Like a Golf, but not a Golf

[jawillwill]

I'm thinking of getting a new (well not actually new) car. Something a similar size to a Golf, but not necessarily a Golf. Any suggestions?

A Leon is actually a golf but with a different shell. All the parts are golf parts, engine is from a golf etc

 

Probably as close as you can get and usually a lot cheaper.

New Focus's look good and have good reviews

What about an Ibiza? Are they really a Polo?

Great offers on mk6 golfs now the 7 is available to order. Even the gti is available with £2k deposit allowance and 4.9% apr.

Not sure about that. I actually know nothing about cars but wanted a golf and a mechanic mate told me about the Leon. When this question came up, it was the ideal opportunity for me to spout his knowledge and seem clever myself. I wasn't expecting any follow up questions to be honest and now the whole house of cards has just come crumbling down.

Yes, based on the Polo underpinnings. SEAT's, Skodas, Audis and VW's do share parts, the only major difference is that the SEAT's and Skodas tend to use parts/engines that are a generation behind their Audi/Golf cousins.

 

The Leon is fantastic, there is a new one coming out soon though. The Focus is also great, is styled a little fussily.
