I’ve got a non PP GTI and a cupra 290 and basically the golf is a nicer place to sit in but the Leon is hardly slumming it to be fair.

Leon handles ‘better’ or at least a lot flatter and turns in better but the GTI is ‘nicer’ to drive most of the time.

The cupra keeps going where the normal GTI runs out of breath. I doubt the 245 would feel much quicker.

Throttle feels much better in the cupra. The 7.5 GTI is really inconsistent and has a crazy delay built into it the cupra has but not as noticeable.

the cupra must have a variable speed steering rack which is more noticeable than the golf and is a bit off putting. Not noticed that in either the 7.5 or the clubsport s

The Cupra cabin actually has less rattles than the golf but the seats aren’t as comfortable.

I doubt you would be disappointed with either really

Ive had a few seats in the past. Tbh scene points and driver appeal will always be a vdub over the seat. :whistle:
