Is that Leon Cupa eck??

Bit to much $$$$ mate Nice though.Should imagine there very Audi/ish to drive though? Flat power delivery..lack of steering feel etc?

Might try a tegra next or an RX7.

Yes flat power delivery..Meaning it arrives smoothly not in spikes.

And i never said handling i said steering feel.Keep up steve FFS.

Yea I ment the Leon mate, I know what you mean by price as well bit outta my price range as well unfortunatly.

I was thinking about the Ibiza Cupra as well, you can pick a nice 51 plate up for around £6k now which aint to shabby

French clutched and gearboxes are the worst I've used, not a patch on Ford or VAG.
