ordered my Leon FR today, went for TFSI in Crono Yellow with 18" wheels BiXenons with auto-adjust and sat nav, its going to be a hot summer!!!

 

[THE BIG GAS MAN]

Was expecting something a wee bit more radical
Maybe the Cupra will light a flame of passion under my ass

Luv the yellow would look good with the aero kit.
Figures for the diesel are excellent will neeed to speak nicely to the local dealer and get a test drive when they get one in The fuel figures are about what I get out of my 2.0 tdi sport at present, so I wouldn't be to distressed with them.

 

[barnabus]

worth test driving the Altea TDI FR, will give you a good idea of what the leon will be like

 

[diesel convert]

Any ideas on the colour choices for them the crono yellow looks awesome but being close to 40 maybe a little loud.Have a black magic 2.0 tdi sport at the moment fed up with cleaning it but need to as it looks nothing when dirty.

Cool. Do you know the total cost?

......Do you know the total cost?

Have to agree - what sort of money we talking about .....

or am I just going to sit back and have the oldest original leon on here ..//

 

[AoS]

Oh Dear... Not impressed... What's going on with those wheels? They should put original style FR wheels on the new model (any photoshopers?) those are awful... Looks a little like the Focus ST from above.
At least I can quite happily drive my FR and not go 'I wish I had a new one of those' when I see one (if I see one!)

 

[barnabus]

basing costs on the Altea FR at the moment, usually around £500 premium for diesel, should make it about £17,200 max for the petrol FR Leon if this is the case

if you actually look at the focus ST from the front side, as with all new focus, it looks more like the MK1 leon,

would be silly to have the same alloys as old FR, old shape TDI Cupra is the future classic.....rarer than the old TDI FR and better spec!!

so what exactly is worth £1200 compared to the tfsi ?

Full details now up on the SEAT site, the FR is launched today at the madrid motor show.

Me thinks a visit to the dealer is in order. Another 10k or so on my Ibiza and it'll probably be knackered

I do like the red colour, though I've seen a couple of Leons in a nice grey (Zenith?) recently which looked very nice.

 

[dt2thesequel]

Using the colour config thing on that site it makes the FR looks dodgy in grey. Red or black are favourites i'm thinking. Is it me or have the changed the dials to silver from white? Not complaining like it looks better definately.

 

[Ol' Timer]

I notice that the red FR being unveiled at the show has similar wheels to the previous Leon FR. Are they optional ones as they are different to those on the configurator?

[dt2thesequel]

They must be the optional 18's...if they are then they're much better than the style of the standard 17s IMO. I'm loving that in red.

Official UK price from £16995, been announced by SEAT UK, i'll chuck up the full press release in a bit.

TFSI - £16995
TDI 170 - £17,495

Cool. Guesstimate the Cupra will be around the £18500 - 19k mark then.

18" wheels are much better than the std ones.

[m0rk]

I wonder if that's 17k and poverty spec, or 17k & loaded

Normally SEAT's have few options, so I'd expect good standard kit

 

[AndyVTR]

My FR list was £16200+325(met)+160(cruise)+75(wipers).

I paid under £15k.

Anyone not think it's a high price for the FR?
