldn't allow it, the more fuel a car consumes the more tax dollars the gov will receive from gas being sold so, that's a no-no or they could raise the fuel tax but, the people won't allow that so, we get no super fuel efficient cars!
Octarrrrvia?
Gorgeous estate, it's just a bit overpriced in my opinion.
close looks of Kia Forte
Carbuyer Sponsored by The Volkswagen Group!!!
and Hyundai too!!
Well least Hyundai is reliable. ;)
Vagbuyer ;)
Why would anyone take Skoda over Seat? Seats look WAY better than dull and ugly Skodas.
It's a bit bland in the styling department, is it not?
Are we seeing the same car? What other estate in the same class looks as good as this.
ACS607 Mazda 6 Tourer, which is allegedly in 'about' the same class. Go and take a look for yourself. Bit dearer, but looks £20000 dearer.
MegaVector2011 How is Mazda 6 tourer in the same class? Mazda 3 tourer would be the same class. And it would never drive as good as a Leon, and that is what I'm looking for.
And BTW, as I can see, it is the cheapest 4x4 'normal' car you can buy.
bmw 2 series please
In this video am only watching this girl. She had better thighs when she had no gap between her legs.
Honestly Rebecca is too cute. forget the cars lol.
"now the time has come to moan..." mmmm... "about the leon ST"...Damn.
So... This is considered a stylish car???...
Honest I think mazda 6 estate much much better choice ...
Rather have the Exeo meself,this is a bit too small
There ya go,never knew that,old A4 platform has
less boot space than a new Leon,i stand corrected sir
Where the hell do you buy cars like this in United States?
***** damn it
Is it the Jetta wagon ,you know?
keko738 well you see there are hardly any cars sold here that give such high mpg and in every video, all the cars give outstanding fuel efficiency.
***** Actually SEAT sells cars also in Mexico and China for example (:
Sam Sult Well, keep in mind that the US gallon is quite smaller than the UK's. Also, the measurement system (the tests that car manufacturers have to make to ensure the mpg) is quite different in Europe. To put an example, I drive a Civic 8th gen 2.2 CDTi, which had an official consumption of 44.38 mpg (US gallons), but I usually achieve only about 39.87 mpg (US gallons) with a good mix of town, b-road and motorway and my foot being quite gentle on the throotle. In the US, I'm pretty sure the official number would be much closer to the actual consumption you can do.
Epic car, don't moan!!!
Must... concentrate...on the...car...
the current generation of cars is quite boring. the 2007-2011 was alot better. except of Astra and the new A-Classe, they're all very unappealing...
Beautiful Girl
Glory to God
Better off with the Mazda 6 estate
Small car🤣😀????
I miss good reviews from carbuyer , this is just known facts added together, boring and also lacks information about seat VW roots and how this car is superb in therms of what seat used to be. Bad video!
The Octavia is really horrid
Isn't it a leon fr? Not st lol
K
Civic Tourer trumps it!
It's not st it's rf get it wright
that cheap interior! OMFG
Even Dacia is better then this crap
I saw Rebbeca in Reading two weeks ago in her white Mercedes C class coupe blearing music very loud and powering down St.John's Hill.
lol, I'm sure she wanted everyone to know that!. oh well i guess if you're going to draw attention to yourself then you deserve it!
You see the thing is I really did see her and I am not trying to draw attention to myself.
Ronald Croos He was saying Rebecca was drawing attention to herself, not you...
