Left work tonight, driving steady and a Leon Cupra R 54reg gets behind me, fog lights on just to look that extra sporty I guess. Anyway, turns on to a good straight bit of road and after me taking no notice(engine still cold) he bats past me and puts his hazards on, Why? Anyway he goes off, then when he realises I'm still ignoring him, he slows in a village waiting for me to catch up. He then proceeds to go really slow! Guess he wanted to show me his rear Cupra R badge. Am I missing something or do they seem to have a complex?? I had a similar incident with a Leon FR a few weeks back.

Awaiting Poverty to give an accurate answer to this baby :signLOL:
any spare stokey? :popcornsoda:

sad to say that whenever a hot hatch gets older and cheaper all the knobs buy em! LCR is a good example loads by me with seat right back :signLOL: dont think its a complex thing as often seats are better than the equivalent v dubs, defo with the LCR at the time. as with the cupra v mk5 gti.
-
better ? Or just more power ? :popcornsoda:
-
As the advert says....like a Golf, but not a Golf :innocent:

Ive had an ibiza and two Leon's and i now have a golf.....What does that say?
:popcornsoda:
-
its the renault drivers who are the worst at it :popcornsoda: :popcornsoda: :grin:
-
I'm generalising [which means I can say what the fuk I like and get away with it], but some Seat drivers seem to think they've got something to prove whenever they come across a GTI. I tend to slow down and ignore them, let them get on with it.

No way! Going by what the OP has posted its obvious the SEAT driver is an unworthy chav not worth the petrol to have a quick blast, enthusiast to enthusiast! My night time exploits attracts 700hp skylines, a rs4 driven by a ex rally driver who likes to drift round roundabouts, the new GTR, tons of hothatches, audi r8's, 997 turbos, M3's, AMG's and countless big bhp classics like the oldschool cossies ans v8 powered volvos.
Lowly mk1 SEAT leons driven by a baseball cap wearing chav wouldnt even get a look in :wink: :signLOL:

And just when you think you've lost them on the road.......
They all turn up on the forum....Seat's , Skoda's, Audi's......... :chicken: :evilgrin: :signLOL: :popcornsoda:

no it's more like could afford the Audi but found it dull and boring :P

You just book yourself on a SEAT trackday and drive around them all like they're rolling chicanes. :evilgrin:
Idiots are simply just that, no matter what they drive. I stay well away from people like that.

Couldnt afford two audi's :rolleye:
I remember when I was at the Surrey rolling road, and as we were leaving there were these Golf GTI's chasing after this SEAT, think they wanted danGBs 400hp Leon to play aswell, but we didnt take the bait. We didnt feel the need to take part in that inferior complex game :wink:
Just all fun and games lads, at the end of the day we all drive the same mass produced cars withslightly different pricetags and creature comforts :drinking:

absolutely!! on my list at the time of buying the golf was a K1, Edition 30, S3 or Focus ST.
Almost bought an S3 but it had the recaro buckets and there was no way i would have got the wee mans car seat past them. As it turns out two weeks after i looked at it my mate bought it for his misses!
Eventually saw my Ed 30 and it ticked all the boxes plus its got a few extra toys on it from the factory so bought it!

Think it might be a case of you being the only one laughing mate as I mean that I wish vag made a hothatch with those attributes, it's not what I think I have lol :wink:

Your right that is also amusing! :grin:
Can't knock me for thinking you would think that though!! :wink: :happy2:

I find the worst offenders are the Leon 170 FR diesel drivers, everytime I see one they are always inches off my back bumper :mad:

Anything newer than 57 doesnt have a tdi badge.

I'll have you know im a very sensible driver, just ask poverty lol ;)
I think your generalising a bit too much, all marques have cocks driving them :signLOL:

You can get a 56 plate FR TDI 170, probably even a 06 but not many around.

Have you ever seen the interior of a Mk1 leon! He was more than likely trying to sneak a peek into a car that isnt all black shiny plastic!!

What this dash????

Not in the old ones - exactly the same. I used to own one and have been in an S3.
-
Well that is news to me never seen the inside of an old S3, but I know that dash as the Leon MK1, and I really am not its biggest fan (especially in shiny plastic form :wink: ) If I was sitting with that in front of me, I would be looking out of my windows for things to race!
-
i had one too and defo not bad at all
-
:sleepy:
If you are getting in to the whole SEAT interior thing on the MK1 Leon, remember it had the uprated TT K04 engine and Brembo brakes over the MK4 Golf 1.8T :wink:
The snobbishness of the odd VW fanatic about other VAG marks kinda bugs my happiness to be honest especially when Audi is the premium brand in the group :P

i actually reckon that looks better than the current cupra interior. Love the cupra from the outside but couldnt stand the inside.

I agree, my money was almost down on a K1 in black with black wheels 10 months ago but I just couldn't because of the interior quality. I'm told the facelift has improved plastic quality?

facelift interior is better, shame about the new front end though.
Thing is the leon interior is just as good/bad as that of the focus and astra which it competes against.
So tell me lads, if you had 20k, would you buy the cupra, the astra vxr or the focus ST?
-
before i bought mine i test drove the Golf GTI, Cupra, Astra VXR, focus ST, mazda 3 MPS and a diesel octavia vRS.
im not a huge fan of the golf anyway, but wanted to try the engine as it was the same as the vRS petrol. hated the VXR apart from its pace. Liked the drive from the cupra, absolutely loved everything about the ST, hated the interior and drab style of the MPS, loved the interior and shape of the vRS but wasnt keen on the diesel engine.
The result was either going to be a an ST, cupra or petrol vRS. the ST was really common in germany, so my thoughts the vRS as it would remap past the cupra with no issues, damn i wish i knew about the turbo differences.
-
Dont see where this threads going tbh, it started out as rather subjective anyway and now its just handbags, doent entirely see the reason it was brought back up either :stupid:. I aint bothered about the crappy interior, the solid engine mount soon gets rid of it anyway :signLOL:.
-
[quote Not in the old ones - exactly the same. I used to own one and have been in an S3.
[/quote]
Not exactly the same materials. Shape yes. Materials were much much better. Had two S3s and three friends with Cupra Rs.
Chris.

Very fair point RobH, and the thing is all of us are on here through a love of fast cars, and driving. And this is all about some un-tasteful driving and nothing to do with the car they were in. I will retract my leon interior statement, as it was at least on a par with audi's of the time, and we all know they do good interiors.
