Evening.
At the moment I'm driving a Superb 170 Diesel, which goes back next July (company lease car). I've almost decided on a Octavia VRS but have started looking at a Leon FR, either the hatch or the 'estate'. I have looked at the Octy but not the Seat yet. Does anyone have any real-life experience on both of these, including handling, space, kit etc. The Leon seems to be about £50 per month cheaper to lease which means I could get some options smile The Leon also has a lower P11D and emissions so would be cheaper for me to run. The VRS has a VRS button though which could make the deal smile

Test drove them back to back last year and the Leon interior seemed a bit low rent compared to the Octavia's. Other than that very little between them!

I would assume the Octavia was bigger and had more space. The new Octavia is only about 4 inches shorter than the Superb.

I'm favouring the VRS but don't want to jump at this before I've looked at other possibilities.
