Hi Steve, have been searching the Web for photo's of the new FR, but to no avail. Do you know of any other sites besides the seat site ? Have to wait another 4 weeks for mine to arrive. Seat dealers could not get hold of one to view so eventually just went ahead and ordered. Gone for the petrol 180 in yellow. Any chance of some digital picks of your FR by email whilst I'm waiting for delivery?

LOL, I'd rather buy a Skoda VRS than a Subaru!

Now now, I don't agree that leons are rubbish cars, but I suspect your only downing subaru's because their much more common, but their also much quiker as standard, I know you want to be different, but an impreza turns heads much easier than a leon, by sound and looks.

Seat cars don't handle to well, even the cupra r models. More suited to long motorway runs than back road blasts.

Seats don't handle? Especially the Cupra R's?? What game did you play that on because in real life they're great!?! (exceptions for the Marbella and other Fiat based seats of course!) hehe.

I’ve had a Subaru Terzo model and now have a Leon FR Diesel (does about 52 to gallon compared to the Turzo's 17) now running at 180ish bhp. I'm sure its only about 1.5s slower to 60 and pulls better at some speeds. The Impreza was nice, but too much agro, insurance, tax etc. Got a family now so spend the money I've saved on nappies, but I can still have loads of fun in my diesel. I did leave one guy in his impreza on the A6 near Buxton so its no good what car you have if you can't drive it well. I was surprised with one car I drove and that was a MG ZT V8 loads of grunt and I think quicker than the impreza (not from stand still) and the guy that’s got it is going to fit a supercharger, so I’ll have another go after he has fitted it.
