    5 Stars Barcelona's Bullet. 16/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See opinion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages See opinion

    (NB - Please see my Barcelona's Bat Out of Hell op. This Leon R op is a follow-up to that so as not to repeat myself) After owning a Leon Cupra for the previous 9 months I test drove a Leon Cupra R and the differences between the two cars compelled me to buy one on the spot. As opposed the the Cupra, the R handles "as if on rails" with it's Agile Chassis Concept backed-up with switchable Electronic Stability Program and Traction Control. Fast sweeping bends or slower tight corners are taken with very little body roll or understeer, giving me a feeling of confidence in the R like no other car I ... more

    5 Stars Fab Cars - 20VT sport 03/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great car; value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages delivery time slow; bad dealers

    This should be under the 20VT category but it wasn't around when I first wrote this op. I'll see if the nice people at Ciao can move it for me. ********** Just a note to extol the virtues on the new Seat Leon. I have driven both the 1.8 SE and the 20VT turbo. In fact, I have the turbo on order. These cars really a value for money - the equipment levels are high and you get excellent build quality. The feeling is very much similar to Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golfs - although prices are considerably less. The 1.8 is fast enough and the engine has a sporty growl too it. Boots space and rear seats ... more

    5 Stars The poor man's Audi TT 01/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A very fast fun way to move 5 people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some dull colour options, black only interior.

    Why the title? Because that's what it is. Made by Seat using the VW Golf floor pan and parts out of the Audi TT spares bin. German build quality, styled and assembled by the Spanish with their sense of youthful fun - you have to smile every time you drive it. Looks - a neat mid-sized hatchback that looks best in very bright colours (ours is yellow, very yellow). The rear hatch latch is a neat touch, the badge swivels to release the catch. Only down side is that there is little to distinguish it from smaller engined versions aside from wide, low alloys & twin chrome exhaust. Equipment - very ... more

    5 Stars Grinning Roaring Coops (20v T Cupra) Review with images 20/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A Performance Bargain, VW Qaulity, Practicallity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Watch those speed traps ;-)

    If you are looking to buy a hot hatch, or even a family hatch with that little bit extra, then this has got to be on your shortlist. I'm going to talk about the reasons why. Firstly the car is incredibly fast. 0-60/mph in 7.2 seconds and loads of mid range grunt make driving easy. As I come away from a roundabout and put my foot down in 3rd I cannot help but smile as the front wheels scramble for traction. The push from the turbo is just incredible, this 1.8 20V Turbo engine produces 180BHP at 5500rpm with such fluidity. Its almost as if there is a higher force involved. A big plus point for ... more

    4 Stars Great family car and more... 01/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great all round car for everyone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High window makes parking harder. Can consume lots of petrol.

    ....though my other half hates me saying it is a great family car as that was not his intention. The car has loads of space on the interior and a huge boot and quite easily fits 3 adults in the back quite comfortably with room to move and we have some larger than average freinds! There are lots of mod cons and the multi changer in the glove box is great. The only 2 downfalls i have found is that it can be more difficult to reverse park if you are not tall (i am 5ft 3in) due to the high level rear window, which i've always used for parking yet can't on this car and as like most cars it eats ... more
