4 out of 5 stars

For It's cheaper, better looking and better to drive than the Volkswagen Golf it's based on

Against Rear accommodation is cramped and the low-speed ride is on the firm side

Verdict Better than Golf it’s based on, the Leon is a fine alternative to mainstream small family cars

Go for… 1.6-litre S

Avoid… 1.8-litre

1. It’s spacious up front, but the rear is not so good, with head- and legroom cramped compared with the Ford Focus
2. The biggest problem area is the electrics. Electronic control units on the 110 TDi diesels are prone to fail
3. Check that the cambelt has been changed according to schedule
4. Go for a 1.6 model rather than the 1.4 - it always had air-con as standard
5. Ensure there are no leaks in the footwell - a known Leon problem
