Hello
Im pondering about buying a leon FR diesel.
At the moment i own a 57 civic 2.2 icdti, which is nice and quite nippy so long as you get the revs correct.
However comming from a fiesta ST to the civic was a little bit of a let down, i miss that instant punch of power and good handling.
The civic for me seems a little to refind and it handles like a dog.
So as topic title, im thinking about a newish FR 170, on paper its very close to the civic in terms of performance however the engine produces 30bhp more and it slightly quicker i understand.
Can anyone give me advice on which reg to go for, have there been any minor revisions ect from year to year?
Anyone went head to head with a civic 2.2?
One wierd thing is a had a loan of a leon 2.0D sport and tbh it felt quicker than the civic even though its 0-60 is a second slower.
At the end of the day im after a little more poke than the civic, will the FR do the job?
cheers people
