quote: Funny story about that... On Sunday I washed the car for the first time and decided to give it a decent coat of wax, then after that just take it round the poles on a weekly/fortnightly basis. It's a daily and will do more miles than I've ever done in a car, and it won't be mine in 23 months and 3 weeks. I dug through my cleaning supplies and found a wee tub of "angel wax" which is apparently especially formulated for grey and silver cars. I had this from the Subaru days, obviously. I'd only ever used it once on the Subaru and couldn't remember why - so I whipped it out and got to work. Instructions say to coat the whole car, let it cure then buff off - so covered the entire car and came to buff off, and it was like fucking concrete :lol: I could only describe it as the same consistency as weetabix leftovers if you leave your bowl on the side over night, rock solid and wasn't going anywhere. I actually ended up using a hand polish to buff it off, then gave it a quick wipedown with some Megs quick wax spray. The Angelwax is hateful bastard stuff, never ever use it or attempt to use it. I got the odd spec on black trim and it's the hardest thing to remove from that too. I had to throw away two microfibre towels and pretty sure it ruined a t-shirt too. | |

I bet someone or even you has rubbed the painted in the sun and commented on the sparkle. People do that, it's like metallic paint is a new thing still :lol: | |

Not a fan of the looks of the mk3. To plain considering that SEATs supposed to be the fun side of the vag group. They're bloody quick tho. Nothing but a simple map takes them up to 375bhp. | |

That's great mpg. Most I've had out the golf on a run was 38 | |

Is that a hair or a crack near the 20? Either way, I don't like it. | |

This car is getting a fairly good reception it seems, the people who've seen it/been in it seem quite fond too. | |

290bhp in a Leon is crazy. Seat have come a long way... I think that looks fantastic! Good choice over the Golf R imo, because I see those every where now. | |

A few magazines did track tests between the older Cupra 280 and the Golf R of the time and the Leon was typically a bit quicker round a lap but obviously there wasn't much in it. | |

It probably would be faster though. It's about 10bhp less and 10lb/ft less and about 40kg lighter. | |

Whats the performance like compared to a Golf R? Are they same engine? Id imagine this would destroy 1 once moving as no 4wd transmission losses etc. | |

quote: I know, it's crackers. I think that might be part of why I went for it, getting a bit bored now of the friends/family comments regarding my choice of cars. As far as they're concerned I've gone sensible for a bit :cool: I couldn't have been less excited about the arrival of this car, since ordering it I went and bought the Lotus so I've been somewhat distracted plus the fact it's a lease - can't get excited about renting a car. When it got delivered at work and I saw it in the carpark - I finally got a bit giddy about it. Since driving it for a few days I'm rather chuffed, it's much quicker than I imagined and critically is very comfortable. I wouldn't be embarrassed taking a grandparent or "non car friend" out in this car, which I've not been able to say about any of my cars for years :lol: Cheers dudes. | |

they look really good. Will be better on fuel than a golf as it doesn't have awd. | |

The car I'll be using for daily duties has finally arrived, so thought I'd post up some pics. It's a Seat Leon Cupra 290, it's mine for two years on a 10k/year lease. (sorry) |
