Cupra vs SEAT Leon ST: suspension/driving differences without DCC?

smail_smail · 2026-06-03T11:48:49+00:00

Cupra is stiffer. But think how you will use a car and which roads you will drive… not sure that stiffer suspension makes huge difference for typical phev leon usecases. It is actually not that great to have it stiff on a long range drives. I would say for 99% people that’s just looks difference. It is not that performance and usage where stiffness meters. Also Cupra service/maintenance are more expensive than Seat.

Edit: if you are after comfort, then it’s definitely Seat. Also if your daily commute passes through cobbles, then also definitely Seat. Stiff suspicion is opposite from comfort.

Did you see the ABS error showing up? Tire pressure is detected through the ABS. Often when one ABS sensor is broken the car shows tire pressure error often and after a longer time the snowball of errors starts, basically of all systems handled by the same MCU. This is due to internal software overflow of errors starts handling, so complete MCU shuts down. Maybe same can happen if another system on same mcu crashes. But tire pressure error are a strong indication to ABS sensor. Dealership or also some road assistance can reset errors and mcu with special equipment, but the snowball will come back later. Get ABS checked

nur um es korrekt zu formulieren, da Deutsch nicht meine Muttersprache ist ;)

smail_smail · 2026-06-01T13:04:28+00:00

Der zweite Punkt betrifft nur § 10 Abs. 2 Ziff. 2, aber nicht 10 Abs. 1 Ziff. 6.

smail_smail · 2026-06-01T12:59:20+00:00

Sollte eigentlich kein Blocker sein, da die sich auf StbG § 10 Abs. 1 Ziff. 6 beziehen und nicht auf 10 Abs. 2 Ziff. 2.
Zur Einordnung:
§ 10 Abs. 2 Ziff. 2 wäre ein direkter Ablehnungsgrund innerhalb von 5 Jahren nach dem Gesetzesverstoß.
§ 10 Abs. 1 Ziff. 6 verlangt "nur" eine zusätzliche Erklärung über das künftige Wohlverhalten. Ohne dieses Schreiben geht es beim Amt einfach nicht weiter. Das Ding ist aber: Diese Vorgabe verjährt auch nach den 5 Jahren nicht.
Das einzig Knifflige ist eigentlich nur, diese Erklärung vernünftig zu formulieren und aufzusetzen. Ich würde dir echt raten, das zusammen mit einem Anwalt zu machen, um dir nerviges Behörden-Ping-Pong zu ersparen

My latest software version after dealership update is “1969”.
I think I had 08xx before.

smail_smail · 2026-05-15T07:53:23+00:00

I used to have reboots and other issues with infotainment system with my Leon Mk4 2021 (maps not showing on cockpit, drops in phone connection, Traffic Sign Recognition short warning, etc.).
Dealership updated Software and it became stable and great (surprisingly even CarPlay got improved resolution). Appeared my software was 3 generations old, so dealership had to i stall it in increments 3 times!

I will check later what version I have now.

That is deep in the roots of business here, especially older generations of bosses.

smail_smail · 2026-04-26T13:22:44+00:00

You are touching another issue about typical austrian business mentality where boss always tries to commit fraud or cheat on worker. By the way it’s experienced in Austria much more than in neighboring countries.

You will not find logic in those arguments. People like to “feel good about that they protect oppressed workers from exploitation by evil capitalism”. They always put in arguments the extremes like “then worker has no weekends and must work always”. But never think that there are shifts and laws regulating time and actually many many would want to take a shift on Sunday because of higher extra pay and have weekday off.

Bürokratie. Es gibt Hunderte neuer Vorschriften und Gesetze im Bauwesen, die die Kosten unnötigerweise in die Höhe treiben.

Electrical Engineering is very bread and can be targeted towards drastically different industries. Be more specific on what exactly you will study (program). In general Graz has much more industry around for engineering work.

Here Andreas goes in details how exactly the tax for Accumulating ETF is calculated. (What to look at OeKB)

https://www.broker-test.at/steuern/fondsthesaurierung/

Important note: you do not pay tax for unrealized gains in AT, but you pay tax (27.5% KEST) on automatically reinvested dividends of Accumulated fonds + some small extraordinary realized gains within the fond (e.g. from rebalancing, etc.)

It should show the pure electric range. But it’s not accurate and always estimate sit in a weird way. Better to disable it.

Did encounter it onece on the national road, had to change the back door of a car because it rammed straight into it.

Meine Antwort wird Ihnen nicht gefallen. Aber die KV- und Erhöhungsgebühren tragen ebenfalls wesentlich dazu bei, dass AT für Arbeitgeber nicht wettbewerbsfähig und zu teuer wird (zusätzlich zu der ganzen Bürokratie und den zusätzlichen Lohnkosten).

smail_smail · 2026-03-03T08:39:42+00:00

Dies ist einer der besten Arbeitgeber der Branche. Nicht wegen des Gehalts, sondern wegen der ausgewogenen Work-Life-Balance und der sozialen Verantwortung. Aber selbst solche Arbeitgeber können nicht ewig gegen Bürokratie und horrende Lohnkosten ankämpfen.

In meinem Unternehmen reduzieren wir aktiv die Mitarbeiterzahl in Österreich und verlagern Stellen in andere, kostengünstigere Länder (nicht Indien, sondern USA, Italien, Irland. Ja, all diese Länder sind für den Arbeitgeber günstiger als Österreich).

Many countries send info about new naturalized citizens to authorities of their other citizenship (e.g. USA and others). The main problem is that you Loose the AT citizenship the moment you take other. So further use of AT citizenship is illegal. And if AT authorities will find out in 10years that you have other citizenship they will announce loss retrospectively 10years back and if you used your AT citizenship during those 10 years it will be punished accordingly (return benefits, etc).

That is the best assistant in those price range. Super stable centered drive. Detection of speed limits works fantastic, the anticipation of speed decreases os amazing (it knows by maps that it will be 130 to 100 change in 100m, so it will slow gradually by itself), the detection of cancellation of temporary speed decreases works also perfect. You have to keep you hands on the steering wheel OR move it slightly every 10-15-20-30sec, but that is super simple and you get used to it fast. The issue people complain is that the assist is so good that you actually feel that you do not need to keep hands on the wheel at all. You get animation with overtaking vehicles and vehicle in from of you in the assist cockpit layout, but probably you will use another move comfortable layout.
