I have had my 1.6tdi for 3 months and really like it, yes it has its niggles but what car doesnt!. Anyway, i generally change my car every year to 18 months and was just thinking how much i would love the FR tdi next. However, is it really worth 4 grand more than my than my car? I would like a fast petrol ideally, but I do over 20k miles a year so need a diesel! Is the car 4 grand better than the 1.6?

Not sure the Fr TDI is worth the money?

As nobody's driven it IIRC... I will guess the same as the rest & say 'no'
£4k is a lot.. and it would have to offer something more than a bit of poke.
If you do 20k a year, and change often I'd be looking at residuals and GFV - as well as being a lot more comfy

well i have just ordered a 2L TDI FR 
IMO it is worth it simply for the fact that the fr has a lot more as standard, which makes up for a "portion" of the cost. It looks fairly stunning to me I have a 1.4 petrol SC sport atm, but fancy something a little more sporty.
Going to test drive it as soon as they have the sample motor in

You could have bought a petrol cupra for the same price what were your reasons for choosing the TDI?
I will be recouping about £55 per month in fuel costs with the TDI FR. Helps towards paying for the car
I did look into the cupra, but without a deisel option, it put an end to that idea.
I travel 20 miles to work and 20 miles back every day, plus a lot of social traveling, so needed the better mpg.

similar to me so a petrol is out of the question
Price may be more than the leon, but will keep its residual value (sorry about spelling) a lot better, as the new leon is coming out very soon...
This is only my opinion, i was willing to pay the extra cash for it, some people arent, thats what makes everyone different
my dealer said this year. I was looking at leon fr to start with, but when he told me the next gen model was coming out this year i trashed that idea...
I dont think there is a confirmed date yet, they must be thinking late 2010 early 2011?
even so, in less than 12 months, the value of the leon is going to plummet.

Why?
Its got a whacking great 2.0 TDi up the front, I would have thought space is going to be tight let alone weight distribution.
I really dont think the new Leon will be out until next year! there is nothing in any mag about it unless i missed something? can anyone else find anything about the new Leon?
Anyway the current Leon in fr tdi guise is a great car, if i had a choice between the ibiza and leon fr tdi's i prob would have the Leon!
I think the Ibiza has always had a better residual than the Leon, not sure why? it seems the bigger seat's get the less money they retain?
