Picked myself up a little SEAT Leon Cupra R last week, haven't really driven it because it's had a coil pack problem, now sorted however. Now the thing has been remapped to 264 BHP (only a 1.8 turbo 225 standard), my lord is it a quick bloody thing  . Being front wheel drive too it torque steers like a pig, it properly tugs at the wheel, nice to drive though I like it. It's erm not very subtle though  :

I like that shape,customer of mine had one with a similar output and as you say it were bloody rapid,he used to reckon on 3k to wear out the front tyres though

This will spin in 3rd in the dry, it's pretty lethal even though it's wearing Bridgestone Potenzas  .

Why do the words "boy racer" keep going through my mind 

The only times I see cars like this is usually sat up someones backside or stuck in a ditch

My experience of that tyre type on front wheel drive cars is that they are truely shite!

So no surprise it wheel spins

I quite like them. Good value for money if you're not a badge snob.

I'm not sure about the (I'll get my sunglasses) colour though.....

Thats a lovely colour  much better than the burnt orange

Very nice

I quite like the Leon. One of the few relatively modern cars where they've failed so far to make it goppingly ugly. No doubt they'd succeed soon enough.

Had a few as hire cars in Spain and not managed to destroy one yet (apart from one street-furniture-front-bumper interface issue).

They are great cars,if i wasn't such an old git i would love one but i like comfort over speed now,god i feel old.

i did nearly buy 1 last year,but they do like coil packs when they are tuned to over 250bhp,might be worth keeping 1 as a spare just incase

Got four new ones on order, and a nice couple of spares to go with it when it sells  . Will be giving it a little service this weekend too, plugs & all filters.

[martin42]

even after being tuned they still get a very good mpg out of them engines

Driven sensibly it's pretty good on fuel, foot down though, it's all gone quickly  .
