    New Cupra will have two variants

    The FR doesn't look half bad, I think the Cupra won't disappoint. A pluggable hybrid Cupra would be nice.

    SEAT have ruined the LEON

    It looks quite attractive to me. I'll admit my very first impression at the official presentation wasn't great but after seeing several mini reviews I had a better look at it. I now find it quite striking. The only detail I'm not a fan of is the massive C pillar in the hatchback version. It...

    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    What's that about only the driver's side front break being equipped with Brembo rotor, not the passenger side, on the Cupra R, making it not good for track? If true I find that shocking and wonder what the reason would be?? Won't that affect the balance on heavy breaking? Also disapointung to...

    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    Sadly the "R" has become a marketing gimmick as it offers little gain in performance. The new copper colour is an acquired taste. I hope they do a better job with the "Cupra" sub-brand in the future.

    how many miles has everybody done??

    Did 240k km on my 2003 LCR. They'll give me 3,000 EUR for it. Not worth selling, I'd rather keep it considering the handling and instant turbo oomph. My wife drives it now and looks dead sexy in it, another plus. Edit: now 244k km, alternator gone, stranded on motorway at night, mist and 4...

    Cupra R vs Leon 1.9 TDI FR

    About 95% of the round trip is motorway, I average 40 mpg. 100% motorway would get me a fraction more mileage. As already said, urban would get you about 18mpg. See how much motorway and urban you drive to work out your average.

    Cupra R vs Leon 1.9 TDI FR

    I use my LCR for daily commute, a round trip of 80 miles. I can do 40mpg (5.8l/100km) on motorway if driven economically. If driven 100% in the city, mileage falls down to 18 mpg. Diesel is dirty by definition, problems with EGR valve. No pleasure if you want to have the occasional spirited...

    TCS/ESP Sensor

    Mine is coming on intermittemtly, especially under strong braking. It goes away when restating engine. I guess one of sensors must be faulty. Might take it to the stealers at some point for an estimate.
