Title: SEAT Cupra R
Post by: i-espedair on 23 January 2004, 16:41
Drove a Leon Cupra R Today. Blinding car! Was very impressed.

I have driven the new A3 3.2 and in my opinion the Cupra was a better ride and felt quicker and torquier. When you look at what you get for the price and compare with the likes of the A3 or R32. Its a real winner!

Anybody else tryed out this blinding motor!?!  :o

Yeh, kinda i guess. But they are abit cheaper so i don't think they have any of the aftermarket stuff that the R32 has. Bit more common than the R32 tho.

I was never a big mk4 fan. Although the R32 is a lovely car, i don't think i'd have one. I would be more tempted to spend that kinda cash on a nice mk2 or mk3!

If you want a real performance VAG car for astonishing value the Cupra has to be it! 5 grand cheaper out the box than the A3 3.2 Quattro or R32 Golf! Thats what you gotta remember!

I sound like a SEAT salesman!  :-\

I owned a 2001(Y) Seat Ibiza Cupra but sold it last November to fund the new house.  I loved it.

I had a race with one of the cupra R's in my MI16. I managed to keep up with it all the way 130 where he backed of to see which H reg car was wiping his 03 ;D ;D
