Having never leased a car before I was a bit anxious and had so many questions. My contact was really helpful and took her time to explain everything in detail. I missed out on the car I wanted but she sourced something better and it met my budget. The car was delivered and I LOVE it

Watch enough Star Wars movies and you’ll soon realise one thing - apprentices have a nasty habit of eventually becoming masters. And so it is with the SEAT Leon, a car that’s long lived in the shadow of its more popular sibling, the Volkswagen Golf, but is now a different proposition entirely. In case you didn’t know, SEAT belongs to the wider Volkswagen Group, along with the likes of Audi, SKODA and Porsche.
And as such the Leon shares the same basic platform as the VW Golf and also enjoys lots of those tried and trusted VW parts found in the Golf. But here’s the thing - while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for our money the new Leon outshines the new Golf when it comes to exterior styling. The Leon is a slightly longer car than the Golf, too, resulting in better space in the rear for passengers while having exactly the same sized boot. Yet the Leon costs from around £159 per month to lease, the Golf slightly more expensive at around £180 per month. So has the unthinkable finally happened - has the Leon actually become a safer bet than the Golf…? Read on to find out.
