2002 Seat Leon 1,6 SPORT review from Greece

"At last, a serious"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at all!

Hopefully to keep up this way for the years to come... (there is a Greek saying that goes like "a good day can be spotted early, from the morning")

General comments?

Finishing a summer tour of 2500 kilometers in the northern Greek mountains, the picture is getting clear : At the first part of the trip I've tested the car at a very difficult journey from Igoumenitsa to Alexandroupoli (west to east border approx. 850 km) through all the Pindos mountains passing an endless line of trucks, having second and third gear up-high 4500 - 6000 RPM without noticing even the slightest sign of "complain" or "disapproval" from the LEON.It just kept on climbing the mountains and passing the trucks without giving me any ground for second thoughts about it's built and reliability.

The second part was from Alexandroupoli back to Athens approx. 900 km mostly on Freeway. Anyway, keeping an average speed of 140 - 150 km/h, it took my back and waist only one stop for lunch to keep up happily with this distance-muncher. Needless to say that the above is a totally noise-free travelling speed.

Reaching the 7500kms service the car is in perfect shape, never "grinch-ed" or "made a sound", the engine sounds more "free" and the smile grows bigger on my face every day...
