Because cars get older and one considers replacing them with a newer example.Why are you looking at one if you think the engine’s sh*te?!
I don't want a diesel. I don't want a less powerful petrol. I don't particularly want the extra weight of the 1.8 or the independent rear suspension. I'm happy with the 1.4 FR and just want a younger version of the same car.Fair enough, not considered a different engine?
I had a Golf GTD and in my opinion, the Leon FR suspension is better. The Golf is too soft. The Leon can be too hard and lack composure but it's all down to the tyres. With Goodyear Ays5 (6) on the car it's one of the best balanced cars I've ever had.However, the Golf had better front seats, rear suspension and ride quality.
I don't know that I want to risk it. I don't want to get rid of a car that drives beautifully and buy one that might give me grief. I'm reading reports of people buying 2020 and later 150ps cars that had the problem, that's after VW said it was fixed.I thought that it was the 130PS version that could exhibit this issue, and obviously the manual gearbox versions that helped showing it up.
I agree, the 1.4 is sweet. I'd rather stick with it but finding the right car is tricky. A 2018 car is already six years old and ideally I'd rather get something younger with low millage.Not sure if the 1.5 issues have been sorted but the 1.4 ACT 150 is one of VW group's best engines. Can you not go for a facelift Leon 2018 as that was the last year with the 1.4?
You have the right to return within 14 days for a refund, as it’s a distance sale.I'm looking for a newer car but the 1.4 is such a peach, I don't want to buy an engine that's worse. I was kinda hoping that by this point they would have sorted the 1.5 out. Unfortunately the car I'm looking at is too far away for me to test drive it, hence the question. Unless I can satisfy myself that it will drive as well as the 1.4 I'm not buying it.
