Seat Leon Reference Sport 140 tdi, VW build quality, less boring than a Golf.
6 speed gearbox and decent mileage.

both are very nice cars but i think the golfs are over priced and everywhere there are 3 gt tdis on my street and arent a big fan of the seat i think
that when im spending alot of money on a car its got to be something that makes me grin when im in it and drive it have been looking at a3 and a4 s
lines have driven them and are very nice and comfy but not for me

leon gets my vote, its basically a vw and quite a bit cheaper

you dont understand i dont like any of the diesil because they all look dull and when you sit in them they have all got the same bench like seats in
them i like the vxrs or type rs mainly because they are quite rare they always come fully stocked with everything in them and there uselly pretty
quick and handle well can you lpg a turbod engine or are there limits to the power from lpg

Best try the Astra forum but a quick search shows a VXR LPG conversion has been done more than once.
Astra forum
If the power isnt so good on LPG then simply stuck it back to petrol when you want full power and LPG when in normal use.
