I live in Spain and currently have a Seat Leon Mk3 1.4tsi.
It's coming up to three years old and I am very seriously looking at the Ateca. I have test driven the 150tdi 4wd but will almost certainly buy the 1.4tsi DSG Xcellance with all the clever technology on it.
One thing that really impresses me about the Leon is the roadholding. The Ateca is almost as good, no understeer and no body roll. The Tdi/4WD is a lot heavier than the 1.4tsi and it does seem a bit underpowered due to that. It had 19" wheels and there was a lot of road noise.
I am trying to get a drive in the 1.4 but they only arrived at the dealers a week ago, so it will probably be a few weeks yet.
