SEAT Leon Hatchback (2005 - 2012) 2.0 16V TDI Reference Sport 5d Owner Review

I bought the car as everyone i knew had a golf so i wanted something different and ended up buying a seat leon mk2 2 litre tdi and ever since i have owned this car it has surprised me in so many ways and the 138 bhp under the bonnet feels a lot more as its pulls in every gear and best thing is when it goes it takes off like a rocket. Everything on the car is good just the interior is a bit plastic for my liking but everything else makes up for the plastic. It has started everytime i want it too and the mileage was a problem but drives like a brand new car. Being a diesel the mpg you would expect to be higher but on a 300 mile journey it was on 76mpg which is fantastic but around town it can drop to 16 mpg but stays around the 30 mark most days. Its a good family car with power if your still a kid at heart. The rear door handles take a little while to get used too and after that the car does it talking when you put it on the road. The leon has its own looks which no other car looks like. I still walk away from the car and look back at it and think wow this cars gorgeous. Being a hatchback they are a family car by the day but at night if you want to drive like lewis Hamilton then this car does it well especially when hitting corners at 60/70 mph its grips the road like its on tracks. I walked into a dealership wanting something different than a golf or other chavvy car and while looking at the subarus and other jap cars the leon was in the back and i took one look at it and thought wow i love the look off the car and thats why i test drove it and never looked back at it. Everyday i jump in the car and get excitied about it as everyday i love the leon more and more. Clutch and turbo is a thing to watch as both are costly parts to replace.
