Cool

Loads here... www.seatcupra.net/forums They dont handle anywhere near as well as a Clio out of the boxc but V tuneable due to using the VAG 1.8T engine. 210hp & 240lb/ft easily available with a chip.

Thumbs up

Just a remap. If done by one of the reputable VAG tuners should cost around £500 depending on which one you choose.

Try these...

I know someone selling a mint 51 plate with 20k miles at the moment. Imperial blue with tints - looks well smart.

Think he is looking for £8200 but is selling it to a dealer as he needs a quick sale

I'd go for the rarer Cupra R. 180brake as std but doesn't make a difference when you can re-map them. think its got different suspension settings and has some more gauges and cool stuff like that.

I have had BOTH Cupra & Cupra R

If you are gonna tune it i would go for the Cupra but if your going to keep it standard get the R

Insurance can be harder to get on the R

Great fun @ 212 BHP front wheel drive 0-60 around 6.5sec(My best 1/4 14.29)
