Just ordered my first seat and ony my 3rd new car ever.

Having considered a new Golf GT TD170 (currently have a MkV TDi SE 105), a Honda Civic Type GT Diesel, Alfa 147 Diesel and coming very close to placing an order on a Volvo C30 R Design diesel......I have ordered a Leon FR TDi 170 in Candy White for September 1 delivery. It's my second car for the 15K+ miles commuting to /from work etc, but think this is the right balance of power, toys and most importantly price!

The test drive was great, felt just like I was sitting in my Golf all the controls being the same, only with substantially more power........having negotiated what I believe a good deal and considering it for a couple of days, I've come away quite satisfied.

Guess the only downside is 10K mile service intervals where as my Golf goes almost 20K without needing a visit to the delaer.....

Oh I hate you biggrin

I have a leased car from work which means I make a contribution towards the cost relative to the amount of private miles I do. I just bought a house so funds were a bit tight so I went for the 1.9TDI Stylance (a difference to me of £70pm) but just had to get it in Candy White. It looks amazing. I should be getting it any day now.

I agree though, why would you buy a Golf? Same car, better looks, less money.

Will go over and register......I've opted for the 18's and as it's my second car and primarily for work think I'll leave it at that............

Hoping it will be good, it's the everyday car replacing the Golf 105 so a good bit more power and spec so think it will be fine.......needs to be as it should cover 15K+ miles a year......
