It looks as if I will have to get a company car, and on my allowance the only car I could find that would be a little bit exciting is the Leon Cupra Diesel.

Anyone have any experience of these?

Thanks

I've got a Leon Cupra R. Got it chipped and it goes like **** off a shovel, in a straight line
Heard good things about the oilburner version. Would easily munch the miles on the motorway, just don't expect a very involving drive

my brother has one- its superb.

I still keep the turbo, so not too bothered by an involving drive.

6-8 week wait though

Hi Dave

A mate is about to get one, the 150BHP i understand. He was really impressed with the driving experience and the torque.

Great build quality and not bad lookin' IMHO

davyboy

Sounds promising!

Cheers

my brother got one on the road in 3-4 weeks at 14,500 inc paint and cruise from a seat dealer.

The wife has just bought one - cracking value for the money.

Onviously not as fast as my WRX PPP but still feels nippy enough off the line and cruises at 'motorway speeds' very well. Once moving the pick up is impressive (more so if chipped I would guess) and not a million miles away from mine.

Now that is has 5000 on the clock it is returning 45mpg on a mix of open roads/traffic. Fuel economy is improving quickly with the miles.

Standard spec is very good and overall it is a comfy place to sit for long journeys.

Down sides - I don't think the handling is brilliant. In no way is it bad, just not its strongest point.
There are also criticsms of the dealer network and build quality but these seem to be aimed at most cars nowadays.

Test drove one today....its "alright".

I'll have to take a look at what others have to offer, but I'll probably order one in red.
