It's that impossible middle ground we all seek - normally aspirated cable throttle response versus modern turbo thrust!!
I also still run a cable throttled N/A car so know exactly where you're coming from.
I also used to have a Leon Cupra mk1 many years ago and these didn't suffer the same dead throttle.
The crap response started with the mk5 Golf platform and got much worse with the mk7.
