playing the waiting game...

I just ordered a 2.0TDI Sport in Lluvia blue, along with the MP3 option, xenon's, auto dim mirror and rain pack. Now I just have to wait approx 12 weeks to get it!

Dealer was surprised I wanted the xenon's as nobody had ordered those through them before!? I was also surprised to hear that. They did a search of UK stock and there were no black Leon's with the xenons either. Perhaps its cos its expensive at £765 from Seat (only £510 on the Golf V). Hopefully it'll make it more desireable in the future.

Roll on December.

Amazing that vwsurfbum! I had a ride in a mate's Polo GTI a couple of years ago and loved the extra light from the xenons, especially in dipped beam (its rare for me to need full beam).

The sport was a great car to test drive with a load of ooomph. Getting back in my Toledo V5 was a shock, sure its a swift motor but it lacked the kick in the back the TDI had.

I didn't seriously look at the DSG option, although there are times when I'd like an auto for stop-start traffic. Perhaps if I'd have test driven one I may have been keener.

Haven't given re-mapping this one much thought and wouldn't really entertain it until the engine settles in. Fuel economy is playing a part in this cars role, plus it'll be my first oil burner so I hope it lives up to expectations.

Sure might be one of the first with the xenon's on the street. The dealer had already sold 2 Leons before mine, not bad considering they're not officially UK launched yet
The black TDI sport had its red cover in place as mentioned in someone else's posting. They also had a 30min or so feature playing from dvd on a nice Samsung LCD tv - Jason Plato and a female swimmer (Lucy something) talking about the Leon.

Getting nearer now!

I just had the call to say that my car has been built (on the 24th) and that it should be with me in November. Naturally I'm happy about that
