Summary
What does this car say about you?
Too cheap to buy a Golf GTi!!! or too wise in my opinion the exterior of the Leon is much prettier.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone loves it. The rear doors are brilliantly hidden many laughs when picking up drunk friends and they ask the people in the front to get out so they can get in.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes planning another one to join the collection either that or a Cupra in Candy White of course!!
What are you likely to buy next?
I think Leon FR or Cupra

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great smooth gear changes. Super responsive accelerator (sometimes a touch too quick to change down and speed off)and good brakes. Cruises easily at motorway speeds.
What's it like to park?
As the alloys show not the easiest to parallel park (due to rear pillar) but superb for the usual shopping centre spaces.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No but coolant did run out at about 10,000 miles which was just topped up but no other problems.
What's most practical about your car?
The superb acceleration is great for overtaking on country roads. DSG super when in rush hour traffic!! clutch what clutch??
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Gear Box so smooth and 18" Alloys which I unfortunately have curbed to the other halfs disgust.
