So am I reading this right. The birth of the DSG box in the 170bhp FR diesel?

 

[Maximus2000uk]

Sounds like it, although Skoda have had it for a while, as I believe have VW in the Golf.

In picture number 4, the grille has the new small "S" and also hexagonal mesh behind it. Me likes, me wants. How would I go about getting one, assuming the bonnect is the same shape and it will fit?

 

[Moley RUFC]

Whilst the bonnet may be the same size surely the front bumper being changed means it won't fit?

 

[ZBOYD]

According to the press kit, they are rolling out DSG across many options.

2.0TSI (211 hp) FR - 6 speed Manual or 6 speed DSG options
1.8TSI (160 hp) will be equiped with a 6 speed manual or a 7 speed DSG


2.0TDI Common Rail (170 hp) FR - 6 speed Manual or 6 speed DSG options
2.0TDI (140 hp) - 6 speed Manual or 6 speed DSG options
1.9TDI (105 hp) - 5 speed Manual or 6 speed DSG options

My mind was made up to leave the Seat ranks when I choose my new car in January and then they pull out the DSG for the diesel FR..........

I like the normal blue leon in the pics, but to me the new FR front bumper is too soft and not as aggressive as the old current model.

I just hope the delay in the Cupra model means that the bumper at the front is different to the FR but i doubt it

Love the fact the FR has the newer TSI 211bhp engine (same as Mk6 Golf GTI will have) and that the 170 common rail TDI and DSG box have finally been added

 

[smerko]

I take it the Cupra update will be soon after then? Interested to see what they have in store for that and why they can't release it at the same time?

That was my feelings on it too.. I love the current FR bumpers, were part of what drew me to the car, makes it look really aggressive from the front!

designed by the guy that did the lambo gallardo and it shows!!

Just a couple of points it says in the review that "The 211bhp 2-litre TSI FR improves acceleration to 7.8 seconds" I thought the current one did it in 7.3?? and it also says in the review that the new 211bhp enginge brings along higher running costs, when it is suppose to be cleaner, hence less on the road rax and does more mpg???

I pressume they mean 6.8 seconds and it was just a typo.

 

[DaveysFR]

Yeah reading the review again I'd say its meant to be 6.8 seconds. They were refering to the fact that it would be more costly to run that the diesel FR I think.

 

[carlt69]

Whatever they meant I want one in Black this time maybe

They better be doing discounts on them or I will not be pleased!! haha
