    Need help deciding between a Seat Leon 2015 and a Honda Civic 2012

    Would you consider a VW Golf/Audi A3 unreliable? The Leon is basically a Golf/A3 in an arguably prettier body. Its all VW mechanicals

    Tough choice: ST FR 1.4 ACT TSI or 1.8 TSI

    Glad I found this thread, as I'm having the similar dilemma. I sold my 2010 MK2 1.4Tsi Sport as I fancied a change & got a 2012 Volvo C30 2.0L R-Design in May 2016, it was an itch I just had to scratch. But I've acted in haste & repented at leisure! I want to get back in a Leon and have been...

    EU Referendum. In or Out?

    So its nearly time to make that once in a lifetime decision on our EU membership. I am leaning towards out, but this is not to do with immigration. This country of ours has always been welcoming of other people and cultures & this will continue whether we are in or out of the EU.......So here's...

    1.4 TSI - super unleaded?

    I only ever used Tesco Momentum 99/Shell V-power/BP ultimate in my mk2 1.4Tsi sport. It wont do any harm to run on the higher octane fuels. My car ran very smooth on those fuels. For me its not about any alledged bhp gains, its about using the fuel additives in the higher Ron fuels to keep the...

    Ownership method

    Remember, there is no such thing as a 'free lunch'. If a car is offered on 0% finance, all the dealer has done is charged interest on the car over the advertised finance period and added this onto the screen price of the car. There is no point sitting with 'say' £5k in the bank earning you...

    Ownership method

    Ditto, I learned a similar lesson myself and now I won't take out finance on a car. It's cash or cash + trade-in for me now. If you can afford £200, £300 or more a month on a loan, you can afford to save that amount per month for a few years & have cash in the bank to do a deal on a decent...

    Speaker Upgrades

    I upgraded to Vibe slick 6's all round. Great speakers for the cash. You'll also need the autoleads SAK-3103 speaker adaptor rings that are for the Golf of similar age to the Leon, but even these require a little molding to fit
