I am thinking of changing my Leon FR150 for something newer and maybe bigger. What have you changed to from a Leon TDi. Did you stay on the dark side (diesel) or go for petrol, what type of car and why the change?

I went bigger:
And i fancied a change of brand as my last 3 cars were seats.
I stuck with diesel because owning a petrol 4x4 is madness, unless your a drug dealer.

Just abouthow come you wanna change your leon then?
Firstly, I have had it 4 years and fancy a change. Secondly, I could do with something bigger.
When I was younger (1980s) I used to get through 3 or 4 cars a year, but it's too much hassle to change now. Recent car history is Saab 9000, Mercedes A Class, Citroen Xantia, Alfa 33, Mitsubishi and Toyota people carriers, Rover 620, Citroen Dyane and before that lots of repmobile Cavaliers & Mondeos. A bit of a mixed bag really.
It took a long time to decide on the Leon, but it ticked most of the boxes at the time, looks good and was available at a decent price pre-registered. I like it, which is why I need to think of something good to have a reason to change!
Have you had a go in an Exeo ST? much bigger and you'll get alot for your money or you can jsut get a planet killer like me

Octavia VRS TFSi - loved mine, but one of the cars had to go (we had 3) and I preferred the Leon. Excellent value, plenty of tuning potential, and a bit of a street sleeper (the Octy!).

I had mine 5 years & was in the same mindset as you (wanted something bigger).

Looks tidy. Did you stick with diesel?
Yes mate, I even got 40mpg on the way home today (140 mile).
It's a fantastic car, enough toys to keep me occupied for weeks lol

Good man, its people like us that are slowly ruining the planet for the next generation, apparently
I've driven a couple and was impressed, the mk1 wasnt bad however they had the rover engine in alot of them :s
That's lovely Chris! Would like to see some inside pics of that - what's the handling / ride like?
I'll post some up later on mate after the match.
14 speakers in the car & 7.1 surround sound. DVD's also look/sound great in the headrests.
The handling is very light, which I see as a plus, but others wouldn't. Ride is perfect, not too soft or firm, and the leather seats are so comfy
