Bought a red 08 Leon FR170 last Wednesday and all I can say it what a car! Initially I thought the road noise was a bit too much to handle but this is my first car with wide wheels to be fair. I also got 4 wheel alignment done to the settings I got from another thread on here and it has made an improvment. I put Continental Sports 3s on the front too as the existing ones were really worn in the middle of the tyre.
Initially I didn't think this had made much difference but after a couple of days it does seem a lot better (maybe this is because I am used to it now lol) so much so that the day after I had it done I got up Saturday morning and drove towards my local Seat dealer but turned round as I could hear the improvement.
Anyway, I had it remapped yesterday by Angel tuning, I had used them before on my Megane so I got a returning customer discount. They only charged me £245 and I got an extra 35bhp and 50lb torque.
It wheelspins in second in the dry now, it is quite scary in the low gears but the torque is amazing at motorway speeds.
The handing on the car is amazing too, it is so planted on the road even in the wet. It really does feel like a sports car and is by the far the best car I have ever owned.
