A very suitable sized car for a couple and then to allow to carry further family members as required.A frisky,sporty hatchback with good style and comfort with reasonable economy in today's high motoring costs. Looks good and drives well with in line running costs.

The Seat Leon (02 reg) has been a good car generally. It has been excellent to drive and generally very reliable. However there has been a downside and to me a big one, and this is Seat customer service. My car had a known issue with leaky door seals, which I found out about when my doors leaked. Seat denied this was a common problem and refused to assist. There were many customers on the web with this same problem. Even if Seat had not wanted to pay for a check on door seals, they should have let customers know this is a potential problem so they could watch out for it and not discover it only when the carpets were sodden. This was very disappointing, and would make me think twice before buying another Seat.

Great sporty little hatch

I love it, it's a great sporty little hatchback with plenty of leg and luggage room and typically good VW/Audi/SEAT reliability. Running costs are nice and low, with cheap insurance and tax. Would certainly recommend to others.

I have had my SEAT Leon since May 2013. I find it comfortable and reliable, with all the necessary technology, such as bluetooth for in-car phone use. It is also economical on fuel.

OK but not for long distance driving

I decided to go for a Leon Ecomotive because the CO2 emissions on this were amazing, and I'd been clocked twice driving through London's congestion charge zone (without knowing) and received a fine for the privilege! If you drive up and down the country or clock up a lot of miles thi car really isn't for you, it's not the most comfortable motorway driving car, but this is only a small flaw. It's great for town driving (or pottering about London) and is very economical, I would recommend this for anybody who wants a small, sleek, stylish car but wouldn't recommend it to anybody who is over 6' 4'' or anybody who driving a lot of miles for a living.
