Thanks for the replies so far guy's.

Marty - no didnt know it's a compound charged engine.
Its deffo 125bhp, not 160bhp. the advert for the car say's 125Bhp and ive checked the seat website and that say's that particular model is 125Bhp.

id there anything untoward about compound charged engines?...too highly stressed/tuned? and therefore dont last as long

Yeah i did think the interior is a bit bland and the dashboard looks like its been carved out of one block of cheap plastic.
Its not a patch on the relative style of the mk1 focus dash.

even the mK4? focus looks a nicer place to sit and the dash has a more 'quality' feel.

i think its the amount of 'standard' kit on this model Leon that makes you go 'ooohhh'

auto lights/wipers, cruise control, rear parking sensors, on board computer with service indicator sytem, tyre pressure monitoring system, the list goes on..

hmmm need to think before jumping in with both feet!!!
