Hey guys! - Few questions

[Alistair14]

Hey guys, I've gone and got the good idea of getting a leon, I've got one or two in mind but is there anything to look out for before buying it? and are they easy to drive is my next question, I've driven a fair few cars but I've never been close to one of these

thanks!

welcome to scn
there's not much to look out for just the normal. Door seals on a mk1, but its a easy fix if you get a good price.
I find my car very easy to drive. Depends what your used to.

Welcome

I copied this onto my ipad and took it with me when I bought mine:

And as said above it depends what your used to. I had never owned a turbo powered car and I took me a week or two to get used to feathering the throttle as the turbo kicked in, but it wasn't difficult.

I believe theres also a guide for the mk2 now if thats what your looking at

thanks! Its a 2002 model with 95k miles so thats kinda good!

I drive a 1.6 zetec focus atm, but ive driven a few turbo cars and kinda used to it, does the boost come in quiet hard/fast on these or is it gentle?

so many questions, I've never actually owned a turbo car so idk how to get used to it

Really easy to drive, as standard they are quite gentle, nothing overboard but still quick when they need to be.
If its had a remap or any engine work done then they can become quite aggresive, revo maps are very aggresive on boost whereas others can be a lot more gentle but still have the excitement there
