Summary
Recommended. The VW Golfs stylish Spanish sister is a stylish, fine-driving family hatchback.
Styling
The front end looks very similar to the Altea MPV, but the Leons coupe-inspired lines give it an upmarket, sporty appearance.
Handling
Plenty of grip and predictable on-the-limit - its just a shame the steering feels so lifeless.
Comfort
The cabin is an excellent place to spend time - but firm suspension settings give a jarry ride on rougher urban tarmac.
Quality
Its not quite up there with the VW Golf in terms of cabin trim, but its well-constructed and durable.
Performance
All models give decent urge - but the forthcoming high-powered turbo variants promise to be blisteringly rapid.
Roominess
One of the largest of the family hatchback segment. Plenty of room for both passengers and luggage.
Costs
Reasonably priced servicing, strong economy and decent residuals make the Leon attractively cost effective.
Value
Good standard equipment ensures the Leon stacks up well against its rivals on cost - range-topping versions undercut the equivalent Golf substantially.
Stereo
Stereo offers good sound quality with a range of upgrades available. Satnav is one of the more modern systems, although the interface colours and fonts look a bit cheesy compared to the same system in the classy Audi A3.
