SEAT Leon Hatchback 1.6 16V S 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
So much better VFM than Audi or VW but similar quality. No CD player when new, which I thought was a bit tight.
Costs
Dealer servicing good prices, except 40k mile service.

On the road
Driving
Handles well and quite nippy at low speeds.
Performance
Pretty reasonable, I should think 1.4 is a bit gutless.
-
Living with it
Reliability
A bit tough to start a couple of times, otherwise good.
Image
Great when new (2001), flagging a little now.
Comfort
Good seats, useful left foot rest, annoyingly low door arm rest for right elbow.

Security
No problems.
