Anybody seen some?
Has anybody actually seen any SEAT's in North America?
Just wondering. Would be cool to know if someone in the US or Canada actually drives a SEAT.

I supposed this question would come sooner or later.
The name is very funny because most people think when i mention SEAT i'm talking about seats but i haven't chosen the name. SEAT is a spanish car manufacturer owned by Volkswagen. The official website is www.seat.com I know that they build small cars compared to what americans are used to but thay are very good quality and cheap. I myself drive one and can tell that in over 3 years i have had no problems whatsoever. With it's Ibiza Model thay have won the World Rally Championship in the 2 litre category 3 years in a row. On my website you can check the photo gallery where i have some pictures of the Seat cars.

I knew what they are. I saw them in the crappy rally coverage we get in America (one came in third at the Kenya rally, IIRC), and one got a feature in Sport Compact Car a few months ago... I'll dig it up later. Very slick little cars.

there will be SEATS in the US as they are sold in Mexico leon, cupra and maybe the leon cupra R.
The SEAT leon is basically a golf chassis that has had work done to improve the handling oh and a 1.8 20VT engine An ibiza cupra sport is a mk4 Polo with the front nose chassis off a mk2 golf and the engine is from a mk3 golf gti The ibiza Cupra R is basically the same with slight chassis modifications and bodywork and the same engine as the Leon R but due to less weight means its a pocket rocket If u eva need any info or want to chat about SEAT's get ur self to ( not today though as the site is being updated, oh and we have members from over 40 countrys http://www.seatenthusiasts.co.uk/forum |

i live in the UK, seat have built a very good reputation over recent years, since they were taken over by VW. I drive a Seat ibiza at the moment, just over 3yr old. Im looking to buy my own first car, rather than share my parent's car. im looking to get a Seat Leon, 1.6 litre, coz i like them a lot

I saw some SEATs in Mexico
I lived in Mexico City last year(went there for college), man the Leon is sooo fast, I saw a couple at the street races they have overthere and saw a couple Leon Cupra R at actual 1/4 mile dragstrips, those things haul ass.
I wish I could import one overhere, I have some pics of them around my pc somewhere, i'll post them when i find them. |
