    I wonder is it 110 Kw? Just guessing tbh.
    Who knows, 110kw is 147bhp. Yet the pdf brochure on seat.ie says the FR has a 184bhp tdi :rolleyes:

    There's also a 181 brake diesel fr on top of the 151. Too many models, seems to be 1.8 petrol too with the 1.4...too many models for what is supposed to be a high end model.

    I like it.

    20 times nicer than a boring Golf. :) More individual!

    OK so me new car is in the country haven't got it yet. I went for white as it was already on the lot. If you actually sat into the car you would see that the interior definitely holds its own. I wasn't a Leon fan at all until I sat into the new one.
    My car (FR) is definitely 150bph and it comes in a 181 as well.
    As for cup holders well its not an issue for me but my god have you seen the list of extras that you get with any of the three specs of Leon, the reference beats most entry level, the style for its price is well worth it especially compared to its sister cars the golf and A3. But the FR spec leaves a lot of cars high and dry. It beats a top of the range ceed and is cheaper. Again was never a leon fan but after a lot of debating, test driving and consideration the Leon definitely ticks most boxes for me. Also have you seen the full LED headlight plus daytime running lights.........love them

    Seat Leon sales have gone up 108 percent compared to the same period last year.

    Probably not hard to grow like that on f all in the first place, lol. I'd say most 12s are fleet/rental.

    Well wear.

    A top of the range Ceed would kick it's ass for spec, but the Leon has the much stronger engine and looks a hell of a lot better too.

    Nice to get a well wear, there seems to be a lot of haters on this thing so thanks! p.s. Leon is also cheaper. Have to give it to Seat they gave me 2100 for mine its only worth around 21 quid plus only 3% finance. So it ended up way cheaper than any other model hence why I went for an FR. Same price as other entry models with more spec.

    For a straight deal you could have got the 2100 off probably, and still get to keep your 21 dolla car

    According to the configurator on seat.ie the FR uses the 110bhp diesel, what a load of balls. How can they give the supposed sport hatch a 110bhp diesel?

    I think thats 110kw which is the same as 150bhp

    Thank you. Actually I like to have the engine in sport mode and the steering in normal. Might sound mad but the engine is quieter.

    Well its up to yourself. The FR is nicer inside and has better seats. I love the flat bottomed steering wheel and the larger 5.8'' screen. The FR also has 17'' wheels, LED lights and twin chrome exhaust. Most of which would be extras on the style model.

    Theres a big difference in the interior and the drive. Have to say the FR lights are savage. But the style spec is a nice car, same as a Golf but much cheaper and definitely more stylish inside and out. So its what ever you are into. I was very fortunate to be able to get the FR but I wouldve been happy with the style model

    I agree, the dealer was trying to show me the Style as I was walking toward the FR. Theres just no comparison. Gettin good mpg lately. 55-60
