SEAT Leon - info on the engines?
Can you please tell me if the 140PS 1.4 TSI engine is the SEAT version of the ACT Volkswagen engine, with a cam belt, or a standard engine but with higher rating?
Also, is the 1.8 Seat Leon petrol engine a new one, and, finally, do you still rate the new Leon highly?

1.4 TSI 140 ACT is belt cam. 1.8 is chain cam. I have not yet driven the new Leon, but my testers rate it.

Quality and refinement are impressive. Great to drive with sharp handling. Shares same base as contemporary Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
