Hey guys, a few weeks back when I introduced myself as a new member I was planning to become a new Cupra owner. However, plans change and evolve due to the family fleet requirements and basically it'll be a Leon ST, Black Edition. I still want a reasonably sporty family wagon and I like the way it looks having seen one at my local dealer.
Downside of this is that I won't have a Cupra, but the upside is that I keep my much loved E39 V8 for weekend hooning and shows etc.
Anyway, back to the Leon ST. All being well, I'll be ordering the petrol 1.5 TSI 150 (148BHP) and probably with the DSG box.
So, question is, what is this combination of this engine and DSG like, is it adequate for the ST? I don't want nor need rocket ship performance, but I have read that's a reasonably potent mix and no slouch.
Then, here I've read of issues with the 1.5 TSI engine but there are differing opinions also.
Please help, I would really appreciate the forum's input from members with these engines.
Thanks.
