Go drive one, cant imagine it being upto the GTI standars though. Will lack instant over taking power unless dropped a few gears.

That's the killer,test drive are fine but living with such a peaky unit might be a different story.
dont the older cupras share the same chassis as mk4golf and mk1tt,?

mk1 Leon is a Golf mk4 with a A3 interior and a bigger boot of course

[gtisteve]

So a mk1 tt is a mk4 golf with cupra engine and 4 wheel drive?
Mk4golf s were totally slated though which worries me bout the cupra,tt and a3 of the time.

Ps,thanks to every1. That's commented i posted on a few forums and some just dont have the sense of online comunity they have here,

Out of the box the mk4, A3, mk1 Leon aren't great handling wise, but it doesn't take much to get them very good

[Greeners]

^^^^ Agree with Gaz but the Cupra is still better outta the box than a MK4.

You will get bored with the Type R very quickly, you have to ring it's neck constantly to get anything like the performance of a Turbo'd car.

PS, there's a reason the Renaults are so cheap!

Hmm,what sort of suspension mods would be recomended in a mk1 cupra?

Coilies and ARB's I would imagine would sort it good and proper!

Matt, yep probably.  SEAT dealer in Notts.  Was only a few months old at the time.  £2k's worth of satnav went also and then they refused to pay out on insurance for it!

I agree the out the box the mk1 Leon is better than the mk4 golf, maybe aside from the Anniversary as that came with the better engine and 6 speed box - oh and looked the best.

For a stock 5 door hatch I thought the handling was not bad. The engine is easily tunable to 260BHP+ and the standard Brembo brakes aren't bad either! 

Some guides here also
