The Leon is a great car but...
That's just what I thought when I went from a Mk4 GTI to a Leon Cupra in 2002.
I did something along the same lines back then and had a (year and a bit old) Leon Cupra on a 51 plate.
Chipped it, changed the wheels and it was a great car.
The mk4 Golf GTI I had was a bit of a disappointing car. GTI was just a base model with a bit more powerful engine in a mk4.
In 2005 the tables went back the other way although it was a few years after that until I could afford even a second hand mk5 GTI. Mind you I filled some of that time with a (second hand) slightly disappointing mk5 GT TDI (inevitably remapped and different wheels!)
Ive spent a bit of time in a latest generation Cupra which is a very good car but...
