SEAT Leon 1999
5 Stars for 20VT and Cupra. Best looking, best handling car on Golf IV floorpan, with 35mpg economy potential. 130 and 150PS diesels.
Skoda Octavia 1998
Satisfying drive and responsive engines. Decently built. Owners rate them highly. The RS is quite pacy. Practical estate is better than the saloon. Taxi drivers loved the 1.9 diesel and many did 200k miles plus.
Skoda Superb 2002
Old model B6 Passat stretched with extra rear legroom. Well liked by owners, especially taxi drivers.
Volkswagen Golf IV 1998
Comfortable ride, good quality interior, feels solid and durable, very cheap to run TDI diesels, strong image means it will always be sought after.
