Owned one? you sure it was an R? if he was revod he would have made you look like a pair of afghans in a golf kart.
I raced an standard octavia VRS (same engine, turbo IC as normal leon cupra) in my remapped ibiza that was making 210 and i only just edged past him.
revo stage 1? what other mods? still on standard K03?
You would need a K03S, revo stage 2 and a few supporting mods to be in with a chance of 'owning' one.
The weight difference is not as much as you would expect, dont forget the leon is the golf platform and not a big ass car so to speak plus take remap figures on an ibiza with standard K03 with a pinch of salt as they are 'peak' figures. the K03S really makes a difference, vastly superior powerband with boost to the redline.

And before anyone digs yes i know the leon cupra R has the K04.
having owned an ibiza cupra, octavia VRS, leon cupra all remapped i guess this puts me in a good position to denote real life experience and not internet warrior "ive read reviews" comments.

You would get a lovely leon cupra R for 9-10k as well. head over tales in value for money when comparing to some of its newer rivals like the megane. plus you wont get hiroshima drop a nuke type depreciation on the leon like you will on the automobiles made by our smelly french cunt neighbours.

[Edited on 12-06-2007 by Steve]
IMO it's the only incarnation of the Leon that does look better. The normal Leons look bland as fuck.
are we talking about normal leons here?
I am talking about 106 GTi's.

This is my Leon Cupra R.
Its a 2002 model so is the 210 version, not a lot difference between that and the 225 but I didn't have the budget for a newer one. Once remapped though I've heard they produce around the same which is 265bhp. You can pick up a decent 210 for around £9k and spend the money saved on getting it remapped.
When I first started looking for a new car I was looking at the S3 but for I wanted it was out of my price range. I haven't driven a Megane either so I can't comment between the two. I took my LCR round Brands with the CorsaSport lot on their track day and loved every minute of it so highly reccommend them
Have a look over on www.seatcupra.net if you need any info.

Does it have to be a FWD hatch for ~£15k?
For example R33 GTR's are £10k-£15k and have far more presence and tunability (if thats your bag) than any of the FWD hatches mentioned.
A Nissan 350Z is also easily in your price range.
Other than that Supra TT, last of line 200SX, Pulsar GTiR (if you want a hatch) or MR2 TT and be left with a lot of change for proper tuning

I've owned both. The Ibiza Cupra R and the Leon Cupra R, which I still have. Out of the 2 I would say the Ibiza is much more fun to drive but the Leon is so much better put together and stable. It also loves a little bit of remap on the side. Here are mine:
Ibiza:
Leon:
My leon is re-mapped, Forge DV007 dump valve, Forge TIP, Hurricane induction kit and goes pretty well indeed!!
