What did you drive before you joined the LEON stable?

Citroen AX 1.1 - basic start but actually quite nippy - well it was half plastic!
Polo 1.3 - special edition in Jade green with alloys - solid but slow
Metro 1.4S - basic trim except improved stereo, 8v engine gave it some go
306 1.6 - liked the car but no power
Honda company cars for last 7 years (mostly Civics), incl previous Type R - great cars, but no 5-door Type R...

Now in Mk2 Leon FR - looks great, goes great and 5-door practicality!

My previous car was an Opel Astra 1.4.
For 5 years and 140.000Km it went well...

Prior to Seat - Evo 9 320 - 12 mpg or 200 miles for £60 of petrol not great when I do 18,000 mile per year

FR TDi (for 30months) 42 mpg

Now (last week) FR TFSI averaging 32.5 mpg very happy nothing wrong with the diesel just wanted to go back to petrol.

After all to be a petrol head surely you need to drive petrol ??

My previous motor was a 52reg Ibiza SE a good little car to have but then i walked into a Seat dealership and fell in love with a Leon cupra 150bhp tdi so i had to have it and what a car then i remapped it to 200bhp oh my god thats all have to say couldn't be happier

i had a volvo c30 se 1.6 before i got my leon fr tdi

Hi i had a Focus ST-2 for the last 3 years before i got my FR. Great car really, build quality not brilliant, performance ok when modified. Just got sick off visiting petrol stations.

Had a 1700 puma. Ace car, handled like a go-cart. Wish in one way i never got rid. Shame the Leon isnt as reliable

Are you kidding?

Leons are far more reliable than any Ford!

You must have had some bad luck there sunshine...

Had the puma for 2 and a half years. Never had one problem with it. Only time it went in the garage was for mot's and services and for a new bumper when someone ran into the back end. Never had a creek or rattle. Yes the leon is a lovely looking car but 2 turbos in a year and bits falling off it and the numerous creeks and rattles that come from it I'd say that the puma was a far better car. Even concidering selling the leon as I can't afording to replace the turbo again if it blows again

First Car
Toyota Rav4 2.0l 4WD

BMW 3 series

My previous car was a BMW M3 convertible.

Due to fuel costs and a new addition to the family I had to change my ride. I looked for something with poke and decent economy.

Ended up with the Leon FR, and very happy with it too.
