Hi from another new owner...
Changed from an Octavia VRS (2ltr Petrol) to a Leon 5dr FR 1.4 ACT150 with a bundle of goodies...
Didn't need the size of the VRS any more - just me and the other half now, and it was a bit of a tight squeeze to get out of the VRS when it was in the garage, so was looking for something a bit smaller without going down the Astra/Focus route... looked at lots of other makes, but kept on coming back to the FR - just something about it that made me put that top of the list...
Pre-registered in Jan this year so got the bonus of £30 annual road tax, which is nice... now got it up to just under 900 miles so still running it in, but pleased with it so far....... Seems to have a minor flat spot as you engage the clutch to pull away, but I will get that sorted when it gets it's first service, unless it gets worse as it loosens up, in which case a dealer visit will be in order.
Prior to the Octavia I ran a 350BHP STI Scoob as my daily drive for 6½ years, so the FR's fuel economy is a nice bonus as well......... The VRS was good on fuel, but this FR is way, way better.....
So far - very pleased....... long may it continue
