Pc80 10 Posted November 20, 2017 Hi all I'm considering getting a Seat Leon as a daily driver. I'm currently in a E46 M3 but I think I'll tuck it away for Winter. Looking to spend around the £6k mark on a Leon Cupra R. This would have to be about a 2007 model, with reasonable mileage (say 60k). Does anyone with experience of these cars think it's a good idea? Or is there a better alternative for that sort of budget? If it's a good idea, is there a particular variant that I should look for? cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR_Neale 10 Posted November 20, 2017 For 6k I would be looking at the audi s3 personally. Test drove a Leon a while back and was not overly impressed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pc80 10 Posted November 21, 2017 Cheers Stew. Slim pickings for S3 at that price sadly - typically well over 100k miles which I didn't want to do. Anyone else got thoughts on the Leon Cupra? Or alternatively, there are Focus ST's available with reasonable mileage. Anyone driven one of those much? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystic Blue VR 10 Posted November 21, 2017 MK1 Audi TT 225. For the money, a lot of car, if you can find a nice one. VAG parts prices, excellent forum & not nearly as bad to drive as some would have you believe! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR_Neale 10 Posted November 21, 2017 Have you considered the 3.2 a3? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 8, 2017 Personally think the 3.2 is a very overrated engine. Sounds good, but the performance isn't much to write home about and MPG isn't great at all. I'd be looking at 1.8T BAM or 2.0 TFSI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
