Good Points

VW family input, generally reliable, good standard specification. Good space for front seat occupants. Seats adjust for height. 4 airbags. Steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake.


Bad Points

Soft paint, coil pack failure on three occasions. Rear seat space can be tight with tall passengers.


General Comments

We've owned our 2002 1.6S Leon since it was a year old. Has been reliable, apart from the three separate coilpack failures in the first 18 months of ownership. Hopefully the uprated ones now fitted at the dealership have resolved this problem. We have had no problems with the electrics or with water leaks. There are one or two rattles and squeaks from the interior trim but nothing too intrusive. 'Forest Green' paintwork is quite soft on our vehicle. Mechanically has been very solid to date (March 2006, 42,000 miles).
