So what do people think of the leon cupra r 225bhp?
Just curious as i quite like these after seeing one up close.

I would think theres quite a bit of potential in the engine also.
Seem to go quite well too.

Lots of people buying them at the moment.

I was taken around a track in Loughborough as a driving experience thing by a proffessional in one... I was very impressed! :)

Tempting to be honest. Just the rpice tag ont hem at the moment.
But im sure that willd rop of over the next 12 months.

Need to start looking at future possibilitys. As the nova isnt gonna stay forever . Keeping any eye on some salvage yards at the minute to see what stuff is about.

A mate had one a while back, tis a lovely looking car. Just really really boring to drive.

Tuning is a piece of piss tho, ?500 remap see's 270bhp and simalar levels of torque!

stunning!

We (the wife and I) almost bought one last year after the missus crashed the MG - but the price tag (and insurance) were a tad too big.

prefer it in the Seat Yellow.

Hardly ever see them in 2 door models... (colour I like is below)

my mate owns one. nice car and quite quick. as aid easy to tune and from what i hear from a mate who into his VAGs the bottom end of these engine is goof for 400 horse before upgrading is needed. surprising since they are only 1.8s. the handle very well for a 2wd aswell as they have an elctronic LSD.

anyone the boost levels they run at?

I like them, a mate has a cupra (not R 180bhp) and is very slick, only bad point IMO is they need RWD!
