Used SEAT Leon
Built on the same MQB platform as the market leading, double European Car of the Year winning VW Golf, one might look on the Seat Leon with an comparatively unflattering eye. But surprisingly, the Seat gives its VW platform mate a real run for its money. Sporty handling, bags of grip, good power and an exciting, lively design makes it more than simply a poor man's Golf. Earlier models might favour a purely stable drive rather than the newer model's sportier edge, but all share the same eye catching design, while good cabin space and a sizeable boot (380 litres) make it not quite market leading, but not far off.
