    Leon CUPRA 290 Lux stopping production

    So I'm being told the Leon CUPRA 2019 290 Lux is stopping production, I was told the last of them are tickling through now but that's it for production. Yes I did do a search, didn't see anything? Is this just someone trying to lease me a non-Lux car to get the deal? Or given the new Leon...

    Why buy an FR instead of the Ref Sport??

    OK well I have a dilemma;- Looking at nearly new cars the cost is fairly similar and I like the look of the RefSport with Aerokit and I could afford a remap. A remapped 140 shouldn;t be much slower than the FR Tdi170 so are there any other reasons I should go for the FR? Anything I've...
