Default Cupra r?????

Has anyone been in a modified one or even standard 210 model???

What are they like?
Nice to drive? Quick?

How would a re-mapped one do against my M3??

Thanks

well nice cars! an 5 doors!

its just a golf in a sport suit....but it looks better has 18's (same as r32 i know) big brembo brakes an a 1.8 low lag 20 valve turbo engine! sounds like fun to me! tho back space is a little tight you get a dam good choice of extra's! like four bucket seats! or the std rear bench if ya have to use a baby seat.....tuned ones go well same people that tune golfs tune these...i belive engine advantages are working on a tuning package for the seat leon's!

tho it will never have same presence as an m3!

switch off here has the ibiza sport thinging, got a 16v golf engine and polo dash

thats a fookign touque car thats real fun to drive, just shit slow past 90 and getting from 100 to 120 takes the length of the M1

but below there is cool, ragging tha from st albans to southend and back and it done 28mpg

filling the tank is 30 quid too so using 1/4 tank on that distance having fun dont make ya wanna phone ya finacial advisor or work the weekend to replace the fuel bill

hios aiont the coupra but cheep and fun, they do a thottle body conversion thats direct fit and not alot of cash , come with half leathers, oil temp gauge, volkwagon parts all over and are fun

down side is its a yellow car with read seat belts

tbh the leon is a very dated car now, still relatively a quick car, but feels very heavy to drive, if your after a performance seat, buy the 160 diesel - much better than the petrol turbo, more performance, more torque , better mpg and when remapped fookin fly, ive placed a new cupra R (225) against a (150) diesel and up to 120mph theres nothing in it - so that tells you haw fast the petrol is and how good the diesel is

I have owned the 210 LCR and have the Leon FR 150 TDI...

Both rappid... Excellent build both chipped will pull

Petrol - 270bhp/307lbs ft

TDI - 200Bhp/300lbs.

The LCR has a few more toys but are great fun and can scare quite a few cars that you would think it would be able to get near.

I have the TDI for the mileage I am doing but thats

Very reliable, Cheap to run, Fast!!!
