Just got mine, isn't it a great car.

enough torque to pull the hide off a reindeer and handles like a decent track car.

Just need to do discs and pads and it will be bob on.

Just got mine too and I love it. Had an Ibiza for 4 years before this one though - been fantastic

Hey Cliffie, did you go offline so that you could go out and skin some reindeer?

I agree with the torque. I got the DSG and it don't want to stop pulling right through the gears in Drive. Seamless.

I need to keep my calm on this one as it is my everyday car and I am building a race car which must take all of my modding monies.

Still, I like the idea of a set of grooved discs (which will do nowt for the braking performance but look sooo cool) and a decent set of pads.

What did you have before mate? This is the car I have now

The difference in speed will probably blow me away - i'm currently 0-60 in 2 days (12.3 secs) and only 95bhp

I have a 2.0 TD Mondeo from the company but they are canning the whole company car policy so I was left to my own devices to chose and fund a replacement.

Me and the wife have always liked the S2 Leons and this came up at a dealer a friend works at.

I also have a Nissan people wagon and the VX220 race car.
