m0rk's 2011 Leon Copa

[m0rk]

Well, it's not "mine" as such, it's my wifes - to replace out Leon Cupra 1.8T as the sensible car we've collected this SEAT Leon Copa 1.6TDI DSG this afternoon.

It's nicely specced up inside with the RNS310, parking sensors and all the other 'Copa' additions. I was a little concerned speccing the DSG without testing that engine with that gearbox, but it's ace. Smoother than my Cupra (which is already smooth)

Initial driving this evening reminds me what a pleasure a 'not' SEAT Sporty suspension setup is to drive. I'm not convinced we all need boneshakers!

Looking forward to running it to the South of France in a couple of weeks time (I doubt it'll be run in by the time we get there)

nice take it it will be staying standard ?

 

[m0rk]

Sensible daily does promote non molestation. Reliability, noise, comfort sadly are all real considerations for this car for putting the miles on. We kept the 'old' Leon fairly standard, and it was better for it IMO

Nice, looks like its gonna do a wheelie in that first pic
However, as you say low and comfy dont usually go together.
The Cupra up for sale now then ?

 

[ZBOYD]

Very nice, has Lorna got a look in yet

You've chosen a colour to keep you busy, did mine today, it's like the forth bridge but still looks ace when it's clean and shiny.

She drove it home.... then we went out

First choice was Track Grey, then I'd have gone Speed Blue, but I didn't get to win that one! So black it is. Hoping that with copious preparation & waxing it'll be 'easier' to keep clean

 

[ZBOYD]

Mine still comes up pretty trick, the key is not to wash em to often

The Cupra up for sale now then ?

Soon, I need a few jobs to complete so I'm happy to sell it on. Nothing major, but I might as well do them

 

[dholdi]

I'd feel the same, cant sell stuff knowing there is something wrong.

It was only when we ordered it I realised how bad the SEAT geeking had gone when this is Number 10.

Nice one mate. Looks good and decent specc too.

 

[CGD217]

Nice one, looks pretty nice and the extra options it has etc. seem pretty good.

Spotted this morning when I looked out the bedroom window that they forgot to remove all the wax from the roof yesterday.... so I'll have to do that today (neighbours will know I'm mental washing a car with 50 miles on the clock)

 

[TOMCRUZ]

Whats the difference about the regular leon and thins copa?

 

[m0rk]

Sort of a run out model, based on the S or SE (SE in this case) with spec upgrades

Copa PR

Just been out & deactivated the corner fog lamps, and reversing fog lamps.

For some reason I couldn't do the DRL's, and although the option was there to activate staging (and it took it) neither are working

 

[jc_boc]

That's a pity, staging would be awesome hehehehehe.
