A leon cupra with a revo remap is absurdly good value for money. Would tempt me back to a FWD hot hatch for sure.

I've got my eye on the GTI I tested..........a lot of bang for buck that is for sure.

That depends on the car though, and how it gets its power down. When I had my 200bhp 205 I would be mostly agrreing with you as I could never get the power down in that, especially in the wet, but my ST is totally different and drives more like an AWD vehicle, even when wet.

Still impressed with that Alfa 147 track time though... from a few posts back.
