Title: Leon choices
Post by: TrickGTI on January 20, 2011, 09:05:58 pm

Hi people

Right one of my friends is deciding on getting a Leon as he's abit fed up of his 197 cup he would like a more sensible car and as iv got a golf ( best choice ) ha he dosnt want one and he loves the look of k1 leons!!! But he says there are loads of different ones I.e different names and as I know you lot someone will know the one to choose. His budget is top line 11000 so any help and advise is much appreciated..

Thanks  :smiley:

I'm sure he can get a decent enough Cupra for that price. The K1 is the 'limited edition' allegedly  :grin: It's certainly the one to go for but I don't think his budget will stretch to one. There is also the Cupra R which is the same as the Cupra with a different (ugly) rear end and a higher premium due to the R badge - definitely the one to avoid  :wink:

HTH  :happy2:

if you type K1 in a thread on seatcupra.net it pops up with an icon saying 'cupra with a bodykit'  i think it says it all really.  Id get a normal cupra with more standard options instead.

Far to many TDI leons knocking about with the K1 leon bodykit for my liking

+ 1, if only I had been buying a K1 a year later I would've ripped Wayne's arm off for it!
