Saw one of those a few days back. The Leon FR is actually quite common around these parts since it’s just a trim level. The Cupra on the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.

It’s a great looking car, isn’t it?

Yes it is. And the fact that they managed to make something that fit really well into that market, while still being very pretty, understated and different from the rest of the crowd is a very, very nice addition to a really nice car. I would definitely pick a Leon over a Golf or an A3. (Though I would probably still go with the Peugeot 308)

Yeah. It’s a pity we don’t them here in the U.S.

Neighbour had a non FR bit 1.4TSi SEAT Leon as a courtesy car while he waited for his VW Eos to come. He said he loved it and if he’d of tried it before going for the Eos he would of certainly bought a Leon.

Here a couple of days before being handed back being cleaned by me.

A guy at work has the same car and engine as the neighbours courtesy car and loves it. It’s compact, reliable, rapid, etc...

That’s an Ibiza. The one I had as a hire car was OK, but not very interesting. It might be better with the TSI and twice the HP though.

Doh. Why the hell do I keep calling the Ibiza a Leon, even when the badges on the back clearly say it’s an Ibiza.

Colour me stupid. But my neighbour loved it none the less. The colleague at work does have the Leon though (checked, Lol).

The 1.4TSi we had in the Mk2 Superb estate is the same as in the SEATs. Really good engine and won many awards.
