The FR bought by the OP is over 2 years old, so if build quality isn't an issue by now I don't see why it would be later.
Thankyou! I was just about to post the same!!! read this from evo re the hardness of suspension. Have you considered a gti 30? or dare I say it a fwd TT? http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolongtermtests/209861/seat_leon_cupra.html
On seat's website they quote the FR as 1320kg and Cupra as 1375 just for info.
