Hmm, I searched a little in our reports, and actually it was said in the manufacturer's info that e.g. the Audi RS3 and the Jeep Renegade could do that (FWD basis, but with AWD up to 100 % to the rear)
I'm so satisfied of those reviews when Germans speak english so efficient and clean. Thanks Autogefül for that. BTW it's really distinctively in every detail.
I'd like to mention that I really appreciate the delicate music this channel chooses for their videos. Almost every other independent journalist seems to utilize seizure-inducing techno-something-rather music - so many thanks to Autogefühl.
Many Thanks Thomas - entertaining Review and video. Ice lake driving is great fun - this is just like that Tiguan ice lake and snow driving Review you did back in Feb 2016, which was a really great video too. Juha Kankkunen is a hero driver. Good luck with your 3008 Review, that you're probably doing right now, and people keep asking you for (not me, I'm happy with any of your Reviews)! You and your team are busy busy! Cheers.
This video made the wait for my 4drive Cupra alot longer! I cant wait to drive it in the Finnish winter myself. I hope you had a good time in Finland Thomas :)
I hope SEAT will launch more sporty and progressive new CUPRA models like this one from the new Ibiza and the Arona very soon 😍 The 4WD fits perfect to the estate 👍 Beautiful landscape ;) The music fits perfectly !
Great U to have a woolen/poliestr-hat on your head :) AJ should never again freeze when he is filming his winter shots :D ...and the cut-away mdel of a car! Man, that was what I enjoyed most! Plus other chat... Great one!
Great review as usual! Being from Norway, I love driving on frozen lakes. For your next review though, I have a challenge for you: You must use the word "squirrel" 3 times during your review! This is a proper challenge for any german :)
Great review, I really love how Thomas pays attention to the design of the car, the lines and explains what he likes/dislikes in a car. Earlier I thought that SEAT cars aren't that good with the low quality and high price. But I was wrong because now all the Leon and Cupra models seem an excellent deal for that money. Still, can you tell which one is better (considering the quality and price): Leon Cupra Vs Golf GTI and Leon Cupra Vs Golf R. Keep up the good work.
Well now, if the review is gonna be like that one from new GTI facelift with Thomas, simply amazing. Makes me wanna go to VW and get a big credit loan for GTI. But looking at the official prices of VW and SEAT, seat is cheaper. :-(
Thanks for the great review! What to do with my 2016 Cupra st 290... Unfortunately the performance pack does not seem to be an option in Finland anymore, really like those side skirts!
As I said on your previous review...what a car this new Seat is! It combines everything you could expect in a family and sport car in a non "premium" car. Performance package also makes the car better looking BUT semi-slicks are a downside to me. For a daily driving, specially in bad/winter conditions, 4 drive system should be more than an option unless you just drive this car to race or on weekends. Having said that, I bet this is definitely the new king of the ring!!!
mine are showing zero signs of wear after 2 years and they're easy to clean. the seat bolsters are not alcantara, they're 'leatherette' so do not get rubbed as you get in or out of the car
Awesome review once again! Interview with Juha was nice and it was great to see the maestro behind the wheel. Not a big fan of the car though, all the Seat's look so dull. Buying semi-slicks for a family estate sounds a bit funny to me :D And by the way, it's not mystery blue... it's Thomas blue.
love your reviews, so much content and so much quality. About the car it looks sporty, but I'm gonna buy the superb break I think, a bit more classier and the superb seems a bit more premium feel do you agree? Specially the LK version.
Thanks for your prompt reply, yeah it looked like quality stuff, GH5 is on my wish list, 4k in 60 frames plus in body stabilization, really hot features
Stacey Mitchell is there the possiblity that you can upload a short Video of the Car when you pick it up? Would love to se a regular ST in this colour. I'm thinking about changing my order and picking the blue.....
Herr Sheppard (?) mag Ingenieur bei Seat sein,aber eben auch ein Markenvertreter --> Bei geöffneter Haldex-Kupplung wird genauso viel Kraftstoff verbraucht wie bei geschlossener, denn dann wird das Hinterachsgetriebe/Hinterachsdifferential und ein Teil der Haldexkupplung durch die Hinterräder angetrieben. Auch Schleppmoment genannt.Reibung eben. Audi tüftelt momentan daran,das Hinterachsgetriebe von den hinteren Antriebswellen zu entkoppeln um das Hinterachsgetriebe/Hinterachsdifferential komplett vom Antriebsstrang bei Bedarf zu entkoppeln.Das spart dann wirklich unbekannte,einstellige Prozente an Kraftstoff.
I already have a Seat Leon ST FR on order, I can't wait! sadly couldn't afford to go for the cupra. Since the FR has a special exhaust, does it change the sound of the car? Or is it just visual? Again, not talking about the cupra, just the FR. Thanks!
Another great review does the seat now come with a heated windscreen and are the performance pack seats heated as well.Blue colour with black performance pack much more classy compared to garish orange performance pack.Loved the 4 wheel drift on ice made you look like a proper rally driver Thomas.
Seat Leon Cupra 300 is a good value car for what it offers but what did you do... 1) Seat Leon Cupra 300 for a good price ? Or New Audi RS3 for an expensive price... 2) Any idea of a seat Leon Cupra 300 R ?
What tyres were fitted to this for this test? Was it running the standard summer tyres or winter tyres? I watched this video while back, but only commenting now as i am about to get one in a week or so time.
@@autogefuehl thanks so much for the reply. I have a set of winter tyres so will be putting those on next winter! Its cool to see 4drive working well with winter tyres! Keep up the good work thomas
Hi Thomas, what is your opinion on the footrest position in seat, skoda or volkswagen? I have a 2015 octavia and I'm 6cm shorter than you and I sit almost at the lowest position and when I have the seat drivers seat near enough for the pedals, the footrest is really close and my left leg starts to ache after a while.
Hi Marko. I have a Golf 5 GTI DSG. I also find the footrest a little too close. I don't use it that much. I usually keep the left foot on the floor and only occasionally use the foot rest.
Keeping my foot on the floor could be the solution but then I also have to bend my leg very much. I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Also, the clutch pedal movement is reeeeaally long on the octavia. I'm used to pushing clutch all the way down even though it's not necessary and that also puts me in a awkward position
I really like Seat. I own a Cupra 290 5 doors myself. But I find it quite annoying that they issue a "new" version of their car every year. 280-290 and now 300 + 300 AWD. Quite frustrating I must say :)
Lux Gear that is the emotion they designed for you. Perhaps long term rental instead of buying is the answer. Btw. I know the feeling - our 184PS Alhambra arrived in August and already they offer a 4x4 version that was not available when we ordered
I currently own a Skoda Octavia VRS, which I guess is one of your favourites also - I just feel sorry we cannot get on the Octavia that same 4WD package on the petrol VRS, with the larger IS38 Turbo that is on the Cupra/Golf R
Pretty exterior color. You can definitely still see a little VW in it. From certain things. From the side profile it sort of looks like a Golf Alltrack. Did they model it after the Alltrack ? Would you say it has a little better build quality than the Golf Kombi or Alltrack ? Very nice car though.
this car is very interesting in aspect of design and performance, in terms of reliable I doubt a little, after having a Ibiza 6j and had to switch to a ceed GT...
Video where guy shows amazing car drifting on snow and ice got 100x less views then 360 camera in night video on low quality... thats why aliens do not talk with us
@@autogefuehl I am just shocked that this vide got less views compared to some popular nonsense found on youtube like the one with 360 camera under baby carriages or how women whispers... This is great video by the way, good job, no worries about my nonsense here :D
Ahh ok now I see =) Well, feel free to share m8, as word of mouth is what we are relying on. We are not selling cars and we dont have big corporation money, so passion is all we got!
Compare Seat Leon Cupra review road/racetrack: czcams.com/video/6KkQPxaIvfY/video.html
Autogefühl 50/50? I thought that Haldex 5th generation is able to transmit even 100% of drive into rear wheels... I'm really disappointed...
Haldex could never do that. I don't think any 4wd system can do that.
Hmm, I searched a little in our reports, and actually it was said in the manufacturer's info that e.g. the Audi RS3 and the Jeep Renegade could do that (FWD basis, but with AWD up to 100 % to the rear)
Megane RS 2017
I love how Seat become really cool in last 10 years
I'm so satisfied of those reviews when Germans speak english so efficient and clean. Thanks Autogefül for that. BTW it's really distinctively in every detail.
👌
I'd like to mention that I really appreciate the delicate music this channel chooses for their videos. Almost every other independent journalist seems to utilize seizure-inducing techno-something-rather music - so many thanks to Autogefühl.
thanks stick with us!
Best review for seat leon in the entire CZcams! Well done putting the time and this great vid!
thx pal =) Spread the word!

Thanks Thomas again! A great car and scenery. I'm so proud of my country and Juha Kankkunen. A very warm welcome to you and the Autogefühl crew!
kiitos!
man... you guys are on fire, review after review! way to go!!!
yeah!
classic!!
This video made the wait for my 4drive Cupra alot longer! I cant wait to drive it in the Finnish winter myself. I hope you had a good time in Finland Thomas :)
As you have seen, we had a great time on the lake (Y)
Good show Thomas! One of the most interesting reviews so far. That cutaway model was really cool and nice to see Juha Kankkunen spinning the Cupra ;)
sure was, thanks :)
Another great review! Thanks Thomas, you are doing such a good job. Love this Seat Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive. Hopefully my next car.
thanks Dimitar, enjoy !
👏👏👏Again another fantastic review very professional 👍👍👍KEEP IT UP👌👌👏👏👍👍
YIHA!
It's always such a pleasure to drive on a frozen lake. Especially in Lapland in the northern Finland. Thanks for your excellent videos.
thanks stick with us!
Fantastic review !
appreciated!
Great video Thomas!
Hey Dave, thank you and join us for more :)
The best place to drive - north Finland in winter. Speed limits - 100km/h on icy roads :)
Nice video ;)
thanks a lot buddy and it was total fun as you might have seen :D
This was not just car review, it was a driving lesson. Thank you! :)
Please share and recommend 😊
@@autogefuehl I already did recommend your channel. :) Also I just bought a bit old 2016 Cupra 290, your reviews made me appreciate the details! :)
A blue cupra heading for Sweden 💙 waiting waiting 🤗
congrats =)
got mine ....just amazing ...thanx for the advice
nice, have fun !
A great review. Thank you.
+Alan Ton :)
Finally someone opened main advantage of Golf R/Leon Cupra with Haldex. It amazing to drift on slippy surfaces. Like better than STI.
After nearly 6 months waiting, will get mine before the end of April. Same colour, but hatchback. Will be the fastest to 20 mph :))
Super Video with high Quality very nice. I have buyed a new Leon ST FR 1.8 TSI. Really cool car.
nice choice :)
On my next car list.
I hope SEAT will launch more sporty and progressive new CUPRA models like this one from the new Ibiza and the Arona very soon 😍 The 4WD fits perfect to the estate 👍
Beautiful landscape ;) The music fits perfectly !
thanks, you re welcome!
Doesn't this model have the TFSI 1l/1000km oil usage problem?
drifting in the snow, that looks like so much fun, i could do that all day.
hehe, we also remained one more hour on the ice track without filming it because it was so fun
Great U to have a woolen/poliestr-hat on your head :) AJ should never again freeze when he is filming his winter shots :D ...and the cut-away mdel of a car! Man, that was what I enjoyed most! Plus other chat... Great one!
enjoy =)
Great review as usual!
Being from Norway, I love driving on frozen lakes.
For your next review though, I have a challenge for you:
You must use the word "squirrel" 3 times during your review! This is a proper challenge for any german :)
oh, that's gonna be tricky :D

thanks pal! Look out for the Golf R facelift review in about a week!
Well now, if the review is gonna be like that one from new GTI facelift with Thomas, simply amazing. Makes me wanna go to VW and get a big credit loan for GTI. But looking at the official prices of VW and SEAT, seat is cheaper. :-(
what a great review! that dude has some serious driving skills. please, please, please the new 3008 next!!
thanks Alex! And indeed the 3008 just arrived at the office :)
Thanks for the great review!
What to do with my 2016 Cupra st 290... Unfortunately the performance pack does not seem to be an option in Finland anymore, really like those side skirts!
As I said on your previous review...what a car this new Seat is! It combines everything you could expect in a family and sport car in a non "premium" car.

ye indeed. U can also get performance pack without semi slicks though
amazing snow slides... but i really hope you do a 5d hatchback review of the cupra in asphalt 😁
Check video description and comment for our extensive road test!
Hatch in-depth review will follow this summer too
Nice Car and Nice Color
Hello. Can you tell me what the wheels are called that are fitted to this leon? Never seen these before
I am missing Manual gearbox with haldex and option for rear differential...
Hi thomas extraordinary review as always could it be possible if you could do a review of a Aston Martin DB11
czcams.com/video/1JMzCytcT4g/video.html
Great looking car and great review as always! Quick question, are the Alcantara seats easy to maintain and do they wear away easily? Thanks.
mine are showing zero signs of wear after 2 years and they're easy to clean. the seat bolsters are not alcantara, they're 'leatherette' so do not get rubbed as you get in or out of the car
Finde denn wagen sehr schön in dieser Farbe 🎨 😍👍
allerdings!

Yeah the Superb is a level above that, but indeed also a segment above. Price wise still attractive though
Nice watch Thomas.
thx =) see video description for details
great content, great quality, as always, what kind od camera used?
thanks pal, thats Panasonic GH4
Thanks for your prompt reply, yeah it looked like quality stuff,
GH5 is on my wish list, 4k in 60 frames plus in body stabilization, really hot features
Pick our leon st fr in mystery blue up on Thursday can't wait! 2.0 184ps DSG
awesome !!
Stacey Mitchell is there the possiblity that you can upload a short Video of the Car when you pick it up? Would love to se a regular ST in this colour. I'm thinking about changing my order and picking the blue.....
This is a gorgeous vehicle. We don't get them here in Canada. What a shame.... Congrats on your purchase!
kevin indeed it is! I have also ordered the diesel with 184 hp but with a manual gearbox. It is also a Powerful engine ;)
yeah I will do
Hi, Thomas! Amazing review as always! I couldn't help noticing your wrist watch :))) What make is it?
Looks like an Alpina Startimer Pilot Chronograph Big Date with the petrol blue dial.
indeed it is an Alpina watch

it sure did =)
check 10:23 for example you ll see the seat heating buttons
Great i must've missed it first time thank you.
Unfortunately still no heated windscreen for the Leon at the moment, missing this with my new FR which is great otherwise
is that 35 or 40 profile tyres?

hm no problems so far
I like it. but I got a vw golf alltrack so it's got a few similarities
Looked very cold
steering wheel looks like the one in my citreon DS

Compare with FWD on snow. All can test 4x4, but why not FWD 0-100 or 0-200 and lap comparison ??
So, Thomas... are you going to buy one? :) You sounded completely sold. And so am I! :)
hehe =)
I currently own a Skoda Octavia VRS, which I guess is one of your favourites also - I just feel sorry we cannot get on the Octavia that same 4WD package on the petrol VRS, with the larger IS38 Turbo that is on the Cupra/Golf R
Wie heißen die Felgen? Das sind nicht die, die man zum Cupra bestellen kann.
Schmattek85 das sind die Felgen vom Performance Paket
03:23 Der rote Mini da hinten hatte wohl kein 4rad 🤣🤣
how this cupra in comparison with golf r?
Golf R Facelift review in about 2 weeks
Great! It would be interesting whether it worth to pay more for R.

still nice :)
Who needs the stig when we have Thomas the drift King?
yay!
Stop teasing us Thomas, when are you going to do a full review of the "Car of the year" (Peugeot 3008)?
Just arrived m8, testing has begun.
Thanks for the reply, can't wait. I always enjoy Thomas's reviews.
Still waiting, how long does it take?
Pretty exterior color. You can definitely still see a little VW in it. From certain things. From the side profile it sort of looks like a Golf Alltrack. Did they model it after the Alltrack ? Would you say it has a little better build quality than the Golf Kombi or Alltrack ? Very nice car though.
you can compare the build qualities
Not so good car like M2 coupe but It's different class.
More movies from ice please.
Regards,
You seems like an smart guy, I really like your comparison, please make a video talking about some of them you have already in your little mind
this car is very interesting in aspect of design and performance, in terms of reliable I doubt a little, after having a Ibiza 6j and had to switch to a ceed GT...
Price of your Test Car?
Hatte ich doch gesagt oder?
Schönes Video, aber du solltest an deiner Aussprache arbeiten. Das Klingt mehr nach Deutsch, als nach Englisch^^
35:40 why such a complicated explanation for such a simple thing :(
A combination of black elements and silver styling elements looks really poor! Decide on one colour SEAT!
