My latest edition - New SEAT Leon FR 1.4tsi

[Jamie _Swales]

So it's been a while since I last posted and I have had a couple of cars since then.

My last post was of my Audi S3 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...of-my-new-Audi-S3-Black-Edition-in-Ibis-White

Since then, I decided to join my work loan car scheme meaning I get a new VAG car every six months at extremely reasonable prices.

My first car on the scheme was a SEAT Ibiza FR 2.0tdi

Next with the arrival of our first child, I got an Ibiza FR ST 1.6tdi (I must have been drunk when I ordered this)

About a month ago I picked up this, my new Leon FR 1.4tsi 5 door. What an amazing car. Power delivery is great for a 140bhp engine. I picked options of 18inch wheels and the tech pack (full LED headlight, DAB and Navigation). The media system is fantastic with a great touch screen control.

I would definitely recommend one of these to anyone.


Next car on order for December - New Leon SC 3 door FR 1.8tsi with the same options in red!

Red you say...

Lol at a new car every six months.
So as you go to pick your new car up, do you order your next one while you are there??

Kind of yes. I am due to pick up next car mid December, so will order my next car on the 1st December.

How does it not cost you loads to do that?

I work for a company that works on behalf of VWG. Basically I pay a monthly amount (less than £160 a month for the Leon) and have no other costs except insurance. They then sell the cars on to VWG dealers as used stock!

 

[Herr Flick]

You get everything paid for except insurance? How strange!

very nice position to be in tho.

 

[DrR]

what other costs would there be apart from insurance?

Nice deal that though!

Couple of hundred litres of oil

Very nice motor

 

[DrR]

Random one, does your USB port give off power? Seems a pointless feature to me.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Looks identical to the new A3 in many places,

I loved my new / old A3! They are a massive improvement over the old chassis.

New leon is a good looking motor, especially in a decent spec.

 

[Austin-182]

That looks quite nice, the interior looks really smart.

If your not bothered about owning a car then those type of schemes are perfect. The same as people who work for Nissan get, but the Nissan scheme also coveres insurance too.

Deposit, servicing, tax etc

 

[Bjorn]

Must be lovely to have a new car every 6 months though.

 

[daydotz]

Any jobs going

Are you restricted in anyway to what you can have does it have to be a seat ?

Love the new shape Leon with the LED lights

 

[Jamie _Swales]

We get restricted as to what the group require. I can order Audis, VWs, Skodas or Seats. The seats are better value for money, but will probably get an Audi next

 

[BREMBO]

Have seen a few of these going about, think its a great looking car! Interior looks really nice aswell

 

[daydotz]

Your car insurance company must love you changing your car so frequently

 

[Brett]

Not bad a new car every six months. I feel I'd get a little fed up of just changing to very similar cars every six month.

The Leon is really nice. I'm running a Ibiza FR TDI at the minute.

What difference does it make?

My mate had a similar deal with his work but was restricted to Honda Civics. Every six months, another bloody Civic. It's great in many respects, but it'd do my head in.

 

[DrR]

Random one, did yours come with an iPod connector?

Most insurance company's I'd expect them to either charge you to amend your policy or charge extra depending on the car it's a valid consideration

Maybe yeh...although I would always stick with something in the VW group at the moment, and they are all kind of the same
