2007 Seat Leon reviews

Seat Leon reviews by year of make:   2006  2007  2008  Read all reviews

From front to back, the New Leon's body shows off the SEAT Dynamic Line. All the lines of the Leon's low profile body suggest forward motion and this gives the Leon the appearance of a modern coupe. The Leon is more than just a pretty face, its widely stretched track and wheelbase offer smooth driving in the city and exhilaration on the open road.

SEAT Leon 1.6 Reference Sport. 2007

4 star review

Having previously owned a Mk 1 Seat Leon, I was very loathe to buy another one owing to lots of technical problems. However when I had the Mk2 as a courtesy car whilst the older one was getting fixed....I loved it. In fact I went out and bought one. What a difference in the ride, little less powerful 1.6 engine, but no back end swinging out and having confidence in the car with the handling and reliability. Positives I’m sure you are all aware of. The only technical defects I have so far are: Window pack unit (put windows down by itself o/night), 1 x bearing replaced (horrendous droning noise). Getting knocking noises in suspension now, but the car is coming up for 3 years old. I would say the main problem I have with the 1.6 in this variant is the way the gearbox is set-up. In that I mean the revs are a bit too high, almost as if it needs a 6th gear as it creams and wheezes at 70mph at nearly 4000 revs/min.

SEAT Leon Sport DSG 2007

4 star review

Bought used with 12K on clock. Loved the look of the car. The engine performance is superb and power and acceleration is great! Can’t imagine what the FR would be like! Only downfall is the bumpy ride which I suppose I can sacrifice for the handling of the car. Quite a lot of rattles from interior body though which seems usual apparently! Really like the semi-auto gearbox too!

SEAT Leon 1.6 Reference Sport (Styling Kit) 2007

4 star review

Simply the nicest drive I have encountered for a long time. The car looks awesome with the full BTC kit on it and with the 18" alloys handles well. The electric pack that came with it is very pleasing. It’s early days but I can’t imagine changing brands now. The only downside is the 1.6 perhaps lacks a little punch...so would maybe for those out their that like speed go for the 140bhp upwards.

SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 105 Reference 2007

4 star review

This is the first Seat car I’ve owned and I’m so impressed with the Leon. It accelerates effortlessly and makes long journeys enjoyable. It has bags of space in the rear and the boot is very generous, my only critisism is the boot opening shape, which can make loading big items a bit awkward. The main boon with this car is you’re getting a VW engine without having to fork out VW prices, which was the main selling point for me. Great car overall.
