Doubt there are many or none atm. I ordered mine in November and should get it by the end of this month. Long wait and I hope its worth it 
Because they're new and most people go for the proper 2.0T version anyway
No offence lol.

No offence taken. I ended up taking the 1.4TSI due the price and fuel economy. 1.4TSI FR with the equipment I chose to buy cost me 21.5K£ here in Finland and 2.0 TSI manual with the same equipment would have been 26K£. Big difference in my opinion. Fuel prices and the tax you have to pay from the car are bit more than there

If only they sold it in Ireland I'd buy one. Like Joens for me it would be price and economy. The 2.0 FR is €36K, looking at the price of the UK 1.4 FR it would come in around the €25K mark. Pity they won't.....
Your doin sumthin wrong mate! Ive had mine up to 56 even on a short ish trip. Btw There are afew tsi owners on here regularly. None that i know of with frtsi tho!
Hi
Fellow 1.4 TSi driver here (1.4Tsi Sport) along with a few others on the site, notably BigBadJay
The 1.4 TSi engine is a good engine, it’s relatively powerful for its size and economical.
When you consider the 1.6 Zetec engine in the Ford Focus is 100BHP, against the stated 125BHP of the 1.4TSi on the Leon, its got a fair bit of poke.
Mine feels quick enough and has enough poke for the traffic light grand prix
I regularly see between 30 - 32mpg on my commute to/from work, which is a 14 mile round trip from home into Manchester city centre and back.
The most I’ve had is 54.6 mpg on Christmas day 2011 driving home from Sandbach, using the M6/M56/M60, doing a constant 60mph on cruise control sat in the left lane.
If your constantly on the power with a right foot made of lead and having it on boost with the turbo kicking in all the time, you wont get anywhere near the manufacturers stated consumption figures.
Can't fault mine, its been really impressive so far, i'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised

Is the FR now the same as what the "sport" was, and the FR+ what the FR was? I suppose its good news for new buyers you can have FR trim and not be restricted to big units.
Also what trim do u get led rear lights with, fr,fr+ or both?

Yep, 15-20 mins the other morning for any sign of any heat, then a further 15-20 mins for the temp to reach 90. . .
