Not just anyone can make cars that turn 'in your face' into a driving philosophy. But at SEAT it's something they pride ourselves on!

Being very sceptical as my last Seat was second hand diesel Ibiza bought in Spain, I tried the new SC Sport. Things have changed! This car is fantastic, it does exactly what is says on the box. In fact I was so pleased with the way it drove I was reluctant to give them the test car back until my own arrived. The only negative I have found is that the instruments are hard to read when the sun is shining.

Had the car for 1 year since new. The TDI 140 is a superb car but lacking that wee bit of oomph - had the ECU remapped boosting power to 190bhp and 395 torque. This is the car as it should have been. I will keep this car for a long time - need I say more.

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.

It’s a smart looking little car, with not too many on the road. It has loads of torque- 229lb/ft so it’s easy to drive around town but is still capable of returning 65-75mpg on a long run, if driven right! Best not to use the 130mph top speed then! Inside it’s reasonably well equipped, though the trim feels a little cheap in places, but show me a car that doesn’t these days. The ride is a bit hard, but it handles well enough despite the inert steering- not a patch on my old Peugot 306 XSi in this respect! A few minor niggles have sent it back to the dealer, but it has been cheap to run and insure and everyone is jealous of the fuel economy, even at todays stupid prices £50 will get you 600 miles per tank on a run. I will be sorry to see it go!

This car is powerful, 237bhp and 221lb of torque make this a really hot hatch. Volkswagen parts are used to build it so there is also no debating its quality and reliability. A really smooth drive, quiet and efficient. The DSG six-speed gearbox is auto impressed me so much that changing gears is now a thing of the past!

I think this is a really good family car. Comes with all the mod cons, good safety featues and has lots of space and comfort. It’s reasonable to drive and reasonable to run - what else do you want? I think it’s very good value for money and looks good too.

Nice SEAT design with good VW engine. There are some good bargains to be had at the moment and it’s worth haggling. This is a very reliable and spacious MPV and suits us down to the ground. Drive wise it’s easy going, although SEAT would have you believe it drives like a sports car - it doesn’t of course, it drives like an MPV but it does have a nice bit of power behind it so it’s certainly not sluggish.

This car has an amazing amount of load space, its like a Tardis! Really nice car to drive and not bad looking either. Good mpg. A good all rounder, but not the most exciting drive of your life. Very good value for money though.

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.

Great family car. Excellent mpg and low running costs. Tons of space and very comfortable for family of four. Gives a respectable drive and resale values are good. Can’t fault it.

Owned from new and as yet no problems after 15 months. Great Car - excellent performance and economy which do not normally go hand in hand. The downside is that it needs servicing every year.

Really Really Really Really unimpressed with this car! Had this car now for almost 1 Month and have driven it 5 times, nearly caused me a fatal car accident and twice the back lights have failed to come on and i may add this is a brand new car which was sitting in the very showroom when i bought it!! The engine has failed twice and the electrics have gone and still SEAT has denied me a new one!

I’ve owned my Leon for just over a year and I’m really impressed, fuel consumption from the 1900 tdi diesel power plant is excellent, ride and cockpit comfort are a step up from my old focus. However that said the handling and driver experience was better with the focus (it’s just the new ones look awful). I’ve not had any major or minor problems just a puncture which cost me £112 for a new tyre. What will I be replacing my leon with ? More than likely a new Leon.

I bought this car because I wanted space and affordability and I got both with this car. Pratical and versatile.

Very good car. I bought this 12 months ago with 35,000 on the clock for only £4,500. It is an excellent family car and I very much enjoy driving it. Very comfortable and very solid. The rear legroom is fine for my children who range in ages 15months to 7 years but can be a little cramped for an adult. Very good value for money and very easy to run cheaply.

According to EuroNCap, this is a safe as a car can be. Traction control, anti-lock brakes, six airbags and ISOFIX child seat mountings is why this is arguably THE SAFEST car available. The drive is powerful and smooth. The quality of the interior and exterior are high. The equipment is also quality and fuel economy and good insurance groups make this a sound option. This is not the cheapest car of its type but you certainly get what you pay for. Brilliant.

My Seat Leon looks great, performs well & is not bad on fuel. Very similar to the VW golf but not as common. Very pleased with the residual values on these, so should not depreciate too quickly. 56 Reg was a bargain at under £13,000.

Very very poor vision out, parking without sensors is a nightmare, sensors should be standard on all models at no extra cost, by far the worst car I have ever owned, do not buy one.

This MPV is absolutely excellent. I test drove several before choosing this one and nothing for me came close. It’s solid, safe and very drivable. My kids love it and so far I can’t find anything to fault it. I would highly recommend you test drive one of these if you’re in the market for an MPV, I don’t think you would be disappointed.

I’ve had my car now for 7 months and I’m very pleased with its performance and fuel consumption, this being my first diesel. The car is very easy to drive and the noise levels I had expected from the engine have not materialised. My family find it very comfortable to travel in and I am very pleased with my purchase. I can see this car giving me many years of happy motoring.
