Everyone 'doesnt want a big car' and 'wants a hatchback'
This means good stuff like the Toledo gets ignored.
Pretty much. There aren't that many of them about hence why not everyone knows about them.
Well to be honest it does seem true good to be true. As a first car it seems solid and very quick, and whilst it doesn't have the VW badge it does seem like something I should look into. If I did want to modify it, how many options would I have given it's a rare car?

So would you personally have a 1.8T Toledo over a 1.8T MK4 Golf?
Be honest
On the plus side, if I use Bell I'll get DOC on my policy so I might be able to take my dad's 330i for a ride (if he gets it) so I'm sure you'll approve lol
Reached an agreement with the rents.
I've decided on the Seat Leon 1.8 20V T Cupra.
The deal is I will have to pay the insurance and half of the car. It seems like I'm getting a lot of bang for the buck with this, and having seen some on the roads recently they don't look bad either. Now the only problem is the fact insurance is close to £2k and road tax is £200. Should be a great car though, time to get earning and saving

Excellent, I havent driven one but they're meant to be fantastic cars. I suppose it will now depend on whether you pay over the odds on one or not.
*Cue flaming 'cos his parents are helping*
That would be unfair given the amount of spoilt brats who receive cars from their parents on their 17th birthday. I've had to wait 3 years for financial help.

Oh and dont forget the remap and rear ARB. £320 well spent.
The performance gains are extremely impressive, but I don't know much about remapping. Does it not pose a risk to the car?
haha yeah just did a quote and it went up by £1,100!!!
Still, the option is available for the future
Different Tommy.

Did you have any other modifications done to the engine?
What's the noise like on the factory exhaust?
Cheers
you don't need any other modifications prior to a remap, the only adviseable one really is to upgrade the crappy bosch plastic diverter valve for an aluminium one, like the forge 007p as the extra boost has been known to cause the plastic diaphragm in the bosch ones to fail, which is bad
