All the talk of torque isn't nonsense, just your own preference. My preference is lots of low end grunt
I guess i'm looking for something which does everything quite well so, quite fast, quite refined, relatively economical, practical, reliable & nice to drive on all roads regardless of my mood. The Type R just isn't my thing, it drives too similar to my Clio.
Surprised that the Leon is even heavier than the 5dr Golf GTI tbh.
You're right, i need to try the Leon as sometimes on paper a car would appear the perfect choice, i may just hate it, lol.
