Photoshoot, Seat Leon FR

[komotar]

This is a really cool car. It goes well (200HP) and it handles even better.

The styling rocks and the steering wheel looks great. It's just a bit shame everything is so VW steril, not enough excitment...you know, every now and the a man wishes the car would try to cut his hed, just for excitment....not here

The yellow suits it very well.

I'm waiting for the cupra :wink: I

hope you like the pics, I sure enjoyed making them :D

Great photoshoot Komotar, I really like the pics. I have driven this car myself a few months ago (the 170 BHP TDI version) and I was impressed by the handling of the car, a real improvement over the Leon FR I drive myself (the old model). In a half year I have to choose a new car, I hope it will be the new FR. (that depends on my boss :wink: )

[chest3r]

WOW!!! Stunning pics !! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks a lot !!!

[dutchmasterflex]

Cool car.. I really hate seeing all of these nice Euro hot hatches that we'll never get here in the States..

Amazing photography, I really like the night shots.

[Stoopie]

Real great photography, I like the ones in front of the garage door best :D Real agressive looking car, I think it looks cool in red too though :)

@TopGearNL - a driver's car? well, yes and no. Yes, because it really listens to you in almost any condition, great turn in, good traction, the weight transfer is good, lousy roads don't upset it.....much, but for all the same reasons, it's not that much a driver's car. Maybe it's just me, but I ussually like to struggle a bit with the car, I like for the car to be a bit uncivilised. But all in all, it's a really great car and I really can't wait to see what the cupra will bring to the table... :wink:

@sameerrao - thx, we have to set up a date for your ferrari :wink:


@pterps - I say go for the FR or the VW GTI. The GTI has more charisma, but is not as agressive in the styling department...


@Stoopie - yes a red one look's cool to, saw one today and people, myself including were turning around like it was an F car. :lol:

@everybody else - thx for the comments 8)

It has to be a Diesel, so a Golf GTi isn't an option. :wink:

[MidEngine4Life]

I cant get over what incredible skill some of the people here have. Excellent work, we should start a Jabbas World Magazine and send it around the globe ;)

Amazing set of pics! Really perfect!

[komotar]

Great pictures aw always komotar.

How does it compare to the other hot hatches you've driven?

well, it compares well, it lack's the power to compete with the focus ST, astra OPC or megane sport, but power is not so high on my list when it come's to fun imo (the fiesta ST still the best car to have fun with,imo).

and that's why it compares well.

as I said, it can hold it's ground in corners, the roll is limited, but it show's they have spared a few bonuses for the cupra...I hope :wink:

The engine is torky and I really can't find any downside with it, maybe if I tryed really hard, lol

otherwise, it's a VERY fun car and I'd almost recomend it to anyone who is in the market for one, it lack's the x factor, not totally, but just a bit.

And that missing bit is the most important thing in the world when it comes to hot hatches :wink:

[stmoritzer]

I like the wideangle shots :D
Well done komotar!

#19 in the frozen grass is cool

[cooperluke]

I've also driven one a few months ago, and feel the same, very fast, agile, but sometimes it lacks some "uncivilization"!!

Did you take off the ESP? I think I only disconnected the traction control..

Oh, and the photos are stunning... it looks better on your photos than live!! :D

[Wutputt]

Congrats komotar, you really can catch a car from the right angle with your camera. And you picked great complementary locations. My favourite pics are the ones on the frosted ground and the detailed shots of the rims.

Saved them all!
