No 2.0TFSi yet, it's out later in the year (I think). FR currently has 2.0TDi putting out 170bhp.

HeHe, he asked for pics tho, I meant no-one will have one on the drive, not to ur reply, lol!
On a side note, are they going to put a 2.0TFSI engine in a Altea?

Oh, I get what you meant now
I'm sure I read that the 2.0TFSi would be out (in Europe) in July, but I'm sure someone will correct me
Someone screamed for pics ... here you go ...

PDaddy, justa word of caution, make sure you're happy with the front seat design. I test drove the Altea Sport and the Leon and was much happier with the seats in the Leon. The Altea's are narrower and pinch you in place with their bolsters on the sides. After a 30 min test drive I found this very uncomfortable. This is obviously personal preference but worth checking !
Always wise to have a serious test drive, the longer the better. I would imagine the Altea Sport seats might be a bit restrictive for some. Mind you , very good at holding you in place on brisk corners.

Oh we seem to have discovered that as a male one has to stick ones hand down ones pants and drag stuff around before getting into the Altea else one can find that things can get painfull if you don't... well I do or you get in and out and re-arrange. Glad someone else has this problems and it just isn't me who is well endowed down there
. LOL. Perhaps one needs special Altea underwear 
... I'll just wait for that advice.
these alteas really shocked me, we had a 1.9 tdi 105 bhp one last week, it was certainly pey and felt more like 130bhp because of the gearbox i assume being only 5-speed.
But 5 up it cruised at 120 no probs.
It was also driven with a lot of verve and handled like a hot hatch.
Only hing we found was the bias for the brakes was a little too high on the rear, on quite a few occasions the rear locked up ( ABS????)
But after being taken round a large roundabout where the local bikers practice there knee downs at nearly 70mph continuouslly, i can vouch for the handling.
Oh and hey do superb burn outs, so be interested to see what the FR is like

I have Altea 2.0TDI sport almost 2 years. The car was great and have great handling. Now I got Altea 2.0TDI FR. I have not yet pass 1000miles so I am little gentle with gas pedal but the difference is obvius. The engine is not to well responsive below 1800rpm, but when turbo grabs the acceleration is much more stronger so owertaking is very easy job.
I also noticed that engine noise is less robust.
The suspension is stiffer but the car is much more controlable in the corners.
The seats are more comfortable that in the previus car.
I will write a little more when I pass 1000miles

But does it have a DSG in FR mode .
I'm getting my love affair back with my Altea DSG after having it parked up for three weeks whilst I went on holiday. It's an easy affair with the growl of the engine as you rattle through the automatic box as you steer out of junctions etc and those petrol heads with gears loose which gear they are in. Then the Mercs burn all that nasty smelling egg stuff and you think I'll get them on the next hill and you over take at 80 MPH after they are running out of puff.
I do toy with the boy racer dudes Ant FR in a new town roundabout system since I do know that I'm going to beat them through the system in accelateration from roundabout to roundabout as they stir their boxes by hand - LOL.
