WITH another family holiday and various test cars, I haven’t spent as much time behind the wheel of the SEAT as I’d have liked in the last month.

Still, when I have, I’m impressed at how quickly and easily I’ve felt at home in the Leon’s logically designed and well-made interior.

With the seasons changing, I’ve been more grateful for features, such as the optional heated seats, that obviously haven’t seen much use throughout the summer.

The interior of the Leon is wearing well too. Despite the best efforts of my one year old daughter, so far the light-coloured trim has remained stain-free despite long trips.

In fact, after a recent clean and Hoover, I think it could pass as almost factory fresh.

I know I’ve moaned about the Leon’s optional sat-nav in past reports, but I’m not too proud to admit that it got me out of a tight spot last month.
