New Leon kicks the LCR's ass too, and the ST's. Looks seem to be hate it or love it. Those that loved the LCR hate the new Leon Cupra. Atleast its less boring than the GTI and the interior isnt bad, considering what you are getting for your money.
Got to disagree with you on the interior front. It is singularly the most disappointing aspect of the car. It's like they ran out of ideas when it came to styling the dash - the vast expanse of nasty, grey painted, cheap buttoned plastic aurrounding the hi-fi and air-con controls is hideous.Edited by Poverty on Thursday 4th September 19:55

The last gen Leon used a downgraded A3 interior. It may not have used as high quality plastics as the A3 but at least it was relatively attractive.

The SEAT Leon & by the sound of it this GTI 240 are just remaps of the standard GTI.
Whereas the GTI Edition 30 is a detuned version of the S3 engine, that is capable of at least 265.
I have an article from Volkswagen Driver Magazine that states the fact when dicussing an upgrade to 300BHP by tuners APS.
Anyone interested, let me know and I will send you the article.
I drive an edition 30 with DSG, and I know I will be consider biased but it is just a fantastic all-round car.
Very comfortable, loads of space, goes like stink when it needs to, otherwise the wife can drive it like miss daisy.

those BBS wheels *almost* rescue it.
yeh i hate the look of the new leon usually but those wheels could make even a micra look cool.just realised its not the standard front bumper either and its lowered and probably got lots of other mods so it was not just the wheels.
just goes to show with about £3k-£4k you can make even an ugly leon look nice. (bet it would look much better in a different colour though)
