Finally got my Leon FR Delivered!

[MannyMike]

It's the 5 door hatchback in Technic Grey and came with the Tech Pack, Titanium Pack and Convenience Pack. I absolutely love the look of it and the LED lights at the front, even though I won't ever get to see them. Also coming from a pretty nippy Citroen C2 VTS, this feels like an absolute monster The pull is immense even with 5 people in the car! There wasn't even 5 seats in the Citroen!

I'll post some photos later.

Sounds great - ENJOY! Look forward to the pictures later

Almost snap! Lol. What engine did you go for?

 

[MannyMike]

It's the TDI 184 version, wasn't planning to do a huge amount of miles with it, but the sheer amount of low end torque this thing has sold me in the end

 

[andrewpain]

it's a terrific engine.
very quick, but also easy to drive smoothly because of the low-end torque.
would suit a chauffeur/private hire service who also does getaway driving for bank robbers at weekends fort cash money...

I will never, ever come close to the claimed 67.5 mpg they say it does because of my brick of a right foot.

Mines the same but white. A very good car with lots of power on tap and great economy on a run.

Nice. Loving the Technic Grey color myself. Looking forward to pictures.

Congrats! It's a great feeling getting a new car isn't it

My previous car was a 68bhp Citroen C1 so this one feels like a rocket lol

Congrats mate! Same colour and engine as mine!
Had mine 2 month today and clocked just over 2,000 miles from new on it.

After about 1,200 I noticed a definite improvement in economy and performance, it is such a fun car to drive! Exiting roundabouts is a great laugh, the tsunami of torque just drags you away from anything.

I came from a 14 year old 1.2 Clio so it feels like I could enter Le Mans with this thing haha

A little tip as well, instead of using Eco mode, set the Individual to "Steering: Sport and Engine: Eco", the handling in Eco is a bit loose for my liking and Sport gives you a great feel for the car

 

[MannyMike]

It's only been 2 days but I'm already in love with it! Been whizzing in and around Manchester the past couple days and clocked up nearly 150 miles in it already. I just love driving it, and I'm actually enjoying the commutes to and from work! Photos to come this evening if it's not chucking it outside!

Just realised I can't post pics till I post 15 times...upcoming pictures shortly!

i used to get 50-52 combined with a heavy right foot

Here are some pics of my new love. Better late than never I guess.

Kinda wish I had gone for this colour now. I've ordered black instead. Hopefully being built next week, so no chance to change it now!

I've only seen one black FR on the roads before and I think it looks really nice, and mean. Looks like something you'd move out the way for in the fast lane.

Came from the Lightcliffe Seat dealership in North Wales, delivered to my work place with 70 miles on the clock, I'm assuming yours came from there too?
