SEAT Leon (New)

Overall Average Rating - 84.48%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 65th

Given that SEAT shares so much with the Skoda Octavia – which finished well up our chart – this is a hard result to fathom.

Only four cars have a worse ride than the Leon, while comfort and ease of driving could be better.

Reliability and build quality are poor – 81st place for the latter suggests that Skoda is well ahead.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 22nd)

Sporty image helps and hinders SEAT. It leads to decent results for driver appeal, but the trade-off is a poor ranking for ride quality. It was 33rd out of 35 in the latter, so owners want more focus on comfort.
