New LEON FR TFSI

[wurzel]

Wow - What a car!! I test drove one this morning for about an hour, and I'm still grinning from ear to ear.

I'm looking to change from my MK1 TDI FR to the new shape FR, either petrol or diesel.

Prior to the test drive I was planning on purchasing the FR TDI but having driven the TFSI (Leon) and the TDI 170 (in an Altea) back to back I think I've been swayed away from the dark side back to petrol!

From what i've seen this morning I think the new leon is a cracking car, the seats are so comfortable, the FR styling looks fantasic and the car seems really well built.

I know the TFSI won't be as economical as the TDI but it feels more "racey" and gives a bigger smile factor.

I've decided on the colour and options now I need to negiotiate a deal....

The deal has been done, I've ordered a yellow Leon FR TFSI with 18" wheels, bluetooth and convinence pack.... Hopefully I won't have to wait too long...

sensible options IMO (no xenons?) the Cronos does look cool when you get used to it

^^ test car - with 17's

No, I felt £870 for xenons was too much, I know they look cool but I just couldn't justify the expense, that and I was trying to keep the cost to change down to 4K.

Yellow is one of those things you either love or hate, my first cupra was yellow and I really liked it so not worried about having another one. Also I think its hard to pick out the FR styling on darker colours.

Get the TFSI, loads more tuning potential

Tfsi Fr?

 

[chungster]

wow Seat actually charge more for the Xenon option on the Leon than VW do on the Golf (£750)

But I gotta say they are worth every penny mate.
