The Macan is a good suggestion, I’ve seen a few interesting looking examples zipping about full of hooray Henries on weekend jaunts down to Cornwall. The running costs would probably make my eyes water after a lifetime of econo-hatches.
The Megane I have huge respect for but it’s really not my cup of tea. I’d actually rather have the MG!!
It’s a bit hardcore for an old softie like me.
I was talking to a colleague on Monday whose other half has an Ibiza and wanted a Leon, he’s previously had a Leon FR and before that a Civic Type R.
I told her that Cupra were doing 0% finance so she immediately messaged him.
Fast forward less than 24 hours and I get told he’d been straight down to the dealership on Tuesday morning and stuck a deposit on a Leon VZ2 245PS.
They’re quite a compelling purchase with a great spec and well under the £40k tax in most guises. I could be sold on a 300PS one on 0%. “Could” but won’t be I’d imagine! But I’d buy one of those over another Clubsport at £42k or whatever they are now.
His son remarked to me that he preferred my Clubsport when I saw him in passing earlier. It’s an age thing maybe.
