Fast, Practical - Absolutely Gorgeous Seat Cupra 300 4 Drive

[Graham]

See the blog feature on this - I am a huge fan of estate cars – fast estate cars to be precise and SEAT have got the perfect answer with their new Leon ST CUPRA 300 4Drive.

I was fortunate enough to drive two models at the UK launch event around the Cotswold area a couple of months back, both of which are pictured – the blue car is a manual front-wheel-drive version with the red car being the model I wish to talk about in this article.

Still boring I see. Pity it still looks the same as the 2015/16 model. I mean, identical.

Holy crap... if I paid that sort of money and got a steering wheel that looked like it should be in Tonka toy I would be massively disappointed!

Steering wheel is actually nice in the flesh

It would have to be the 4WD DSG for me. Hate that horrible grey plastic behind rear number plate.

Quite a few ring' videos of the estates spanking around. They go well. Similar to the Golf-R estate afaik?

Underpinnings the same, 10HP less

Glad to see they've sorted out the ride height on the sporty models - the mk2 FRs and Cupra's always had stupid arch gap.

Bland interior but nice concept...way overpriced.... I'll stick with my VXR Insignia....had they used a bit of imagination o the interior I'd be up for the Seat a few years old at a sensible 2nd hand price

The new Ibiza actually has a much nicer interior now.

bare in mind that when i report on cars, i quote the RRP - OTR pricing. Most new car owners are not paying 10,20,30,40k they are paying 3,4,5,600/month

It is rare that anyone buying cash will actually ever pay anywhere near that in reality with most opting for 'in stock' pre-reg vehicles - as such second hand i am eager to see where these go

Great write up. 4wd is all they needed to be a great all rounder. I love our 290 black edt estate and for £220 a month all in its hard to find anything that can match it for the money.

I love fast estates too but for me you cant beat the low, wide tyre'd look of the BMW and Mercedes estates. I hate cars in this country which are so low the suspension doesn't work anymore but this car needs lowered and needs fatter tyres in my opinion.
