Skoda Fabia or SEAT Leon under pcp

Roberto_gas

Folks...looking for some guidance here.

I am split which one is a better option from above 2. I am seriously considering these cars due to 0% finance option. Also which variant should i go for.

Was looking for a bigger 2010 car, but dont mind going for a smaller new car. Very moderate use for leisure travel over weekends.

Thanks in advance.

The ibiza would be closer to the fabia.

Both great cars. Seat are slightly ahead in the technology curve and have nice styling. Leon looks especially good.

But there isn't a huge amount between them. I have a fabia and it's been great. 100km commute every day. Never missed a beat, good fuel efficiency android auto makes it very versatile.

I'd seriously consider another come Jan as value for money is pretty hard to beat. I put down a 12pc deposit and pay 245 a month so very affordable. Seat is a bit more but like any car if you feel its worth it then go for it.

I got a Leon FR 2.0 2 years ago, still love the car, never disappoints me.

The latest Ibiza has also bulked up a bit, I'll be considering the Cupra next time.

Not a fan of the Fabia. Sold mine recently (2017 reg) as it was starting to become a pain - back to the garage 6 times since I've bought it for niggly bits and pieces, albeit non engine related. That said, a very economical car and great technology in terms of the Apple Car Play.

I had considered changing to the new model Ibiza which are very Leon-esque for much less money but I wasn't getting any form of good value for my Fabia.

I have Leon 2.0 TDI Fr St 3 years next week. 96k km trouble free done. ( Though serviced like clockwork at main dealer-reasonably priced)Not so much as a rattle. Yearly average 52mpg with no effort...more in summer. Great car-handling, ride performance all excellent.
Paintwork a little soft...would get protection coat done...some dealers might throw in. Family skodas, and indeed other non premium marques same issue.
Had new Fabia loaners couple times while mine being serviced- hateful might be slightly too strong a word!

They are in different classes. Leon will be more comfortable, safer and equipped if you are comparing similar trims.

That said Skodas are generally more practical and easier to use than Seat models with stuff like high seating position, more head space etc.

In general Seat brand aims to be sportier brand of VW group while Skoda is more sensible choice due to its practicality and comfort.

I would decide if I want to Fabia class car or Leon class car then pick the model.

I have a leon st 1.6tdi mid spec model. I bought it 18 months old and really love the car - its
great on the small roads for road holding and very comfortable for long drives up the motorway.

I would sound a note of caution buying from new on pcp though as the depreciation on them is heavy. I got mine
(18 months old with 15k miles on the clock) for about 17k which you if you do the maths is pretty shocking
depreciation for whoever traded it in.

Also there's a new leon due next year - the new ibiza might be a good bet as I sat in one last time I was
getting the leon serviced and the main diff seems to be less back seat space (though I didn't drive it to compare)
