Not saying that
Cupra is not a very good car.
Just saying that it is not so different than FR180tsi/184tdi
Many
Cupra owners thinks wayyyyyy to much for their car...its just a Leon.
More horses and does a faster lap on track (if driver knows
how to drive) correct.
Same build quality, same materials, ~90% same car as a FR 180.
Maybe in different market areas the standard equipment is very different
Cupra vs. FR,
but in here its not...they both have the same stuff and you need to tick options if you want good equipment.
Like Seat Sound...extra option on both and SS is a must to have!
You need to tick Navi on both, you need to tick parking aid front & rear on both, you need to tick Panorama on both.
With a proper
Cupra you need to get
Cupra seats (mainly foor the looks) and Big brake kit.
I drive almost weekly my co workers
290 ST and it really does not feel ANY special vs my own FR.
I prefer more my FR, it has better ride thanks to aftermarket
coilover vs. DCC on that
Cupra,
it is faster thanks to APR, it feels more luxurious thanks to more options vs. stock
Cupra.
For sure you can upgrade
Cupra as i have done my FR and get it better than stock and faster than my FR.
But to sum things up
Cupra is just a Leon, not so special some ppl claims and thinks.
I would buy one if the price would be closer the FR, since now
Cupra dont offer enough value (ROE)
