Summary
What does this car say about you?
I wasn't sure about the body kit before I had it and if people would think I'm a boy racer (I'm in my 40s) but had it in monsoon grey with black alloys and it looked stunning. So I think it said I appreciate a car that looks right.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everybody loved the styling.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Not this one as it's no longer made but I would have another Leon though it would have to be a Cupra. The one thing that nagged me in the back of my mind was however good the car looked it was still an FR with a body kit. It deserved to be quicker.
What are you likely to buy next?
Back to a VRS or similar.
