Leon Cupra R (225bhp version) and I have to say what a brilliant car it was, the handling was fantastic and the pick up through the gears was brilliant, inside the car was a bit plain but everything was there that you'd ever need, TC, ESP air bags all round cd player etc, the brakes wernt as good as I thought they were gonna be which was a bit disappointing considering its got brembo stoppers but other than that I couldnt fault it
TOP CAR

Just go onto the seat site and fill in your details for a test drive of a car of your choice from your nearest dealer, they phoned me within a day to arrange a time

yeah, i've test driven one too 
excellent cars, 'nuff said.
interior was only let down imo. you get the cupra r seats, but has no option for leather.

spanking new one? Demo model?
probably been trashed by the various salesmen, and brakes may of been overheated at some point.
the stopping gear on these cars is immense, especially as the Leon doesnt weigh a great deal....

It was a demo model mate, but only had 2k on the clock, was in red too which is a great colour on them imo
Richard - I know what you mean not very exciting but I aint really keen on leather anywasy so its not a biggy for me personally

more power, more torque, 5 doors, better image, looks better, better day to day handling, explain how the CTR is better

cupra r front seats are the same as the golf 1.8T so leather is a option

More power but not as fast, not really better image, not necessarily better handling day to day, an i think some established magazines and a shitload of people will agree with me Funny how LCR hasnt sold many yet u seetons of CTRs huh

not everything is speed robbo. it has a better image - CTR's are associated with assholes. PCR is more expensive and has 5 doors compred to the CTR. mags are assholes too cause they comapre the cars on track not the fucking road where they should do.

I'd say it's not in the hot hatch market at all. the LCR is a practicle small family hatch with some poke and good handling. the CTR is gay
