Buying a SEAT Leon diesel

I hire these in Spain and France and am impressed. I see that a new model is on its way. I am thinking of buying either a newish old model or waiting for a new model demonstrator. Anyone have a view on what the best strategy might be? Also anyone have any downsides to the Leon diesel?

Big improvements in quality and refinement over previous Leon. Great to drive with sharp handling. Good value. Shares same base as latest A3 and Golf.
