That's great, I bet having more extras will make up for less power. That's what I like to believe with my 1.6 stylance :) lol i've got leather seats, steering etc, Bluetooth, cd changer, climate control, auto lights/wipers, parking sensors, and probably some other things that I'm forgetting lol I think it's perfect for me as I'm 18 and I couldn't afford the insurance on a FR
 
I sympathise re: the insurance thing. I don't know what I'd comfortably insure if I was 18 now but it wouldn't be pretty. Yours seems to have all the mod cons... nice. :)

It starts to get a lot better once you're about 25 istr.

Thanks :) I do consider myself lucky to have such a nice car at 18, all my mates get jealous lol. And yeah your right, I haven't really insured this comfortably lol this costs me £1680 a year, some people might find that ok but I find it a pain in the a*** lol

Thats quite good adam! Ma insurance is just mental lol thats what i get for being daft at 18 lol

i am 22 and pay 440 a month for my k1 insurance lol

440 a month to insure your k1 :blink:

Is there finance outstanding on the car aswell.

When I was 20 the k1 cost me 3200 to insure, and I thought that was bad enough but you deffo have the crown now for the most expensive premium!

I'm 32 and have just bought a new shape TDi SE. I think it's the way that the Leon hide's the rear door handles. It's almost like trying to say "hey, i still look like a 3 door!" :happy:

Guys
Im getting some some stick at work for choosing such a "young looking car"
(Leon FR TDi, Black, 18in alloys, Bluetooth, Armrest)
Comments like "are you having a mid life crisis" are being thrown around.
All very funny for the idiots making them, but its got me thinking -
At 43 am I too old to be driving this car?
I would be interested to here your ages and comments please.
Andy

Im approaching 39. I have Leon Mk2 in YELLOW! Big shiny alloys to boot!
I guess the amount of stick depends where you work. Some people work with a greater number of idiots than others. I got some stick but mostly from so called friends on Facebook. Be yourself . Its good to be unique and different. Im not going to wear a superman T-shirt just because its the 'in thing' ! Cant stand them anyway!haha
