[quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] I was initially looking at diesel barges, went to Merc, BMW, Audi, Jag and nothing for what I considered reasonable money was interesting me. The R-Sport XE Jags were fairly nice, and had me considering them at over 400/month. I then did some man maths, and realised that there were some pretty nice hot hatches for the <300 bracket and their reduction in MPG would pay for itself each month because of the cheaper lease price of the car. I test drove a white 280, 5 door with manual gearbox. Absolutely loved it, it was a non-Recaro spec car and in the comfort modes it drove really well. In Cupra mode it would have kept my Subaru honest tbh. The test drive car was specced with adaptive cruise control which is seriously cool :lol: My biggest issue with CC is that you're constantly cancelling it and re-engaging it during realistic motorway driving, but this takes care of it all nicely. I decided I wanted DSG because the internet said it's THAT good, despite not being able to try it myself - but then when going through quotes it added a significant amount to the price. As a result, I've specced manual. Only other option I took was the adaptive CC as per the test drive, and had to pay for a non-red colour. 3door looks loads better, so gone 3 door :cool: The 290 is only 10ps more powerful than the one I drove, but apparently the mapping has been altered to improve the torque delivery. For the same money I could have had a Golf R, 320D/A4 and for a little bit more money could have had an M135i so there's a very good choice at around this bracket, but this is the only car that appealed to me tbh. Still on the hunt for my track car, so the daily had to be the perfect balance of sensible, fun and be boring enough to encourage me out into the track car on a weekend (when I get it) :lol: The Leon is probably one of the dullest looking hot hatches ever released, but I need to be a grown up eventually :o [/quote]
