I'm about to change my
Cupra R 225. Do I buy a nearly new
Cupra K1 or wait for
Cupra R? And how much is the R gonna cost? Will I be disappointed after my 225 or has the mark 2 moved the game on? Advice from the mark 2 guys please cos I've not driven one yet!
MKII has moved the game the engines are much better IMO than the 20VT lump more refined smoother power delivery and more economical. The Leon
Cupra R will be the FL version and I think that is better than the pre FL Leon. Interior has improved quality wise, improved dash display, climate and stereo. USB is now standard on
Cupra/
Cupra R. Suspension more compliant. Exterior wise the changes to the rear window front and rear badges and bumper have made it look less MPV like with a
lower more sporty stance.
Handling of the MK1 R was sharp and MKII is pretty similar just a little more refined. Personaly I would wait for the R but no harm in test driving a
K1 and seeing how you get on. In the end a good test drive will confirm or deny what is best to do.
