Seat Leon mk1 - Cupra 20v Turbo

[paulmcmillen]

After 3 year with the 172 I'd been on the lookout for something that was a little more practical, quiet and comfy - without being boring! This came up and ticked all the boxes - it's an '03 mk1 Leon Cupra 20v Turbo. TBH it feels like a boat compared to the Clio, but I guess most things would in comparison...

It needs a little tidy up, a few of the plastics inside and out could do with being replaced - but is in pretty good shape.

Looks well with the wheel colour, if it isn't mapped already then try and make that happen, transforms them Good torque from them and I'm getting over 40mpg on my commute into work!

Looks very clean! Love them in red, and the wheel colour really suits it.

As said a remap is worth doing, really improves them!

Lovely, looks in great condition and wheels are nice in that colour.

Thanks! Enjoying it so far, very different from the Clio. Turbo vs. N/A is interesting and will take getting used to!

After spending this year carting the bike around in the back of the stripped Clio, now that I've 5 doors and a full interior I wanted to keep that luxury! I bought the Thule Aero roof rack with a cycle carrier - I was seriously doubting the expense of it but once you start to piece the kit together you know that it is quality. I like how the Leon has mounting points so no ugly feet ruining door seals.

Seriously enjoying the car so far, missing the go-kart feel that the Clio had but this is rather quiet and comfy to make up for that! lol

@cliosportv6 yup still enjoying it! I sense a hint of regret about selling the car coming from you?

Very nice mate.

A rear anti roll bar and some coilovers makes a world of difference to the feel of these if you fancy bringing some of the go karty feel back from your clio days.
