"Red i" is 110bhp as stated.

That's an SE though..... "S" is only 90hp, but shouldn't have a "red i".

Yeah it is an SE so 110BHp

Has anyone driven one and are they any good?

Drove an Oettinger modified Toledo 110 TDi (135bhp)
Respectably quick but not Fast , not bad ride and handling, frugal

No Scooby, but firmer set up than the equivalent golf. Suspension is same as 1.8 20VT Cupra. Ultimately pretty inert ~ understeer or more understeer - as per every car built on mkIV golf platform.

If it's MY02 or earlier it'll be on 15" wheels with 65series baloons - too much lateral "sproing" over mid-bend bumps. MY03 get 16" with 55series which are much better.

Dashboard lifted straight from Audi A3 with climatronic, electric folding mirrors etc and excellent std ICE.

Not bad performer, but UK Leons denied the TDI150 engine. 50mpg+ easy.

You can get 110BHP Leons that are 'S' models... mine is (Belgian import). TDI badge has a red I and so does the engine cover... Tesco didn't have it listed, but insured it anyhow.

Hey Simon - was gonna mention your 110 "S", but was trying to keep things simple
