Very nice - only needs the 4wd platform now to be a contender... :jumping:

Our neighbours in France had a MKI 4WD LCR. Was there a MKII 4WD too?
thought it vas the v5 that was 4wd in europe?

I think you might be right. It certainly wasn't an LCR. It looked more like a cupra.

Mk1 Leon 4wd was a 2.8 V6 same as the mk4 4 motion Golf  :smiley:

Oh, how odd - it's badged as an LCR and has the same kit/brakes etc. I'll have a nose under the bonnet next time I'm over.
I once took mine to dealer in France to have pads done and all staff came out to have a look! They had never seen one!  :signLOL:

I like it, looks like a cross between a Civic type R and a Focus ST from the front, not a bad thing both good looking cars.

I quite like it. Will have to see what the inside is like. Didn't the MKI have the A3 dash in it?

Aren't the front calipers in the photo,  the smaller ones, not as big as the Golf or Rocco R??
Bye Bye Edition 30.

The interior in the new Leon certainly looks much improved.

It certainly does, that's very posh compared to the last version.
Sideways yo!

Much improved, and most importantly the infotainment is actually higher enough on the dash not to be dangerous looking down at it.
