2003 Seat Leon Cupra R review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, will make you and your passengers smile, a real head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked paintwork around front drivers side headlight, fixed under warranty.
Leaking bulkhead caused drivers side foot-well puddle again fixed under warranty.
General comments?
Car quick in standard form even better with a remap boosting power to around 260bhp, although have to be careful with the right foot when in 1st & 2nd!
Handling pretty good, but not as it should be, tail feels very heavy when pushing quite hard into corners.
Impressive interior finish very comfortable over short and long journeys and many standard features to keep you busy for example: Climate control and six disk auto-changer,
Overall for £18k there is no better car on the road for looks and performance.
