'CUPRA's Leon is one of the best of all the current crop of hot hatches, and certainly one of the nicest to live with.' Sounds like it'll be missed MarkRJPearson?
, one of the most impressive and versatile of the latest crop, graced my driveway. For me, its mixture of sporting performance, family-friendly practicality and a smart and upmarket appearance ticked every box and must, therefore, in its way, make it the best car in my world.
To drive it was eager, sweet and faithful, with quick steering and plenty of grip, and with a ride that was impressively comfortable for something so orientated towards performance. And it was well equipped. I chose the mid-range VZ2 trim, which included 19in alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, a 10.0in touchscreen with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera and front and rear parking sensors. Elsewhere I benefited from sporty bucket seats, which were both comfortable and supportive, and a neat perforated and flat-bottomed steering wheel, which felt good to touch.
Affordability? Well, my car had an on-the-road price of £36,155, including the options, or it would have been £35,125 without, which is a fair bit cheaper than the subcutaneously similar. In its time with me, it averaged 34.1mpg, which is not at all bad a figure for something that spent a lot of its time in urban traffic, only occasionally enlightened by the odd motorway or A-road blast.
