Mk 2 cupra r v mk 3 cupra 280
- Thread starter golf gti dude
- Start date
i had a mk2 lcr before my 280. im with kazand i still miss the lcr the 280 is definately better in a lot of ways. the ride is so much smoother, it corners faster and it looks better but theres something i miss from the lcr it just felt a bit more raw .i think a lot of it might be because my lcr was modded though and if i get round to changing the exhaust and remapping the 280 i think i will enjoy it a lot more
Yes and no, loved the car but not the power.
But I was the same with my MK2 LCR.. It felt very slow compared to my Stage MK2 FR TDI, even though the TDI only had around 230bhp compared to 265bhp it was all about the torque.
Blimey a 12plate R MK2 that suprises me as I have one from new 2012.
I test drove the mk3 Cupra dsg briefly and am sure it's a great car .It's just come 4th again in the AUTO EXPRESS BEST FAST 100 CARS ! (todays issue )
All I can say is after a re-map and I went stage 1 with Apr and bits added it's so much better (mk2 cupra R) to drive .I love it .
I'm sure yours with a map will be very quick ,but maybe hard to keep power down .

I remembered your early posts when the mk3 came out . Just thought it was hard enough to keep power down in standard cupra let alone stage 2
I struggle now to keep powers own so Andrew what's the secret?
