looking at getting a new car shortly seeing as theyve dropped quite a bit in price.
two im looking at are: ibiza cupra 1.8 t mk3 or the astra coupe turbo.
like them both would be good to have opinions from owners of both?
from a middle forum rather than the ocs.

Or have you considered the EP3 TypeR??For the money they are the best car out theyr and they can be had for not alot of ££££.
P.S im not actually suggesting the CTR,im just saying it b4 the majority of CS bring it into the question.

Come to Potter's Bar and there is a huge choise of astra's to look at
Mate used to have a lovely cupra which set on fire after a night of abuse it was looking and going so well !
Both car's are pretty bad in standard form, both need dropping on decent sus and both need cooler's and exhaust and map's to go anywhere fast
the astra is a lot quicker standard though and will be easier to tune £ 4 bhp
