Title: if you had option would you get golf 180 or leon cupra r
Post by: rench on 21 December 2011, 22:45
im looking to get a new car and im torn between a leon cupra r and a golf 180 3 door. ive had both golf mk4 and leon cupra and they were booth good cars but not sure which to go for next. i know cupra's faster but whats everyone elses opinion's?? im going to spend about £3500 on one, ive seen a few golf go for around £1500 with lowish miles so id have about £2000 to spend on a golf if i went down that route. cupra r alot faster?

Like the car, but think the dash/interior is cack in comparison to a top spec golf with nice leather Recaros :cool:

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I hate the dash on the Leon!!! :sick: :sick:

Cupra r
K04 Turbo, uprated brake lines, brembo brakes

Golf 180 
K03s, better looking interior, many chavs own them in comparison :(

I'd go for the Leon hands down, when I was buying a the golf I had a choice of a Leon, but being a fan I got the VW, only when common sense finally kicked in down the line I really regretted it.

Don't be a fan, use common sense :)

Interior of the cupra r is disgusting!! Maybe a little biased as I've got a golf Anni. Only advantage the cupra r has got is the performance and that's it. Golf all the way!!

It has nothing to do with common sense. Just buy which one you like and that's it.

Not on the older one, I love older cars around the 2000 period for some reason... only a3 thats anything close the the s3 with more doors was the 1.8T quattro 180, but then theres the hassle of upgrading it to being an s3 :(

Why would they? They need to sell the golf somehow for people with money wanting a 3-door, they offer you a car with sh!tter bushes all round and charge extra. It's the reason when the S3 and TT where first around the S3 was 210 and the TT was 225, to push sales to the more expensive car even though it wasn't more to build.
