SEAT Leon hatchback
reviewed by Carbuyer

Take the chassis of the Volkswagen Golf, add sporty Spanish styling, lower the price and you have the SEAT Leon. The cabin quality is a step down from the Golf's, and in the name of sportiness SEAT sacrifices some comfort, but inside it's a spacious car big enough for four adults. A low driving position adds to the car's emphasis on performance and fun. All the engines impress, spanning from the small and economical to the very quick indeed.
