Pulsar an amazing car,especially as it has a huge turbo in it,so you get that true wow factor. Handling is great and generally a light car.

R32 in my opinion is only good for its' sound. When i had the FR it kept with the R32 around the country roads. Although i think this was down to tyre choice and the fact the R32 is heavier. The R32 rolls a lot more too.

Boxster is a serious car in every sense (money especially for servicing). I sold it due to it just not being practical enough. Great again for handling, but not in the wet. Having the N-rated tyres too is better for high speed cornering.

I went back to the Cupra simply because you get a hell of a lot of car for the money. it's quicker than R32, Boxster, and has more than 2 seats. Plus for the £280 extra i spent on a re-map to 300bhp (speak to Mike at Motech) was money well spent compared to a £10K premium for the S3s 265bhp. The only bad thing about the Cupra is the interior, but then i dont live in my car, so for the hour's drive i do i can live with it.

Aside all the above, in the VAG group, the best car i had for a short space of time by far was the RS4... no, not the R8! over-rated! Rs4 all the way.

Snap!

What a corker of a first car, plenty of leg over room eh?

1. Ford Fiesa 1.0
2. Original Mini (Cooper colours - drove like a GoKart).
3. Renault 5 GT Turbo
4. BMW 5 Series 535i Sport
5. Vauxhall Astra
6. Renault 5 GT Turbo (Was my Fav car until my Leon FR below)
7 SEAT Mk4 Ibiza TDi 1.4 (61mpg).

8. CURRENT - SEAT Mk2 Leon TDi FR.

Been through a few cars, a number were for practicality.
My more recent Renault 5 GT Turbo (No. 6 was a SWEET motor in great condition for its age.

Then moved to SEAT, when I picked up my Mk4 SEAT Ibiza.
Recently sold the Ibiza, and "upgraded" to my current Leon FR, which has to be my Fav car so far!!

1. Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 Petrol
2. SEAT Leon FR TDi

Guess which has been my favourite

Well here goes:

1: Fiat Uno 1.1 1985 (just would not break but nothing worked in the first place)
2: Vauxhall Belmont 1.6 GL 1986 - I know I know - Metallic Green too
3: Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 SRi 1984 - one of my favourites
4: Rover 216 GSi 1993 - not bad but a grandads car - great gearbox
5: Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 SRi 1994 - OK
6: Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXI 2000 - Oh dear Oh dear - worst car I have owned
7: Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi 1997 - fun but unreliable
8: Seat Leon 1.9TDI SE 2001 - Got me in to Seat's
9: Seat Leon 1.8T Cupra 2001 - Nice
10: Seat Leon 1.8T Cupra R 2003 - One of my best cars - in red too
11: Audi A3 2.0TDI Sport 2003 - OK - didn't really do it for me
12: Audi A3 3.2 Quatro S-Line 2003 - Lovely engine and much better than above
13: Peugeot 406 2.0 Coupe 2000 - financial issues forced me into it - VERY unreliable
14: Vauxhall Vectra 2.0T SRI 2005 - actually not bad once it was re-mapped
15: Vauxhall Signum 2.8T V6 Design 2006 - odd looking but caught many people by suprise - quick!
16: Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTDM 2005 - Alfa's do have a funny effect on you - best looking car I've owned but a new clutch = £800 byeee
17: Seat Leon Cupra 2008 - couldn't resist it in white, especially after my other Seat's, glad to be back.

i started on golf gti,s then before leon cupra mk1 had ibiza 2.0gti cupra

I had a Alfa Romeo 156 facelifted car. No Alfa jokes plz, loved the car, no reliability issues ever. But then some %$£@ drove into the back while stationary and wrote it off.

Love the Leon now though
