I have to say I am smiling this morning and a big 'well done' to Marshall Seat of Cambridge for some great customer service. I drive a Leon Cupra 180 and have been considering upgrading to the new FR or a Cupra R. Last night I was given a new Leon FR in Emocion Red with 18" alloys for a 3 hour test drive.
I have to say I was impressed. Photos of the new Leon do not do it justice, and in Emocion Red it looks stunning. The 18" alloys are a must for me on the FR, and throughout the 3 hours of driving, I found the car hard to fault. The driving position is better than the MK1 Leon and the chunky steering wheel and comfy seats provide a more solid feel to the car. Loved the power from the petrol and although I have driven the Golf GT 170, I still think the lure of the extra power will mean higher fuel bills for me!
After my 3 hours, I really didn't want to give the car back and was almost disappointed to get back into my Cupra this morning (well, not that disappointed!).
If anyone is undecided on the new Leon, then go and drive it..........it has certainly made my mind up on where my money is going!
Just a question for anyone who had a Cupra 20VT 180.............how do you find the fuel consumption compares to the new FR petrol? I know the 3 hours I drove last night may have involved some 'faster' driving, but it averaged around 27 mpg over the evening.........can anyone comment?

, I also drive the cupra180 MK1 and was looking at the FR on the website and it does look really tasty. Trying to avoid a test drive as I know I will be hooked on it. Also been looking at the special edition Leon Reference with the 18" alloys and body kit 
. Might just hold onto my car abit longer though. Did they give you an offer on your car for part-ex?
