I've been reading these forums for a while, since I was interested in buying a Leon a few months ago. These forums make for quite an interesting read whilst I'm at work

I'm getting the FR 184 TDI, in Technic Grey, and they've finally sorted out a delivery date for it, 30th June, I'm so excited!

Don't see too many Leon's around my way, which is a good thing a guess.

Welcome to SCN, so where is your way then that has few Leons?

 

[MannyMike]

I'm from South Manchester, don't see many round here, venture a bit further out and they are a regular sight. Can't wait to get mine as I'm coming from a Citreon C2 (07).

Great choice mate! Had my technic grey 184 for a month and a half now and i am absolutely in love with it! Quite a few Leon's around here in Leeds/Bradford but most are SE spec and are white/black, only seen one other technic grey FR in my travels.

Stunning colour and after a good wash and wax it looks outstanding!

Nice! Hows she been generally? I don't think I'll be getting too close to the 67.5 mpg as it officially states as I'll be too busy flooring it everywhere in sport mode.

Shes been brilliant. My drive to and from work between Leeds and Bradford is a usually horrible drive, mad sprints between roundabouts and traffic lights in fairly heavy traffic were horrid in my 15 year old 1.2 Clio but in this its so much fun! Mine lives in sport mode now as i am now the daily winner of the leeds bradford grand prix and i need to keep hold of my title haha

Even then im averaging between 35 and 40mpg, on longer runs im getting 50 comfortably.

Love it to bits!

Hahaha hopefully I'll be challenging for the Manchester M56 southbound trophy soon enough. Good to hear you're loving it so far

I can't stop looking at photos of it at work! Might need to stop and actually do something productive today!

Don't think I've seen the ST in the whole of Greater Manchester yet either...

 

[andrewpain]

I've seen a few round here, even STs?
Even - another black FR (ASDA Bigglewade) and a black SE A1M between J10 and 9 (southbound)
Maybe our local dealers shift more cars?
