I have had this car from new and it’s now nearly nine years old and I have to say that it has served me well. I originally decided on the Seat Leon as I liked the look of it (being a girl!) and... more

    5 Stars Take a load of, have a SEAT 11/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb value for money, stylish, great performance, Comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Features, interior finish

    Car - SEAT Leon Year of Registration - 2005 Model - 1.9 TDi S (90bhp) Colour - Silver This car encompasses the looks and appearance of a high end luxury hatchback, and the performance of a smaller hot hatch. It looks well built and has the comforting appearance of being a strong car. I have driven the 'S' model of this car for over 3 months now, and I cannot fault it in any shape or form. The fact that it is a diesel engine should not put anybody off. It out classes any petrol equivalent car when it comes to miles per gallon. I currently spend £42.00 to fill up the tank and this will produce ... more

    5 Stars Excellent Seat Leon FR TDi 150 13/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Outstanding Torque, Performance, Economy, Sporty (FR model)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as solid as Audi

    Background I recently bought an audi A3 (new shape) but with a 2.0 FSI engine. It was the worst decision I have ever made. I was in the garage 10 times in 6 months, rattles, knocks, suspension but what really annoyed me (having come from a 2.1TDi Peugeot 406) was the lack of grunt or torque especially on the motorway. Having wasted £2k (after trade in), I decided to test drive EVERY single TDi. golf, bora, passat, handa accord, saab 93, vauxhall, toyota avensis, bmw 320d, audi a3 2.0 tdi, mercedes, etc I researched tirelessly everyting from speed, economy looks etc. I'm 23yrs old, I drive ... more

    4 Stars Leon TDI SE (110). Not just a cheap, boring diesel... 28/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive economy, handles well, good reliability, solid, great value for money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lacking a little power, some trouble with cold starts, slight problem on door seal.

    Well it is a bit boring, but it's not bad compromise considering the benefits. The economy, quality and second hand price more than make up for the fact it's not exactly a race car. At about 50-60 mpg, I can hardly blame it if it isn't terrifyingly quick, though the fact it handles pretty well lets you have some fun on those narrow, twisting country roads. It's a great all-rounder with only a couple of let downs. Although I adored my previous car, a BMW 325i, it was no fun turning up at the petrol station every 3 or 4 days, having only covered a couple of hundred miles, and throwing more money ... more

    5 Stars What a car! 21/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sustainable acceralation and looks a dreams

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Visibility in the rear is a bit cramped.

    I love this car, I bought it 18months ago and I still feel great every time I walk up to it to drive it. Since buying it I haven't had to spend any money on repairs, it's be faultless. I really like the interior of the car too, everything just feels in the right place> The adjustability of the seats and steer wheel means you can create a nice drive position too. The space in the car for it's class is brilliant, masses of space in the front, rear seating is reasonable and a excellent boot space. The style of the car is brilliant, I still think this car looks better that the new range. Also the ... more

    5 Stars A truly excellent car 18/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Smooth, Powerful, Economical to run, Stylish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Watch out for low kerbs

    I bought my Leon FR 1.9 TDI 150 about 3 months ago now. I had initially gone to the showroom to look at Ibizas because they have a good reputation, but fell in love with the Leon once I'd taken it for a test drive. I haven't driven the other models besides the FR, so can't comment on those. The FR though is one hell of a lot of car for your money. Its as powerful as just about anything else under £22,000, but a lot cheaper. The drive is smooth and firm, and with 6 closely spaced gears, you have real control over it's excellent engine. Having said that you'll find that you probably use your ... more
