2004 Seat Leon Cupra TDI
Discussion
I am now in to the fifth year of ownership of my Spanish smoker. The thought of getting something new does creep in every now and again, but the Leon has so many of my boxes ticked as a daily it's hard to know what I would replace it with.
I bought the car at a steal of a price when the cars sales were hit hard at the start of the recession. It had had just the two owners. The first as a company car for someone who had their own business. When they bought it new they had treated it to nearly every option like leather and cruise control, plus it had a Becker headunit with a Ipod and handfree bluetooth phone kit all wired in. The second owner was a biker who never drove it, so couldn't justify keeping it.
When I first bought it, it had just under 80000 on the clock and came with full Seat service history. It really had been impeccably loved. I've switched to a local specialist now. But, it just flew through it's most recent MOT yesterday with a just about run in mileage of 126000.
It's been hands down the most reliable car I've ever owned and I still enjoy driving it everyday. It's cheap to run, with cheapish road tax and still looks good today IMO. The next car will have a lot to live up to.
