Ya no problem getting the mk4, popular car....have only been driving golfs for the last 6 years so looking to change....like the idea of starting at 225 bhp from standard as I know the car was designed from day one to handle it....don't really want to modify too much much...know the stage one would bring around the 200 mark...by the time I pay for remap, travel etc and the mk4 I'd prob have the cupra

If u want a 225 then its either cupra r or s3 tbh I'd get a pre face lift s3 for same price as a cupra r and it will be cheaper on tax if u get 1 pre 2002.

Tax system for cars pre 2008 are based on engine cc...was the Audi 1.8t aswell? If it is then tax will be the same...looked at the Audi and the 4 wheel drive was a bonus....liked the 4 door aspect of the Leon...kids etc
