New here but that's certainly been an interesting read so far....
The "Premium
Badge" arguments especially caught my eye as I bought a brand new BMW X1, X-drive, X line 2.0 petrol auto in april 2018. I test drove the ST FR Sport DSG 2.0TSi in March this year and ordered a new one the same day. On paper, they are pretty much identical performance wise. In reality however, they are not. The Leon is considerably quicker, more comfortable, better equipped and a lot more economical....not to mention a damn site cheaper. Dare I say...a superior car all round.
I know the question was FR v's
Cupra but upto this point I cannot fault the FR Sport....every bit quick enough for my/most peoples needs I'd guess.
After having plenty of "horse heavy" cars in the past including an XFR Jag.... fraction of seconds is not really the way I roll these days.
I did consider the
Cupra, but in all honesty it wouldn't get me to Tesco's that much quicker and I'm sure my dog will thank me too lol
I'd say good luck to those
Cupra lovers and agree with the many posters here that we buy what suits our needs and be happy with it.
It's not like comparing a 924 and a 911 Turbo after all lol
So glad I found this place.
