"Stonking" Leon FR 184

[alxv]

Hi all, new to the forum. Been reading here for a few weeks now.

I've ordered a Leon FR 184, the 5-door. Was looking at quite a few different ideas for my next car, ranging from an MX-5 or a Z4 to a GTI or a Mazda 6. In the end the Leon swung it after:

• The test drive left me with a big grin
• Evo magazine described the torque as "stonking"
• The economy looks great for the performance
• I found a lease deal that a reviewer described as "stonking", as they were getting rid of the last MY15s

It's in Emocion Red, with the Tech Pack. Coming from a 2004 1.5 litre diesel Clio, I'm looking forward to having some power to play with!

Update: the car was delivered yesterday!

Very happy with it from the ~150 miles I did on the day. The in-gear overtaking ability is great, and (for me) the interior feels very refined.

It's the MY16 as well by the looks of it which I wasn't expecting.

It's not particularly smooth changing from 1st to 2nd at the moment, but that may change over time so I'm not worrying yet.

Looking forward to doing some more miles at the weekend!
