Mate had one, wife drives an Ibiza Lovely cars. Good build quality and go like hell. Suspension is naturally quite stiff so expect a hard ride on a Sport model. Stacked up like mad with kit so spend some time making sure all the electrics work before you commit to buy. If your daily routine takes in a few speed bumps test drive the car round an area with plenty. The stiff suspension makes for great handling but if it'll spend all day going over speed bumps I'd take the softer ride of a Focus any day. But for a spacious, well equipped, bang-for-your-buck car, the Leon is right up there IMHO.
