I'd settled on a Leon, mainly because of the availability of Adaptive Cruise Control and it being a Golf underneath without the premium price tag. I wanted something quick too.
I went to see a 184 diesel FR at a dealership nearby, but the car had been sold that morning. So as to not waste my trip I asked for a test drive in a Leon, all they had to hand was a Cupra 280 which I had a go in and was deeply impressed, but felt that it would be too expensive and Mrs wouldn't approve.
I did eventually get to drive a 184 diesel FR and it was nice, but I couldn't get the Cupra out of my head. I was on the lookout for a new car after just 6 months into owning a BMW 530d GT, which I'd quickly lost interest in. I didn't want to make the same mistake again and buy something I didn't LOVE. So I bought the Cupra and 2½ years later I still love it like I did on that first test drive.....
Follow your heart, not your head......
