Auto journalists will tell you the VW Golf is better built than a SEAT Leon and that the Spanish carmaker doesn't make good cars. But if you want a hot three-door car, do you really care that the plastics are a bit harder?
The Leon SC FR is not a hot hatch in the true sense of the matter, but it's still a nice sporty coupe for a young buyer.
All FR models come standard with 7-inch alloy wheels, LED rear lights, dual-zone climate control, dark tinted rear windows, and FR-specific front- and rear bumpers. You also have a multi-link rear suspension setup, as opposed to the rear torsion beam of less powerful cars.
Since this is a TSI, you get one exhaust pipe on each side and the most powerful petrol engine available in the Leon model range.
The 1.8-liter turbo-four packs 180 PS and 260 Nm of torque (184 lb-ft). You can spec the car with either a manual or a DSG 7-speed double-clutch box. This makes the car both faster (0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds) and more economical (7.1 l/100km city compared to 7.7 with the manual).
