Well I am nearly 3 months in now (ok.. so not long long term) but I had a thought today about my old Focus. I just don't miss it one bit :D

I am now more in tune with the Leon than ever these days. Got the perfect driving seat position I haven't changed for months. Everything just works and the TDI FR performance (when I get a chance to use it) still brings a huge grin to my face :funk:

How do YOU feel about your Leon now you have had it a while?

I love my FR 170 just as much as the day i got it - though you learn more about your car, and I look at it from a different angle now - IMO its a totally different car than the one I bought (if you know what I mean)

I came from a 1.5TD 7year old corsa to a leon fr, so it was like becoming a king to be honest, saying that, I could do with a drive in a heap again just to remind me how lucky i really am..

If I was buying again would I go for the same car? Yes except with the Bi-Xenons as well..

Good so far :)

I had mine repaired after some clown hit me. I had a Corsa for a courtesy. Never been so pleased to get back into my FR when it was returned!

Still loving mine, nearly done 1k now and she's starting to loosen up a little more now. Had a good drive out yesterday, minus the wife and little one. Managed to test her a little bit more than usual. Spent a couple of hours today cleaning her! Looks as if its just stepped out of the showroom!!!

I just love the shape of it, it really turns heads!

It is a totally different beast to the Ibiza Cupra I used to have, which I do miss, but only because I'm a sentimental fool!

I love the Leon for its looks, space and grin factor!!

I've had mine for 18 months and 55,000 miles. Ordered it just a few days after the car was launched in the UK I wanted one that much.

So far on the list of waranty work:

New tweeter and fabric panel on the right rear door
New pressure sensor on the passenger seat
New drivers door mirror
New Engine, Turbo, and Exhaust
New emmisions sensor

But I still love the car, and when it comes up for replacement in a few months (at 2 years old) it looks like I'll be getting another one when I look at the others available in the same braket, just nothing comes close in looks, equipment, and sheer value for money.
