My last car was a Lupo GTI. And in my opinion the Lupo is a better car than a cupra if both cars are in standard trim.
For starters, much better build quality, better equally as quick (standard)
if you are worried about fuel consumption then don't even think about a cupra.
Can we try and stay on topic here!
I cant justify the costs of a 1.8T conversion

had mine on the emissions tester and it was showing a perfect 1.01 which is as near as is humanly perfect to get it. that means i don't think it's overfuelling, and i get shite fuel cosumption.
lupo gti was very dissapointing in that it was in desperate need of more damned power and torque. Gutless in OE trim, which needed its neck ringing but not at any rpm did it feel like it wanted to go. Handling was ok, but not fantastic, but comparible to a std ibiza I would say it was slightly better sorted.
That seems fair enough.
I still cant believe the GTI is as quick as the cupra.
Try these links for first impressions.
Makes for interesting reading considering they are 5 years apart.
