Driving
Nice solid feel, try to avoid potholes, sport suspension a bit too much on poor roads.
Performance
Got a bit of oommpphh up higher in the revs, handling good enough for me... holds road well.

Living with it
Reliability
Couple of faults. Cassette player faulty when purchased, unaware until tried to use it, fixed under warranty and faulty elec mirror about to be done under warranty. Other than that my enthusiasm at getting a bargain has been dampened by a couple squeaks.
Image
Nice looking car, quite sporty. Didn't know of the Leon until purchased.
Comfort
Superb interior. Looked at BMW, VW and Audi and it's up there with them I think. Bumpy ride due to sports suspension, depends on what roads you drive!

Security and Service
Security
Not been tested as far as I know.
Service
Average. Done what warranty work has been needed so I suppose ok. Had to travel 25 miles to dealer as a nearer one couldn't even return calls, so why would I want to give them my money?
