Hi guys. I've got a brand new silver Seat Leon courtesy car while mine is being repaired. It's got a cool.electronic handbrake, a square flat button, which threw me. I was like "where's the handbrake?"
Should get mine back tomorrow or next week.
Something odd I've gotten used to on the Auris, but.don't like, is that when lifting from the accelerator during changing gear, the revs don't reduce quickly, it sounds like I haven't come off the gas, almost over revving, and it makes gear changes feel lumpy. So I do slower gear changes to compensate, allowing more time for the revs to reduce and that way I get smooth gear charges. There's no clutch slipping or anything like that.
It made me think I wasn't lifting enough, but I've been driving for over 40 years so I should know by now how to change gears. Never had that problem with my previous peugeot. This Seat Leon is also very easy to change gears, the revs instantly reduce on lifting and I can charge gear as fast as I like and it's smooth. So I know it's not me.
Does this sound familiar to any of you?
