Morning all... Went for a 'brief' test drive in a 1.8T SC Leon yesterday. Was a manual box version with no toys, but was the engine I wanted to test.
Over all I was quite impressed. The car feels SO different to my MK2 FL, its lighter, handles very well and smooth to drive. Sounds nice when going for it too (sound thingy?) and while it doesn't 'feel' as fast as mine, looking at the speedo I suspect its not that far behind.
However, the one major gripe I had was the suspension. It was FIRM, very firm!!! It felt like my old '07 FR. My current Leon is on Eibach's and it is soooo much more comfortable. Is that normal??
They are letting me take one overnight sometime this week, so I'll get a better feel for the car
