right im looking at buying a new car soon and im looking at the leon tdi's basically i can get an fr150 for about £1000-£1500 more than the 130, the fr is a year newer and has done less miles however from online quotes the fr150 is going to be about £5-600 more expensive to insure, i was wondering if anyone can tell me if the fr150 really is that much better than the 130 i must admit i really dont think that it is going to be worth it but then the fr is newer and done less miles so im a bit undecided heres a link to both cars

You could try www.seatcupra.net and you'll have more luck there.

If you want more power later on the tdi 130 will probably remap up to the level of the 150 I'd imagine for around £400. The FR 150 also has the Cupra R bodykit and 17 inch (I think) alloys on later plates (55 onwards). Have a search on seatcupra.net though and you'll find out the differences.

If it has the Cupra R bodykit I believe that was called the 'Enhanced Pack' on later spec FR150's.

I have driven them both and recently sold a 130 to someone and a 150 to a friend, if it's a small difference in cost initially i'd be getting the FR as the seats etc are also so much nicer inside.
