The way it roars when I accelerate quickly, the overall look of the dash and the aux in socket as standard.
The power from 170 TDI is awesome, yet still very economical - averaging 44 with only 2.5k miles on the clock.
I really like the driving position and sports seats and they have enough adjustments to get comfy for long drives. I expected the suspension to be really firm but I find it does not shake your fillings loose unless your on a really naff road.
The standard aux port is great for Ipod and even better is free - I can not believe that VW charge!!
I have had Seats before and the last one I had around 2000 was awful and kept me away, however, so far this has not disapointed and is far better than the mark 5 Golf I had.
And for me the most important thing the price - I can not believe that I got a brand spanker - TDI FR for the 08 reg for under £16k

What do I like about my new Leon(FR tdi)?
I really like it's looks. It certainly turns heads.
The hidden rear door handles which make it look like a three door.
The performance and handling.
The sports seats - firm yet comfy.
The FR logos on the seats, steering wheel and gear knob.
Even the mpg is not as bad as I was originally anticipating after reading posts on SCN.
What do I like about my Leon? Just about everything! It puts a smile on my face every time I get into it.
I loved my mk1 Leon Cupra 150 tdi but this new Leon is even better!

I like the fact that passengers open the front doors and look for a lever to move the seat's forward...
Gets me every time, and I say nothing until they figure it out!
the way the car handles itself on the track is also very impressive - very grippy...

I think the price is astonishing when you consider the performance on offer. When you consider the capabilities of the Leon against the S3, R32, Ed30, GTi, GT etc... it's just unbelievable value for money. And there is no stigma with the car like with some other hot hatch brands.

I sat inside a brand new Cupra last week at the Stockport dealership, it smelt amazing, better than any other new car I've owned. All covered in cellophane, sweet as.
Sooty torques
Oooh, careful love.......
I love the way it looks, think it is gorgeous. It still turns heads. In fact someone asked me the other night if he could take a pic of my car!
I also love the power in the engine.
Just love my wee car full stop!

Was talking to a guy at work yesterday, who was amazed at the kit you get as standard on an FR, and when i told him about the Bluetooth etc and how cheap that was he nearly passed out.... Mind you he drives a BMW so he is used to being charged for everything apart from the Air in the car...
1. The fact that it goes like stink
2. Still get 40mpg out of it
3. Looks awesome
4. Exclusivety
5. No rear door handles watching rear seat passengers try to get in through the front doors is funny
6. The standard Kit for the price.
7. The smile on my face every time I drive.

I love the steering wheel, the bluetooth function, the AUX in, the driving position and seats.. As well as a lot of other things.
The engine note in my cupra makes me smile as well, and so does the power delivery. Outrunning every GTI i meet is satisfying as well..

How good are the seats in the Cupra version, comfy or a bit restrictive. Do they have lumbar support controls?
