SEAT Leon

I have owned the 1.0 Litre DSG Version for 2 years clocking 35k Mileage so far. Simply amazing ride. Price bought at $89,999.

For 1.0 turbo engine really impressed & powerful , nice to drive lower consumption insurance premium very cheap plus the road tax just only $392 per year. For Conti car just selling at $89,999 really value for money

I am driving my brother's Seat Leon and am impress by the performance of the car..The car comes with a kessy keyless access system.. The car is responsive and handle pretty well . The gear changes very smoothly. No lack of power when i do an overtaking. At 115 horsepower and torque 200 NM , it is equilvalent to a 1.6 litres car and i am paying lesser road tax and a better fuel consumption. The car comes with a cruise control system. The Seat full link ( apple carplay) is very useful. I could use a voice control to reply a text message without holding the phone to text out a message. The car comes with a wireless charger. My children sitting at the rear passenger seat is happy with the rear aircon. In conclusion this is the most value for money conti car that i have ever own .

3 months of driving the LEON for this review and feel its time to put some words in perspective.

Most asked me what car were you driving and why downgrade? (Was driving a bigger engine TSI capacity and boot space before this....And I really wanted to carry on with a continental ride.)

Even more honestly, I never intended to go with SEAT but I read the reviews online, watched the videos and looked up the car on Instagram- still wasn't 'wowed' over yet and then decided Why not give it a test drive...Nothing to lose right?

*Cut short.....And I DID and I am GLAD and I am happy enough to put in a review.(my time is precious)

This car had been made real good-IMHO.

Collected my new Leon last weekend! I must say it was a great purchase. I was looking at small hatchback since my requirement is just to drive to work and back home everyday. I went to VW to view their Golf initially. Then I was browsing on SGCARMART and came across this car (SEAT Leon), read some of its features and decided to pop by at their showroom in Ubi area.

Once I stepped into their showroom I was instantly greeted by their friendly sales consultant. He explained to great lengths to me about the car (Leon), he was professional and very patient with me because I had many questions. Once I saw the car I fell in love with it, it looked gorgeous, with its sharp features and not to mention the price was better than others.

After that we went for a test drive and I really liked the handling and the comfort level in the car. Once we ended the test drive I had no hesitation but to sit down with the Sales consultant to discuss the details of the purchase.

Drove my new ride for coming to a week now, I must say my love for my new Leon grew everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend SEAT cars to anyone. In fact this is a good time to buy their cars before they grow more reputation, by that time I am sure their car prices will go up!

When Seat announced they would be back to Singapore in mid 2016, I was the few that drop by their completed but yet unopened showroom in the eastern park of Singapore to take a peak at their cars. At that time, I was driving a Mark 6 VW Jetta with no problems but due to falling COE prices, I thought it would be good to shop around for a new car.

I wanted a Golf but the white Leon I saw in the yet unopened showroom caught my attention instead due to it's ''distinctive sharp styling lines as German motoring review series Autogefuhl calls it.

Finally I decided to pop in to their showroom in Feb 2017 to test drive their Leon 1.2. Having tested the Golf 1.2 just a weekend ago, I was impressed by their firmer ride and more communicative steering. And plus, I prefer the styling which has it's character compared to the more business like Golf. The deal was set and I put a deposit down for it. Bonus was Vertex gave a good value for my Jetta so that sweeten the deal a bit.

Now 4 months into ownership, I have no regrets. Some say I am quite silly to swop a Jetta 7DSG to another 7DSG on the Leon. Perhaps it is because I had a good ownership experience with a Volkswagen based 7DSG that made me commit to another 7DSG.

Seat's comeback with the Leon has really surprised me. They've replicated the Golf platform, which means it can't really go wrong.

The 1.2 liter engine pulls its own weight and allows the car to zip in and out of traffic with ease. The Leon's handles itself well, really sporty and responsive.

The interior is meh. It's not horrible, but it's not fantastic either. Not really a big deal considering how well it drives though.
