Assume by ‘the same level in terms of sport’ you’re referring to the comparable performance and handling characteristics of each model? I doubt there are many owners of the 2.0 190ps Leon on the forum who’ve also owned or driven a current model 2.0 200ps Polo GTI to be able to provide an informed view.
If you’re considering buying one or the other, I’d suggest you take a test drive in each and to decide which would be best for you. At present, in the UK the current (new) model Polo GTI / GTI+ is only available with a DSG transmission, although a manual version is due to be offered, and the manual version has recently been introduced in some non-UK markets. Be aware that current lead times on the Polo GTI are crazy just now - at least they are in the UK. Some members on uk-polos.net forum who ordered a GTI or GTI+ when the order books opened in Jan/Feb this year are still waiting and not expecting to see their cars until after March next year. Some VW dealers haven’t even been able to get a car themselves to use as a demonstrator! There are a few low mileage used examples within the VW network, but they tend to be priced to reflect very high demand and short supply.

The Leon 1.8 FR and Polo GTI will appeal to customers different market segments, so I’d say it’s unlkely many, if any, forum members will have owned or driven both to be able to provide an objective view of how one compares to the other.
If there are any forum members who’ve owned or driven both, I dare say they’ll contribute to this discussion thread.
