KADVR6 0 Posted June 24, 2007 i'm looking at getting a new car, the corrado will not be leaving me :) but cant decide between the following cars. 1, vw golf 2.8v6. its solid, refined not bad specced, goes ok. found one on a 52 plate 66k silver, going for £5500. 2, seat leon cupra r, not as solid, very well specced, goes like stink when on boost, found an 03 plate 72k going for £5250. what are your opinions??? karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted June 24, 2007 Cupra-R looks sooooo much better imho 8) Very tuneable too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ziderapple 0 Posted June 24, 2007 Mk 4 Golf's are a little dull IMO, but SEAT's fall apart, poor build quality - I know I'll get some abuse for that but its true, I've got three mates with them, all paid £10k+ for nearly new ones, and they wouldnt argue with the above comment. I nearly bought one before I got the C, so I tested a fair few, read lots of reviews, I was very tempted as they fly, but head one. (Obvioulsy heart one when it came to the C!! :lol: ) Never been in a Mk 4 VR so cant comment, but would imagine a turbo and R32 goodies would cure any dullness!

yorkshireone 0 Posted June 24, 2007 id go for the seat if your looking for a quick motor thats looks good standard, although with a bit of money spent on the exterior i think mk4s can look lovely, tough one! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted June 24, 2007 Hmmm. Think the Cupra R is pretty good. but would you miss the VR noise? Mk4's are pretty lardy though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted June 24, 2007 cheers guys, i'm thinking cupra. BUT i'm looking into getting the brackets from VF so i can put my charger onto the mk4 :) should be good for over 300bhp 280lb according to vwvortex. i may even get another charger from the states so that both will be charged :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gezza 0 Posted June 24, 2007 cupra r for me unless golf gets charger then its golf for me!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted June 24, 2007 no problems with the build quality on mine - although it's older than mine and is also the 210bhp version so may have the odd rattle or 2 here and there! I wouldn't even consider the Golf though tbh - these cars have so much potential plus, how often do you see a Cupra compared to a sporty(ish) mk4?

Goldie 2 Posted June 24, 2007 Another vote for the Leon here although i do like the Golf, the Cupra is just the much better looking car with the same VW feel about it.. I had no probs with my old Leon and would definitely have another, particularly a Cupra R... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1Campaign 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Whys the Cupra so cheap? Seems about three grand under book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
