If you do go for the Leon then make sure its the 210 or 225 bhp version as both are nearly identical, Insurance is more expensive on the 210 because it dosnt have the added bonus of a Tracker which the 225 has

The price will drop quite a bit on the Leon now as the new one has just hit the showrooms, not sure when the cupra R version will be released
