Style & Design
9/10

The Leon is the VW Golf with a sexy new dress on. Real effort has gone into the design of the Leon, with its sculpted sheet metal, excellent detailing around the lights and tucked-away rear door handles. It looks low and mean, even though it isn’t. A superb design.

Performance
9/10

The 1.6 hits 100km/h in just 11.7 seconds, tops 184km/h. The 1.9TDi is quicker (11.3s/185km/h), but the 2.0 is better (8.8/210km/h). The 140bhp 2.0TDi isn’t far behind (9.3/208km/h). While the 170bhp 2.0TDi is fast (8.2/214km/h) you’re always shifting gears. The 2.0T is best: 0-100 in 7.8, 220km/h.

Ride & Handling
8/10

The Leon is a fine handler, more like a warm hatch than a boggo hatchback. It’s based on the Golf’s platform, so it steers with precision and doesn’t roll much in corners. The brakes are strong and the ride is pleasingly sporty, but it’s still not as sharp as the Focus.

Interior & Ergonomics
7/10

The Leon’s dahsboard has a similar look to the Altea’s but it’s less driver-focused and isn’t quite as appealing. It also seems a lot darker in there. It’s just as easy to use, apart from the all-red illumination, so apart from looking a little drab it’s difficult to be too hard on the Leon.

Quality & Refinement
8/10

Being based on the Golf’s sophisticated platform, you can expect the Leon to ride well, despite being quite sporty, and isolate occupants from the road well. Quality is up to VW standards too, but some plastics still aren’t quite as good.

Safety
8/10

The Leon achieved a superb 5-Star NCAP score and comes with front, side and curtain airbags, three 3-point rear seat belts, three headrests in the rear and ISOFIX child seat anchors. Front belt pre-tensioners and load limiters also feature, but ESP doesn’t appear on the FR, just traction control!

Space & Practicality
7/10

The Leon’s a reasonably spacious car, even though it looks quite squat. The rear seats don’t slide or recline and it is a wee bit cramped in the back. There are lots of storage nooks in the cabin, but the boot is not massive. A Golf or Focus would be better for growing families.

Value & Running Costs
7/10

The Leon isn’t bad value compared to rivals and is well equipped and very safe. How much it costs to run depends on which engine you get, but residuals shouldn’t be too bad, given that eveyone knows it’s basically a Golf beneath its pretty skin.

Equipment
8/10

The R has electric front windows, remote locks, rear spoiler & a CD player. S adds 16” alloys, foglights, leather steering with audio controls, climate & cruise control, rear electric windows, electric folding mirrors & a trip computer. FR adds 17” alloys, bodykit, sports seats & sports suspension.

Engine Specifications
9/10

Six engines are offered: a willing 102bhp/148Nm 1.6, a gruff 105bhp/250Nm 1.9TDi, a perky 150bhp/200Nm 2.0 and a grunty 140bhp/320Nm 2.0TDi. The 200bhp/300Nm 2.0 turbo powers the sporty FR and is better than the 170bhp/350Nm 2.0TDi, which has too narrow a powerband for performance driving.

Car Buyers Guide joined SEAT earlier this month at Mondello Park where the brand would show and demonstrate the entire 2011 range to the Irish motoring press. Aside from the full range, other activities were laid on including a skid car control session in a Leon and hot laps along side Irish race driving hero Eoin Murray in his works racing Leon Supercopa. I kicked off by trying my hand at the skid car with my instructor Nikki Meredith, which I must say was fantastic fun. The rear end of the car is basically on ice so it’s all about being smooth and feathering the throttle around each cone, steering into the slide as the rear breaks loose. Tricky but after a few laps we had it dialled and a grin from ear to ear ensued as we tackled the course. After this it was onto the circuit for a few laps in the Leon Cupra FR and Cupra R. The FR is off course powered by VW’s famed 2.0 litre lump that features an advanced electronic traction control system that is linked to the Electronic Stability Programme. I’ve driven Mondello a few times at this stage and not having to learn the track is a serious bonus, you can hit the ground running and open the taps from the word go. Straight away I noticed the traction control system working, each wheel was fed with just the right amount of power to maximise traction, which seriously improves corner speed. Down each straight all 170 horses gallop as you flick through the smooth DSG gearbox, its no slouch by any means any capable of embarrassing many petrol cars in this sector. After my laps were complete it was straight into SEATs flagship hot hatch the Leon Cupra R.

I’d never driven the Cupra before and to be fair straight out of the box it’s an awesome piece of kit. Around Mondello I thought it was sensational fun. Built by the same dudes that prepare the SEAT Leon race cars for world league competitions like the WTCC, the EUROCUP or the national Supercopa Series, the SEAT Leon CUPRA is fitted with a 2.0 TSI 240 hp engine that allows 100km/h to be hit in 6.4 seconds and doesn’t stop until it head-butts 247km/h. The performance is exhilarating but for the first time I actually missed the DSG box and found some of my ragged gear changes on the manual were slowing me down. This is simply an option but for me it would be a must when purchasing. Once again I complete my fair share of laps and then returned to the pits ready for my final jaunt in the Leon Supercopa Race car. SEAT had ferried two cars all the way from Italy along with Valentina Albanese an Italian female race driver to accompany Eoin Murray in demonstrating how a track should be driven. Armed with little more than a dodgy looking helmet I clambered in next to Eoin and belted up. The next few minutes of my life passed and at phenomenal speed as we lapped Mondello’s national circuit in a shade under one minute each time. Yep that’s motorbike speed! The grip is phenomenal and Eoin’s ability use all of the track and then some, is mind blowing. A few violent gear changes and the straight is over, a few movements from your internal organs and the next corner is over and before long we are back in the pits. It was a fantastic experience and for this we thank SEAT.

With a market share of 2.2% here in Ireland the Spanish multinational car manufacturer is growing fast. Last year alone in an incredibly tough year profits were up almost 14%, thanks to an upturn in sales and the market success of each model. Over the coming months we will be testing a lot more SEATs and we look forward to bringing you detailed reviews on each model. It’s one thing having a blast around a circuit but living with each car for a full week should be interesting. Many thanks to SEAT, Elevate PR and Eoin Murray.

Very stylish.spacious, economical and plenty of torque when needed for overtaking.For a diesel you can really throw it into a bend and it sticks to the road superbly.It has one of the easiest clutches on your left foot that I've ever encountered and makes for effortless driving.I get an average of 900 KMH to a tank and this is for mostly city driving, even better on the open road.
