Well after flogging her Ibiza Cupra TDi to some gullible wee lad from the country, @browne174, we started looking for a bigger car.
This Leon FR popped up in Irvingstown from the same chap @Deemc got his Yellow colour collection from a thouroughly bloody nice bloke. After two 94 mile trips there and back we agreed a price and drove home with it.
It's a PD170 and it's going to remain standard powerwise due to the slightly more volatile nature of this engine with regards to DPF issues, so I don't want to tempt fate.
It's loads more comfortable than the Ibiza's rock solid suspension and handling is great with seat that actually bolster you in place. The cabin, despite my negative view to the person that designed the center console having the design skills of a chimp with a paintbrush, has grown on me highly and will look great once I pop an RNS unit of some description in there down the line.
Its had the upgraded Andromeda wheels, Auto dim rear mirror, dual climate, auto lights and wipers, and a few other niceties that make it a pleasure to drive and i's surprisingly fun with a lively rear end and very positive/predictive handling.
I've not given it a full clean yet as with moving house over the last few weeks and being a lazy *******. But I have managed to take the sandpaper to a few scratches out of it and managed to remove 90% of them to a standard im happy enough with.
So here's the pictures of a standard Leon!
