Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I can have a quality affordable reliable car without breaking the bank and still look good!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
All like it and those who've never seen one close up make me laugh when they look at the back door for the handles!!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definately and I love the model although not a distinct as before but still great! I believe the new models even get a better rating than the VW Golf, Audi A3 and Skoda as they share the same chassis.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another new Leon, or a new Altea if they bring one out as I've previously owned one of these aswell.

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
September 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Great deal as the price was a special offer at that time. In brief got an SE trim (bluetooth, MP3 etc) but only paid the S spec price.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Great Offer price with free upgrade, great service from garage.
What was the dealer like?
Great! Jennings who delivered the car new on the agreed date at the agreed time. Just had to wait before I could get the keys whilst money transferred over.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Love to drive it. Despite being an older diesel engine is quiet. Smooth drive and passengers I've had say its a smooth ride and feel.
What's it like to park?
Same as a mid sized car, no major problems...
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Absolutely nothing! Regular servicing and flew through MOT's. Great car and is basically a VW Golf in drag without the VW price tag...
What's most practical about your car?
Economy. Still great for an older diesel engine. Averaging around 48/50 mpg round town, have got it to push 50/55 on a good motorway run.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Voice recognition for the bluetooth. Can leave phone in pocket or holder. Love the rear door handles in the window looking like a two door.
