Hey all. Not been here in a long while - years ago I owned a Mk1 petrol Cupra and loved it.
Now looking to change my car again and thinking about going back to a Leon.
Trouble is, I don't know what to go for
Defo want a diesel this time round and probably looking from around 2004-2006 models.
If i'm honest I want to spend as little as possible, while getting something in good condition with low(ish) mileage etc. as I would plan on keeping it for a long while to come.
So i'm thinking you are the best guys to ask for opinions. I'm looking at the Mk1 facelift diesel Cupra or FR OR Mk2 Sport - the funds aren't going to stretch beyond that.
I can see there isn't generally a huge amount in price between them, of course depending on the usual factors. Anyone got any comments on either/both to help me out?
I really love the styling of the Mk2 however if it saves on the old bank funds and makes sense in general i'm happy to go Mk1 as they are still a lovely looking car.
Not having any experience with the Mk2 we don't know the common issues/faults - we've previously owned an 05 Mk1 Toledo diesel SE which was fantastic.
Basically, anything you guys can tell me would be a big help in making my decision before I go out and start seriously looking. Cheers
