Back to SEAT after a short break - SEAT Cupra.net

20vt Tony · 29-04-2007, 22:22

Evening all,

Just wanted to say hello again after a short break away from Seat. Just traded my Focus ST2 in this afternoon for a brand new Leon TDi Reference sport with the full BTCC kit and 18" BBS wheels on. Looks awesome and the torque is grrrreat. Got in the focus after the test drive and was missing the leon already. Picking her up later this week, so pleased to be back with Seat after having 2 Mk1 leon Cupras prior to the ST. Also looking forward not to having my own personal space at the petrol station anymore. Don't get me wrong the Focus is a great car, but ford were very optimistic when saying that it averaged 30mpg!!!!!!!

You're not the first to make this same move by the sounds of it! In fact, there are people on the forum who have changed from an ST to a Cupra R just to save fuel

Your new Leon sounds superb though. When do you pick it up?

WOW!

It really says a lot when you've changed from an ST2 to a 140bhp diesel..

Good luck, I know im delighted with my 170FR..

Welcome back mate

I did the same. Changed from a Focus to the Leon. Would never go back!

Hi Tony - welcome back.

Would be interested to see photos of a leon sporting the BTCC kit in zenith grey.

Having driven a couple of STs, I could only manage 19mpg and that was with 'normal' driving....

You should pay more attention Fester... he is changing from the best fuel type to that other oil stuff

Oh you petrol guys, you're all talk and no torque

Picking up on Wednesday morning, just filled the ST up with petrol at the weekend, but won't take long to get rid of it!!!!!! Can't wait for Wednesday!!
