Guest dangerousandy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 These are pretty good on fuel! I was driving a black one today. The only thing I dont like about them is the rear visability - not good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind8811 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I like this Leon, looks good and the 'Brilliant White' with sporty body kit looks fantastic!! http://www.automobilesreview.com/gallery/je-design-seat-leon-cupra/je-design-seat-leon-cupra-03.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon F Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I bought myself a new Leon Tdi FR last September and am very happy with it. Seriously quick little car and averages out around 42mpg. A few issues you may find: Dpf filter problems Dashboard rattles Front window seals Ride is very firm on 18'' wheels Bluetooth is not compatable with all phones. These are obviously the exception rather than the norm. I have had no problems at all with mine. Leather is also available from the factory.

Thread here Thanks for the info and the link Gordon I'll ask about the leather upgrade but think it could be quite exspensive from the dealer compared to a guy i know who did my supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My brother in law has a red FR Leon and I can't say I'm too impressed. Horrid windscreen wipers and little A pillar windows. Reminds me of a mini MPV. I am not a fan. He spends an awful lot of time talking about the Bluetooth connectivity and iPod integration and no time at all talking about the handling, looks or performance. Something is wrong there.

markus99 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 one of my mates bought an tdi FR new, quick car, but think his ecu packed up on him after about 5000 miles! Although i don't think that would put me off as it was all replaced and sorted under warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny as i think the wipers tucked out the way is a good idea and out of most of the contenders in this sector think it looks pretty good and not silly money. Im more concerned about quality and reliabilty, i'll check out the handling etc on the test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Had my test drive yesterday and will take delivery of a Black Leon sport on the 1st of July.

A Black one the only thing its not got is leather but thats easily dealt with Already been looking at bodykits and possibly differant wheels must resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are thinking of the factory option have a look at one fitted before you commit. That aside, enjoy the car - they are great fun:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
