Hi John,

Very – I’ve actually quite a bit of personal experience in this regard. My family has had nothing but Leons for some time and we have, honestly, never had a day’s bother with any of them. You do need to check a few things – watch for excessive black smoke from the diesel versions, listen carefully for any suspension knocking or clonking and if the brakes feel rough to use it means the front discs are warped. Also, be aware that the interior on the 2005 to 2012 model is a bit cheap and marks and scratches easily.
