Hi guys,
I've been shopping around for a new (to me) car since my company have mandated a return to the office 2 days a week and my commute will be 1h 15m each way. I narrowed it down to a few pretty similar cars (Leon 2.0L 184ps, Golf GTD, Volvo V40 D4, BMW 120d) and have done a little test driving of some of these. I went to look at a 2017 Leon FR technology with 40k miles yesterday and I really enjoyed the drive. It's up for sale at £12,990 and I'm really considering pulling the trigger on it today.
I was just hoping for some general thoughts on the reliability of these, whether they would be fairly economical for the long drive, whether you enjoy driving yours and if there is anything I should be wary of before buying it? It seemed to be well looked after, FSH etc. I did ask about the cambelt change as i'd seen that this would be due at 50k miles but the service guy said that new information had come out that these are now due at 150k or something.
Thank you!
