Mark.'s Review of Seat Leon 1.6 S

Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Practicality
- Performance
- Reliability
Excellent value for money. Solid build. Nice close fitting panels. Better than an old hat Golf and cheaper with more extras. Mean looking front headlights. Nice bum.
Bad Points
I was going to say poor visability out of rear window, but when reversing look at where the rear window stops and that is the end of the car, so its hard to hit a car or wall....comes with experience!
General Comments
The Seat Leon 1.6 S 16 Valve is a car that does everything it is supposed to. It's fast enough for most, looks stunning and has every thing you need for driving in the UK. Have a look in a Golf catalogue and compare the technical data with the Leons'. Compare it with the Golf 1.6 SE and you'll see that the Leon is a better buy. I've had mine since January 2003 and I have had no problems and the dealership is great, but it's a family business which has been around for 35 years, so that's probably the reason.
They gave me a huge discount and front loading single CD player which is better than filling your glove box up with a 6 changer. I went for Platinum grey metalic which looks superb and makes a change from the over bought silver. Every ones buying silver which never really looks that shiny.
Anyway, I'm happy and do you know, the only drop of water in this car is in the washer bottle and rad!!!.
