dont get a type r, my dads got one and its shit, 1800rpm power band (2300rpm if you cane it to the limiter) altho it does handle if you want to over take you may find your selves spending long periods of time holding the car at 6200rpm (thats when it comes on cam, power goes from 140bhp at 600rpm to 197 at 6200rpm) and unless you are up in the 6200+ rpm the car is very unispiring

again, the leon is to smooth (turbo comes on at about 1500 rpm) unlike the rs. i think its the quirkyness of the rs that atracts people (no power steering, no traction control, no eps, no abs (if your lucky) lots of lag and good fun.

but as most of you will agree, worry about whether your car will start in the morning, whether it will make it to work, whether it will blow up if you boot it to long, rust!!!, all of these factors are shite!!!!!!!!

i personally dont think you can rely on an rs turbo as a main car!!
