Evening all.
I start driving in May (I'm 16 now), and I'm seriously considering getting a Leon (1.4, for insurance reasons). I've seen some that crop up on Autotrader for dirt cheap, with respectably low mileage.
Are they reliable? They use the same engine as the Golf, don't they? I don't want something that will break down a lot, or something that will cost a lot of money to fix. Do they get worse after a certain amount of miles?
Would you recommend one as a first car? They're quite big compared to common first cars, but it doesn't really bother me.
I'm stuck in the middle of choosing a Leon or a Golf (mk4) at the moment, as these two are the cars that I REALLY want.
Cheers for reading!
