    197--->Leon FR--->207 Gti all in 12 months

    Just purchased an 07 207 GTI in white as a replacement for my 07 2.0T Leon FR. What a lot of car you get for 7k!!! Sat nav, phone, auto everything but man it feels slow!! Leon was pushing 270bhp but also 23-25mpg. Pocketed 2.5k and now getting 38mpg!! Subtle tuning will be done, filter already...

Very nice ride, very quiet and im looking forward to a long blast to see...
