Seat Leon

Yep I'm talking about the Seat Leon. I've only recently driven one of these and because this is just a blog I'm not going to review it properly!

You see recently my Ford Fiesta broke down and so I had to take it to get it repaired at the garage I bought it from. As a courtesy car I was given the Seat Leon. It had a petrol powered don't know the litre engine. My car is worth £2,500 and it was worth £26,000. To be honest I couldn't believe my luck!

And then I drove it! Nice though it may be I didn't get too much of a sense of purpose. In fact it felt like I had no senses left (other than sight). It was so quiet and devoid of feel! The steering was so light and the engine so soundless that I thought I may have lost my sense of touch and hearing.

The problem is that my Fiesta and this brand new out of the factory Leon are two very different cars. One is supposed to give cheap transport for people who want a cheap to run car whilst still retaining driver experience. The other is for people who are falling apart! Guess which is which. That's right the Leon is the latter.

And what I want is a driving experience! I think the Leon is a very nice car and I can see why any middle aged man who is slowing down a bit would want one. But I'm 18 and the Fiesta just suits my needs better and so would take it anyday.
