Sorry for yet another what car thread but I have at least narrowed the choice of my next car down to 2!

Both are similar priced (though leon would be about a year older), similar mpg, leon is a bit quicker, astra's ride slightly better are my conclusions from test drives at weekend.

I agree the Seat. Much nicer car overall.

I'm quite impressed the Astra is polling as high as 8 percent.

I'd rather walk than have an Astra. Just get the Leon.

There really isn't any choice.

(my thoughts)
"hmm what are the choices?
Seat Leon or vaux... Seat"

As above, really. I'm amazed we've got 11% in favour of the Astra! Snap decision, this one.

Anything short of the Astra VXR isn't worth entertaining, and even then I'd look to Focus ST first.

Go for the Zanussi. No, hang on, go for the Hotpoint. Definitely the Hotpoint. Or does the other one have a longer warranty?

Have any of the Vauxhall-haters driven the new Astra?

Admittedly, I voted for the Seat but still, the new Astra is meant to be good.

Is there an option for something ligher or more interesting?

I don't like the Seat, and though the Astra impresses as a motorway/family car it is a bit too heavy and safe to be any fun.

I don't like Astras and would ordinarily plump for the Seat but after having driven a (last gen) Ibiza and a horrifically boring Altea XL, the term "soulless" springs to mind and I think I would say "neither".

Wouldn't personally choose either, but if I had to choose, it would be the Seyat.
