I have been having a good look at all the smallish VAG diesels available and have been quite taken with the new Leon Sport (in black magic).Its a 2 litre TDi with 140bhp and 320nm torque.Handling is superior to the Golf with sports suspension and interior,17" wheels and 6 speed gearbox standard.
Interestingly the earlier Leon FR 1.9TDi had 150bhp but looks too much like a Rover 25/200 for my liking.Yes,I know you willl all see other cars in the Leon design,but in real life it is quite a stunner.

The airdam vents are different and the exhaust exit is twin pipe on the left instead of a central single pipe.I will take some pics at the local dealer today.

Yeah they are quite nice cars. Alot less bland than the outgoing model. I got to see some nice ones along with the WTCC version at the valencia track a couple of months back. very nice cars. Havent been in one though so cant comment too much there but it sounds promising at least. maybe i'll hire one next time i need to hire a car. Prices are pretty amazing here too.

I always found the old shape Leon Cupra R 225hp quite a good looking machine:
