The Leon is worth having over the Golf if you can get the 150 bhp engine for the same money as the 122 bhp Golf, as you probably can. It's a great engine, and you're sensibly avoiding the iffy DSG transmission.
I haven't tried the Ford 1.5 petrol engine: hopefully someone else has experience of these. It would be interesting to know if it has had the same problems at higher mileages as the 1.0 Ecoboost.
The Kuga is a much bigger car than the others. If you want the extra space, add the Octavia (hatch or estate) 1.4 TSI to the shortlist.
