Default Bought a new car !!!!!!

Was looking to get a focus rs, but too expensive for me , then a st170, but too boring lol, then a clio 172/182, but french

Finally decided and bought this







Pick it up on the 24th

Leon 1.8 20v turbo
2001
180bhp, 6 speed box
full black leather
17's
44k
1 owner from new
LOADS of service history, has been serviced every 6 months (literally, almost the same 2 days every year), what ever the car has needed its had

Insurance is a proper fucker at 20 though

My mate has a 20v turbo the same as this. They are good little cars. The brakes are great, they handle well, nice seats and good fuel economy too. Pretty quick as well.

Good cars, well I was impressed anyway.

with a pukka map from MSD it wont be too far off that pal , im sure a quick call will give you some more info m8 , numbers below

hmmmmmm revo, dont get me started, just to let you know - i wouldnt ever let revo touch my car, there are some types of tuning that are not always a good option and in this case serial port is not good.

My mate who has one recons the only major difference between the 20v turbo and Cupra R is the chip and that its the same engine. Can't see it myself though.
