Any guys, or gals, had experience of owning a Leon Cupra. What was the drive like? Any feedback would be useful. Got a ukturbo 2000 at the moment but looking to change

Hi,

Yes, In 2009 I brought a Cupra K1, It had all the extras, Sunroof, Black Wheels, Auto wipers & lights, Xenons & Ipod thing. Absoloute awesome car, had a Miltex back box & Revo remap to 320bhp and it was very quick, Real head turner too.

Not overly expensive to run and service etc.. (Depending on how many miles you do in it) Very comfortable around town and on motorway then all the power on tap when required.
It did like to eat front tyres though


One thing I do remember is how good the stock brakes were !!

Ok. what was mpg like? Was the Revo map worth the cash? Guess that was £400 plus ?

I used to easily get mid 30's from it without having to drive it like a 1.4.

I would say so yes, it did improve the mpg figure slightly, obviously increased power and torque but just seemed to transform the car into something even more fun.

Think it was nearer £500 all in but this was in 2009.

Thanks for that. Do like the look of them. Yours was nice

I had a 2004 Cupra for nearly 5 years, traded it in for the scooby. Miss the comfort and the good MPG but it wasnt as fun to drive on twisty back roads

Echo the above comments regarding the handling, but then it is to be expected with 4 wheel drive and my Scoob had a few grad spent on the suspension over stock suspension on the Leon so not a 100% fair comparison.


The Leon was good, just not a 4 wheel drive Scoob good lol
