But dont you think the Door Armrests in the Leon could be better ?

I drove a 2.0L TDI Leon form London to Belgium and back and by the time i returned my right elbow was amost skinless.{Right Elbow rests on door elbow supports.

Other than that, I agree the Leon is a smashing hatch, much better handling and power when compared to similar priced Golfs and A3s

I think i speak for everyone taller than 6'5" when i say: 'Who cares?'

These vehicles are unacceptable. Too small to be of any real use.

I am 6'4.5", 240lbs and I have absolutely no problem with access and egress with the Seat Leon or Golf or A3 or even Mini for that matter.

There is actually more Front Seat Legroom in a Mini or Beetle than there is in a 3-Series.

So no insult intended but why dont you tell us how much you weigh as that might give us a more accurate insight as to your dislike for small cars.

I have taken my 6'5 friend in my car before with no complaints, and my car is way smaller than a Golf.

The front and rear leg room in the Seat Leon is bigger then hat of a BMW 3 series.

You're nearly 7 feet tall and "pretty big".
And you work on big boats?? The image that comes to mind is quite scary.
You should have a tv show.

And why are there so many very very tall people on this site?? I'm 6'1", and I used to think I was fairly tall...

P.S. I know that these little pocket rockets are of interest to many drivers. I just offered my own personal perspective. Please, ladies and short guys, I understand that you like cars like this. There is no need for deboosting and/or insults.

Just because it are hatches instead of sedans doesn't mean they are small.
