SEAT Leon FR 184 - GasBagTV

The Seat Leon FR breathes new life into a segment of cars that was woefully unfulfilling. Welcome to the era of fast diesel hatchbacks.

Fantastic review. One of the only reviews that let you hear how the engine sounds revving.

[@mortenrasmussen1192]

I have the new Leon same as testet.. It is pretty fast and yet economical. My Leon is a real Diesel hot hatch, because it has been remapped to 236 hp & 502 NM..

Does the remap effect the mpg much?

[@cmurray1991]

Test drove this Leon and new GTD today and I think i'm going to go for the Leon FR. I think it was a nicer drive than the GTD. GTD was really stiff which is great if constantly in boy racer mode but not so much when your driving in the city. Both incredible cars but 9k price difference is a joke.

Love this car!

Test drove this and the diesel Octavia vrs, basically identical cars but this handles better, it's less stiff, yet more sporty feeling. Yes an oxymoron, but it's just more forgiving. Very much like that vauxhall has done with the gtc, aka black magic. I originally went to compare the petrol and diesel vrs, 180bhp over 220bhp, yes there was a diffence for the better in the petrol, but my God on the same 30 min test route the petrol did 21mpg to the 38mpg of the diesel. I recon one you owned it, (lol), the diesle would do 40 combined and be almost as much fun. As I de used I could live with the vRS diesel, I went nest door (same building) and tested the leon St FR 184, and it is not only £1500 cheaper, rrp, like for like options, but a better ride. I do favour the vRS styling, but favour £1500 more. Shame non come with a 12v or usb in the second row. But an permanent extention from the boot and a 5 port charge hub and some sticky velcro would sort that (the solution we lived with for years on our old laguna estate) . Nice review.

Have you gotten it?

[@craigs71]

Hopefully it gets dropped off to the garage tomorrow ready for pickup on Saturday, if not it will be Tuesday. Can't wait.

Craig S what happened?

[@Stubs66]

What happened man brilliant channel , where did you go ?

[@zhhrah]

MQB stands for Modularer QuerBaukasten. They use the same MQB for the Audi A3, the Golf 7 and the Superb if I'm not mistaken.

[@PDArest]

Crypsis seat leon and audi A3 are the same car XD

[@zhhrah]

PDArest Whats your point and how is it related to what I said?

[@PDArest]

Crypsis looool i think its not that hard to undestand

[@GeorgeX.]

+Crypsis The Octavia i think not the Superb

[@jondonnelly3]

I'm looking at these, not cause I want diesel but because I want a fairly brisk 3door and well the diesels out sold the fast petrol ones by a ratio of 8:1 which means instead of having 2 bloody cars in the whole of the UK for sale (and one of those had outstanding finance on it...) there are 9. I fuking hate diesels though.
