Look what just arrived on my doorstep

[gfunk]

yes, it's the 'Limited Edition' Leon 2.0 TFSI Sport.

Will post more pics at a later... maybe after I've been for a spin tonight.

Never had a brand new car before so to say I'm a bit excited is an understatement.

whats the limiting parts of the addition?

looks like different wheels?

 

[Tallpaul]

Think he means 'limited edition' because the Sport has been replaced by the FR.

 

[gfunk]

Yeah, Tall Pall is correct. Because the Sports been replaced by the FR I guess it was a 'Limited Edition' of sorts.

It's really just my way of dealing with the fact that I'm not getting an FR, although I'm not too bothered as it sounds like it's got the same engine anyway.

I have just got back from the south of france in the girlfriends one, and they are excellent! hairpin bends, '000 ft drops.., no problems... 5 days and 2000 miles of pleasure .

Now I am back driving my mk1 and it feels so rubbish except for the power..lol

You will love the sport!.

 

[gfunk]

Thanks Ronnie, unfortunately can't drive it till I finish work but the wife keeps texting me reports as she's out in it as we speak. All good so far.

TFSI sport, good choice mate save the money over the FR while there are still some left ! I have a horrible feeling the FR's honeymoon period is going to be awfully short after the Cupra is unvieled next month, people may think twice about ordering an FR when the Cupra is has been dangled seductively in front of their noses...

 

[gfunk]

Yeah good point on the Cupra. I can't wait to see it even though I can't afford one.

According to the Milltek website 8-10% performance gain.

 

[Syphon]

Cool. Car delivery.

[carl4x4]

oh and may I complement you on your choice in colour

 

[gfunk]

cheers carl, hope you don't mind me copying you )

 

[carl4x4]

You need the chrome mirrors now of course

It's interesting on colour choice, As a rule of thumb the manufacturer will show off the car in it's best colour in the brochure, hence 90% of the Leon's in the 2005/06 brochure being Black. But with the FR I reckon Black will look a bit muted as it won't emphasise the main differentiator between the FR & the rest of the range, which are the deep black inserts in the bumpers. So Seat have chosen to launch the FR in bright colours like Red & Yellow on the press photos to emphasise this.

VW did this with the Golf GTI where the most of the demo cars from memory were Red or white to emphasise the same sort of bumper inserts.

 

[LEON_FR]

wow VIP service get the car dilevered to your door!
I had to go and pick mine up...
Nice car fella!

 

[DanGB]

Im sure I saw you car at the dealers last week, coming off the transporter!

 

[gfunk]

Was it W J King Dan? If so it may well of been.

Service from then has been ok, they don't communicate very well to be honest and sent us the car with out fitting the ipod lead even though we had requested it 3 weeks prior. The parts department sent the wrong one but instead of telling us this and maybe delaying delivery for a day or two they just told us when it arrived.

Apart from that the drivethedeal experience was superb, just some mior gripe with the dealer but I've yet to use one that I've been 100% happy with.

Well chuffed with the car though so that's the main thing.

[DanGB]

Yes it was, my local dealer.

You should be chuffed. Great car it is too!
