With regard to what potential owners think of the car, I picked up this piece from one of the Spanish forums.
Apologies if it does not read quite right occasionally, but this is the Google translation.
Sounds like a very happy bunny! I am particularly interested in his comparisons with the Leon, which I currently drive.
This Saturday I had the opportunity to have a Seat Ateca for 24 hours to prove it .
Before the summer, in the Atocha AVE train station, there was a Ateca exposed and approached. The girl told me if I wanted to try and take the data. The marketing department Seat is who was behind Saturday and let me test one at no cost. Even the fuel because full came and told me not to fill out , unless it was over.
The unit left me was a Ateca Seat TDI 150 hp, 4 drive with manual transmission, excelence finish. Here you have a picture of it: currently I have a Seat Leon FR TDI 150 hp with manual transmission so I commented on behavior, comparing the two vehicles. I read it was like driving a Leon, it was true. Accustomed to me, did not notice virtually no difference and that I tried pretty thoroughly. Rode with Ateca about 400 kilometers in both town (few km) and highway (about 80 km) and motorway (about 110) as on mountain roads (130 km) and to top 40 on unsurfaced forest tracks. I attached a photo of consumption: Alone in the mountain road and on the track, I pressed a little background. Circulé highway at the recommended speed. In conclusion: Excellent barely noticed differences with my Seat Leon. Only on the issue of output has more kick the Lion. I understand that the weight difference influences. The 4 - wheel drive is brutal. In the forest track the Ateca is super - flat and can accelerate without fear. On the mountain road in the afternoon, it started to rain and I could step on without any fear. Much better than with Leon. Cornering comes without any rocking super good, it is very flat on all surfaces. Very silecioso with a super smooth steering and a precise change. It is also a very comfortable both in the front passenger compartment with the rear car. And as you can see, a very tight consumption. One negative to note? yes. In the second mountain track it is too long. There is a gap between the 1st and 2nd. You must bring something high of turns to leave. Overall, I repeat, must be at the weight, has a greater repís the Lion. Lastly, I believe that the issue of Adblue wore only the 190 hp. This version also had Adblue. I put the photo of deposit and computer data: Accessorize, which he called me the most attention is the descent control (very useful in forest tracks) and rail. I think it's a very good help. It operates from 60 km and really takes you by rail. Perhaps narrow roads such as mountain, disable it would be better because you're noticing the movements if you step on the lines. The speed control (not adaptive) think they have improved over I do in Leon. Also available Wireless Charger (very useful, but leaves you mobile boiling) and connection to mobile applications (also very interesting). Finally, mine, as I have sent, today we begin to manufacture. I hope to have it in late September. Ateca is the 190 CV. Finally, a picture of Ateca forest track ... Thanks for putting all the roll. Any questions or requests, here I answer. Greetings Carles
