Edition30 replacement - Leon FR184
« on: May 14, 2014, 04:15:33 pm »
Hi guys

Well after 4 very happy years I said goodbye to my cherished Edition30!

I needed to go for a diesel this time due to miles and seriously considered the Mk7 GTD, however after seeing and test driving the new Leon FR 184 and an amazing deal offerd by my local SEAT dealership I bit the bullet!!

Here she is after a clean today, Monsoon Grey with the upgraded LED lights and Tech Pack, 18" wheels, Sound upgrade which includes 9 speakers and subwoofer, comfort pack and sunroof......got to say i love it  :smiley:

Performance is great and pulls like a train, handling is a real delight and a good blend and you have the option to choose between normal, Eco or Sport mode, the latter providing the sound actuator through the speakers and actually sounds less like a diesel than then Edition30 engine  :laugh:

I'm sure it will perform better once a few more miles on the clock as all feels very tight and the best bit is I'm currently achieving 51mpg which should rise to mid 50's after a few thousand hopefully and possibly 60mpg on a long run   :happy2:

Here's some pics......

Really nice, the interior looks a fair bit nicer than the older Leons, great colour too.

Any mods planned  :evilgrin: or is it going to stay as is?

Very nice. Have a Monsoon Leon on order myself. :happy2:

I doubt mine will get near 50 mpg, though!

Thanks mate, no performance mods planned but will be adding the bigger rear spoiler soon and possibly the side skirts and rear bumper with the twin pipes each side that's just been launched through SEAT :drool:

Cupra?

I considered one but just couldn't justify the petrol cost!

Yes interior is a very nice place to be and the only thing that put me off the Mk2 Leon TBH.

There's a few shortcuts that SEAT have taken to save money but I can live without them compared to an extra £5k on an equivalent Golf GTD!

Loving the seats as half leather and cloth like in the Edition30  :smiley:

Sounds like a good plan, with 184bhp it shouldn't be any slouch anyway.  Will be good to see that rear bumper.

Yup. Petrol not a problem, seeing as I currently drive an R32!  :signLOL:

Realistically, I'll probably be looking at an extra 5-6 mpg (I hope!)
