nice choice mate, how you finding it

The car is absolutely brilliant, I had a Leon FR Tdi (Mk2) and I test drove one with 17"'s on, and specced 18's, worst decision I have ever made, it was awful, terrible ride.  The then Gf liked it as well (nuff said)

The lack of visibility gradually gets to you, when tested it was ok.  The DPF saga worried me, I never had the light but had the Re-gen happen a few times, and i believe it is not a warranty item.

The main reason I got rid though was although a quick car, i am not a Diesel driver at all, first one I had.  Only bought it as a economy drive, but.................

Still lost a few £ on the car, but more than made up for it on the Ed 30 price.  More than happy with he Ed, and look forward to driving it, more than i ever did with the Leon.

Things like the handbook having a slot in the GB, the bonnet having lifters, the fuel cap lanyard being long enough to reach the fuel flap, so you can clip it when filling up.  The dash fitting correctly, mats that have restraints that actually keep them in place, a nice quiet engine, Decent steering wheel and gear Knob.  These are all small things that I missed when I bought the Leon.

Looks far better than the Cupra as well! :smiley:

Cheers for the welcome, and where in the country are you all, I am in Hampshire and somerset.  (work and home.)

Again many thanks for the welcome.  I work in Gosport, and live down this way during the week.  Pays the mortgage!

The car is great, I travel home via Six-Penny Handley across the tops there and have given it a bit of stick.  so much more fun than the FR. :evil: :grin:

One problem is the noisy on left hand down Steering rack, I have had it back and they are waiting for instructions from Germany. apart from that one of the sill decals has lifted on one edge, but small things.
