Grab young driver's car insurance by the Seat of the pants

"Quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow"... - no, before you ask, young drivers car insurer, 4youngdrivers.com, are not limbering up our clutch-weary twinklies for an outing on Strictlycomeraggingthewhatnotsoffyourmotor, instead, the young driver car insurer that's known and admired as 4youngdrivers.com, were talking about something of a foxy trotter which will catch out a lot of glare-fixated rabbits in the foreseeable. To cast light on the matter of urgency, young driver's car insurance co - 4youngdrivers.com - give you this. What's Spanish, quick on their back feet, and bound to upset the locals? No, not their native fisherfolk plundering their not so native waterways around Blighty, but the all new Seat Leon FR. In the past, young drivers car insurer 4youngdrivers.com have noticed that Seat have not gone out of their way not to tap up any interest amongst the disaffected youth. Largely because they only really made the Ibiza in which to tempt them with. Which, as young driver's car insurer - 4youngdrivers.com - muse (if only because its name implies) should be full on, promiscuous, rowdy and vomiting. Instead, as young driver's car insurer, 4youngdrivers.com will testify, it was nothing more than a rust-enticing chicken crate powered by a loom. And therefore sold very well on the continent. It was the sort of car that had the blue oval made - and so continuing the sexily-named theme - would have been called the Ford Reading. And also been shit. Not learning their automotive lesson, Seat continued making depressing cars, named after equally depressing places in Spain that northern people like to frequent when Blackpool's full up.(Toledo, Malaga, Marbella, Cordoba.names that roll off the tongue like those little chunks of half-digested carrot) The type of shambolically-jigged vehicle that lacked just about anything you could wish for in a car; unless a continental European sedan that alluded to have the injection system of a Porsche attached in any way floated your motoring armada. Right up until fairly recently.

So in a departure from this, the Leon FR can only be better. Right? And it is. The Cupra of a few years back, at least in its 'R' guise, was heading in the right direction. A German signposting as it was; and this latest Leon incarnation is as well built, has great poise and presence, and goes like an anxious matador being stalked by its meat-stuffed prey. FR stands for Formula Racing. And a 200bhp turbo charged unit seeks to deliver such grandiose claims. As does its sibling, the 170bhp turbo diesel variant. The former gets a tad excited and storms to 62mph from a standing start in 7.3 seconds. If you choose to keep your right foot to the solid chassis, then you will experience 143mph before you disintegrate; along with the car. Amazingly there is no loss in acceleration if you opt for the turbo diesel either. 7.3 seconds being the general consensus of speed opinion in the Seat parliament. And that's whilst returning 47mpg into the bargain. Hardly a pitiful 35.7 by the full-blooded petroleum jobby too. A six-speed manual gearbox is bolted into both versions, and aligned with what Seat call their Agile chassis concept; which if all the accompanying jargon is in any way correct means that the suspension is more rigid, and decidedly lower than in standard form. Which also affords greater steering response aswell. Don't ask how, I'm many things to many people, but I'm not a mechanic. Also behind closed doors you will discover larger brakes. I don't mean they're housed inside the car, as that would serve no purpose other than to get in the way of passengers, what I mean is that these crucial elements are not so much in your face. Unlike the aggressively styled front grille and rear bumper. Which stand out more than fat-lipped gender-challenger Will Young at a Slipknot gig. Twin, chromed exhaust pipes make it up the rear, and 18" alloys insist that you look twice. Especially as on second glance I notice they're 17". Fine.

And once you slip into the comfortable surrounds within, there are discreet suggestions aplenty that you could be nesting inside something that means business. And that in Spain is quite an achievement in itself. Torso-tugging sports seats keep you from falling onto the handbrake, whilst the white-faced instrumentation, complete with the FR logotype will ensure that the easily pleased remain uninspired. As for the toys? Well, all standard on the FR's are climate, MP3 compatible CD player, and all-round electric windows. For the five door purchaser anyhow. Excessive wrist action called upon for 3 door owners. Should come easily. All in all, a finely balanced package that will appeal to many once they flood our market in July.

Which, terminology-wise sounds not altogether dissimilar to what young driver's car insurers - 4youngdrivers.com - continued success revolves around. Not that you have young driver car insurers have to wait 2 months to get your mitts on 4youngdrivers.com hot young drivers car insurance.
