Im looking to go and test drive a 2005 Leon FR diesel (old style) its the one with PD150 engine,does anybody have any views on these? and is there anything i should be aware of?

cheers

kit:)

Very nice cars indeed.

They sold off the last of them at quite a hefty discount (£13700 for non-metallic cars) so don't be conned into paying too much for one.

but i'm in dublin so we always get ripped off!! its a 2005 with 19000 on the clock,he's looking for 20000 euros for it,which over here is a good deal:)

kit

The new one is out next month with the 170 TDI:thumbup:

but that will be over 30 thousand euros here!!!! and will only be special order:(

I'm just looking for a good diesel with plenty of power thats going to be a good runner!! And before anybody says audi A3, they are huge money here for a second hand one!!!:(

kit

Kit.... nice motor. I was tempted to go for one this time last year, but the dealer was looking for

I drove one - very stable and good handling, the engine doesn't have the kick of the other 1.9 PD units but it revs very nicely and builds up around the rev range.

Nice car, if you can get past the brightly illuminated dials which are on all the time.

ita all looking a bit strange now!!!....think the price maybe an error:( the same car is also up under a different garage name for 4k more !!!! same reg number!!! will ring today and clarify the situation.....if its going for 20k euros then its a well good deal....24K euros then theres more much to be had else where....

I took a run in one recently - they handle great but aren't so good when you boot them at low revs due to the lag of the bigger turbo. Being heavier I don't think it was any quicker than the Furby either.

Hi all,

im happy with mine bud. Had it 7 month goes like stink for a derv, standard at the moment.

Plenty of torque steer;) 570 out of a tank easy...

it was my first choice over the fabia. Liked it alot more but price too high really, and the seat dealers wouldn't do a deal where as skoda would.

Though saying that I dont regret getting the fabia. The 150 will have alittle more turbo lag as it is a bigger turbo, around town the 130 might be slighty perker and quicker.

570?!! miles?!!!.....holy moly.....i get 200 in and around town in my oct RS!!!! I knew there was a good reason i wanted an oil burner!!! how is the insurance?
