They are comfy, the 130 andd 150 diesels will be quick. They are fairly reliable too

other than power?

Buy my Ibiza, you don't need something Leon sized.
My Ibiza is better on fuel and faster than the same Leon, plus has the correct amount of doors.

I have a 1.9TDi Fr Ibiza and its a brilliant little car, I'm looking to change it soon but just after something slightly bigger  But definitely very good cars, torquey as standard, and I know of one with a remap and filter that made 186bhp, so there seems to be plenty of easy to release power in them

Also you will get very good mpg from the 130 TDi, I'm high 60's - low 70's on a 60 mile a day commute

I shoudl think your real MPG is a little lower than that, those OBC's are easy to trick, I've had adverages of high 80's before.
I get over 40 on a full tank round town, it's really easy to put it in the 50's on the motorway/clear run on a journey at night (round town) and if you try averages of 60+ are possible.
I get minimum 330 miles to 35 litres - most i've ever had OUT OF A WHOLE TANK is 450 miles to 35 litres = 58MPG

Oh and the OBC claimed 61.4MPG for that tank, they love to lie
