Default Seat Leon Cupra K1

Anyone any experience of one of these?
Only really after real life experiences as oposed to 2WD/4WD or brand opinions.
I've seen this one on Pistonheads which caught my eye.Not too keen on the wheels, but the spec looks ok.

Had the Cupra (260bhp petrol) as a company car for 12 months. Was great as a fun daily driver and I was fortunate to keep the car for a month when I got made redundant. So naturally it got cained I even took it on a track day before handing it back.
One thing for sure it's plenty quick in a straight line but nowhere near as capable or sure footed as any Impreza

I've got a Leon TDi 170bhp and even that struggles to put the power down sometimes. 365bhp would be a problem I think

I've only got a 312 bhp Blob WRX, will the Seatnot be any more capable ?
I need 3x3 point rear belts, so my Impreza options are limited to UK only so I'm looking to other marques.
