Well, I sold the pug last week and a cupra popped up locally to my home
so I went down there, it was a bit over my budget but with some haggling
and few hundred quid borrowed I picked it up.

I absolutely love it, it feels so tight and new to drive, dash board is amazing.
It's running 209BHP and it really does fly, buckets of torque too.

It's got some pretty budeget tyres on it but has billstein shocks (standard springs)
and it handles a lot better than I was expecting, it's quite a bit lighter than an a3
or golf equivelant too.

Anyway, I cant stop driving it. Done £60 fuel already in 2 days

Here are a couple of pics.....





Will get some pics of the interior soon, the seats are half leathers with red
inserts so pretty sexy.

What do you think peeps?

Looks nice, i think those wheels need changing though, they are doing nothing for the cars looks! Bet 209bhp feels pretty quick in that little thing!
Dont really know much about them tbh, aslong as your happy tho

Thanks

Yeah the wheels are a tad bland, they look much better in white or even
a nicer shade of silver. Might get some of the cupra r OZ's, not sure
yet.

Not really a fan of these cars but look nice enough buddy. Deffo go for white wheels, wud look loads better

Bet 209 bhp in that feels pretty nippy

Nice!

I was considering one mid last year when i was selling the '6 as a potential car. Loads of power to be had from a little car, but I looked around a few and was dissapointed with the bland looks and interior instantly in my op. Not to my liking but they are very decent cars none the less!

How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

looks good buddy

i really like these

welcome to the world of petrol bo0st

Thanks peeps.

Happypaul- with a ko3s it will be 245ish BHP and with an IHI can run 300BHP on standard
internals safely

Diesel FTL, just kidding they are good, just a tad agricultural for a sporty car and on full
chat diesels get near on the same mpg as petrols, only cruising they get mad mpg.

Ryan- PM'd

Cheers Terry Petrol boost FTW, petrol guage FTL

Paul- It's hard enough finding one within 200 miles tbh let alone a clean one
I got very lucky though and this one popped up local, it turns out the guy is also
a friend of a friend and he has had it back to sort out a couple of things a day or
two ago free of charge. great bloke

Lucky me
