Hi thanks for replying unfortunately its a bit late as I have already bought the car! I managed to whittle it down from a few others and got some opinions and was happy that a leon was the next best option for me.

So ive got myself a Leon SC 1.2 TSI SE TECH model. only paid 8 and a half grand for it, 2 years 3 months old and it had about 23000 mile on the clock bit of a bargain I thought!!

Is the forum always this quiet? Coming from the official Ford Focus Owners club its not quite as busy.
