In reply to marky:
Lady Blue has a 1.6tdi F Copa Ecomotive Leon. She's really impressed and pleased with it.
I've driven it quite a bit, and whilst its not my type of car (I prefer a sofa with wheels) the handling is excellent - slowing down for corners appears optional - the ride is firm, and the equipment level is very good. It's also quite nippy.
The bluetooth phone connection and voice control is excellent.
Whinges -
1. No ashtry for Lady Blue,
2. although it can hapily read music off a memory stick the display isn't really suited to browsing a USB stick.
3. The speedo is frankly insanly set out. It would work very well if you spent all your time between 80 and 120mph but not so much if you're driving around town.
4. The dash and steering wheel is a bit plasticy - the leather kit would obviously remove this problem.
However these are really minor whinges and we're really happy. We are not getting the mpg we were expecting - it averages mid-50's - but as all it ever does is Lady Blue's commute which is 20 miles of stop start queue perhaps that's not the "urban cycle" they had in mind.
One bit of advice - when you go for a test drive make sure its the right engine. Lady Blue went for a test drive in the 1.2 petrol and hated it, but loved the 1.6tdi.
