2015 Seat Leon Diesel Manual Hatchback by Willis Autos • 31st May 2018
Have had my Seat Leon SE for around a year. Really enjoying it though it gets through diesel quite quickly. There is an "eco" model for those who are concerned about MPG. Tech pack is ok though still use Sat Nav on my phone as the built in one isn't great. Comfortable, stylish and quite nippy! Large boot too.

SEAT Ibiza FR TDI (130)
100%
2008 Seat Ibiza Diesel Manual Hatchback by D • 16th April 2018
Owned my 2008 SEAT Ibiza FR TDI for 2 years now.
RELIABILITY:I have only replaced suspension parts which is basic wear and tear. The 1.9 TDI pd engine is renowned for being bulletproof.
PERFORMANCE: All I can say is wow, for a diesel this car can fairly shift. Admittedly, I had the car remapped to 168bhp and 305 lb/ft of torque and the performance is amazing. Second gear pull is vicious and really throws you into the back of the seat, sure there is a bit of lag but what diesel doesn't. In-gear acceleration is what makes this car so good, and It has beaten many more expensive 'performance' cars, even off the lights. Remember this car weighs only 1179kg compared to the fabia vrs, mk4 and mk5 golfs all of which weigh over 1300kg so expect to see them in your rear-view mirror only.
HANDLING: Sadly this is the car's only downside, front-wheel drive diesel is never going to be the best handling car but it just doesn't feel as planted as an audi a3. There is a bit of body roll in the corners (lowering might help this) and grip levels aren't the most confidence inspiring even with decent tyres. However, the biggest disappointment is the car's steering which is just far too light and provides barely any feedback, very numb and as a result the car is just very little fun around a twisty road. A mk2 focus will handle better.
RUNNING COSTS: Cheap to run. Tax is £150 a year. Around town I get 35MPG with a heavy right foot, motorway MPG should be in the 50's. I run the car exclusively on BP Ultimate Diesel as the car runs FAR SMOOTHER AND FASTER on this fuel when compared to regular diesel. Tyres are around £100 a corner for premium brands on 17" wheels. Servicing is every 10k miles and is cheap.
Summary: Excellent car with accessible performance in very gear. Unlike performance petrol cars, you can rake this car everywhere and the fuel needle will barely move. This would be an ideal car for someone who wants a quick car but is a bit of a miser when it comes to paying for fuel. Reliability is bulletproof even if the engine is a bit agricultural. BUY ONE!

2013 Seat Leon Diesel Manual Hatchback by yippeedoodee • 25th April 2014
Have had 3 toyotas in a row so time for a change, and what a change, while i would never knock the toyota te spec is non existant compared to the leon, what a fantastic driving experiance the only down side is i hate getting out of it, a real head turner in white, 105 bp loads of power loads of goodies, amazing diesel fuel economy, 70mpg!! i had heard the older engines were noisy, no such problems with the 1.6 tdi, barely notice its a diesel, the only small complaint is the seats are a bit hard on a long drive but overall brilliant car

2010 Seat Exeo Diesel Manual Sedan by jay • 15th November 2013
This is a super car which I've owned for 18mts and it covered just under 70k of which I've done 30. Everyday running the car is no hastle and is a good car to drive on the commute as its comfortable and quite but as it's a 170 overtaking is easy and if your in a rush it will easily do the job.
Fuel economy is ok too once you get over the initial shock of the 65ltr tank. Generally I
See a full 600 mile to one tank and the OBC generally averages about 44mpg. The tax is a bit expensive at 175 but I think it's worth it for the few extra horses. I bought the car due to a new arrival and all the gear that goes along with it and the boot on this car is massive plenty of room for a buggy and the weekly shopping. In the cabin however it's actually a bit tight once the baby seat is behind the passenger that seat needs to be fully forward so the child has leg too also the way the back narrows you won't seat three adults in the back of this car and leg room behind the driver is poor also but the seats are comfortable and supportive and have great adjustment on them so achieving a perfect driving position is easy. As for toys my sport model has everything auto lights auto wipers and climate control. The stereo is good as standard but I personally wouldn't have minded the Bose upgrade similar to the a4.

Big bug bear with this car is the front suspension. It seems to be a fault with the style of it and the passat a4 and a skoda I think suffer the same. At about 60k the front of the car rattles and bumps going slow over uneven roads. Now I pulled out the whole top section and replaced it and it did fix it but it cost 400 for parts which around the same time as the timing belt was a big chunk of money to throw at a relatively fresh car but I suppose the excellent ride and handling has some cost. I did fit febi parts as I was assured they are superior to seat or audi parts so I will see in another 60k I suppose.

Overall this is a super car it looks sharp has plenty of toys and gadgets to keep you in control and entertained as you go about your driving. I would consider a second one come time to change as I am so pleased with it.

1999 Seat Toledo Diesel Manual Saloon by Jenna • 18th March 2013
Had my Toledo for about 3 months. These cars are known for having puddles on the ground (which mine did) but all was well when I bought it apart from this. The driving is smooth and enjoyable.. But within this small time frame the clutch started giving bother.. And then the turbo. Had to sell it for scrap in the end. Never again

2008 Seat Leon Petrol Manual Hatchback by blibo • 12th August 2012
i have owned a seat leon cupra for 4 years now and it is one of the best driving cars i have owned. really smooth handling, soft suspension and not as hard on the road as what i thought it would be and with very little road noise. i found it wasnt that hard to fuel either i was getting near 40mpg on long runs. but the main thing about the car is the power and my god it is quick when u want to drive it hard but if you dont want to it is an excellent family car.
