Hottest Seat ever??
Does anyone remember a Seat special back in the 90's. All I can remember is that it cost some ridiculous amount (40K), I can't for the life of me remember it's name and or find any pictures on it. Maybe I need to dig out all my old mags.....

I'm pretty sure it was an Ibiza cupra something (sport?) and definitely a hatch. I'll get to the bottom of this.

Some of the comments on here are unbelievable. Wake up, the price of new cars has gone up substantially, and £25k list for a Leon of this spec is very reasonable IMO, especially given it will be less after discounts.
You are correct. My sister-in-law was looking to buy a 118d. The list price is about £24K!!! I think the price is about right. Second hand values of cars in general also seem much higher that about a year agoganser said:

You are correct. My sister-in-law was looking to buy a 118d. The list price is about £24K!!! I really like it although i am slightly biased currently owning a mk1 Leon Cupra R. It might have slightly less BHP than expected but that lump will be hugely tuneable with its stronger internals than the current cupras and 300-360bhp will be easily and fairly cheaply available as it is with the lesser spec models. I do think that they could have gone a bit further with the exterior though and are they really white wheels? Id rather have the K1 kit and spec the twin exhausts. End of the day its similar to other hot hatch money, its a bit different and has that VAG group feel.
Not a fan of the looks compared to the LCR I used to have 
. Also this is too much £££.
A few years ago the SEATs were a good saving, had better kit and drove a lot better than the Golf GTI blobs of their era. Now they're pricing them too high and the Golf is better...the smart money must go on the Octavia VRS at the moment looking at the deals.

I couldn't agree more - it looks too beaky the golf or even scirocco would be better (built anyway) and I'd take the only slightly slower and massively cheaper Octavia vRS I'd also guess that parts on the Skoda will be much cheaper too if the old car is anything to go by.

Never have really liked the MK2 leon as looks too much like an MPV if you ask me. The MK1 LCR is still better looking.
There is so little difference between a FR, Cupra and LCR its madness for SEAT to just up the power and add a few trinkets to a cupra for that price.
Really is a shame as the old Leon was a performance bargain.

I've never really understood why people say the Leon looks like an MPV
It does look taller than most other hatches, although I don't think it looks like an MPV. I'm not sure if it IS actually taller, or whether it just looks that way because of how it's proportioned, etc.I think that gash thing down the side looks pants though
