  3. Long term ownership

    Bit of an odd thread, but seeing as the Cupra is a keeper, i'd like to ensure it'll keep running well for the next 150,000 odd miles. The car is running a stage 1 map, so I've increased the frequency of servicing to suit. My old Mercedes 190 Cosworth had oil services at 6k intervals & it ran...

  5. Freetrack to get common rail?/ freetrack ownership

    Hi Currently thinking about a freetrack, as a nice upgrade from my MK4 Ibiza FR diesel, can anybody confirm if the updated common rail diesel will come to the freetrack, the Seat press release was a bit vague. Also have any freetrack owners got any tails of joy (or despair):D? Cheers in advance.

  11. Observations after 400 miles of ownership

    Well I've been busy enjoying my new car, and just thought I'd mention a few things ive found. First - after 1 tank of super unleaded, I managed to average (mixed driving) the grand total of 18 mpg! Second - Traction Control, it's only kicked in once and was a bit of a shock really. In my...

    Had the car for around 3 months now and love 95% of it!:D Having come from the Impreza I was a smidging bit concerned about losing the overtaking ability in 1st and 2nd gears but must say that I'm not disappointed at all. Yeah it doesn't have the same performance but it has really surprised...

    Living with the Leon FR TDI - a week of ownership

    Well I collected my Leon last week and so I thought it was time to report in on how it is to live with :) A quick recap for you. I owned a Ford Focus Titanium 1.6TDCi for 4 months. In that time it spent more time in the garage than on the road. Horrible experience. Horrible driving position...
