Ive got a 180, dressed up as a Cupra R..... 180 is enough for me, could tweak it to 215 for a few hundred but Its all about the body styling of the R.... No other hot hatch looks as AGGRESSIVE as an R.... NOTHING
 
after much deliberation i think the lcr is def the one i will be going for i took a cupra out for a drive an it was a very wuick very capable car then i took a lcr for a drive and just instantly decided this is what i want.

5k will net me what i am after i hope so thats the price range i will be aiming for

when i was looking for a cupra i wanted a R but as the mrs was only 24 with o ncb finding insurance was hard to find, i test drove a couple of lcr and then my 03 plate facelift lc and on normal steady driving i couldnt not tell 1 from the other... yes the extra torque and exhaust seemed deeper when harder throttled but apart from that they both drove very well compared that you got the cupra and then the daddy of cupras... the only thing that does my head in is the constant rattles seemes worse when cold from the dash panels etc but loving the looks of the car one of the reasons i brought mine was looked nice being facelift plus nice leather seats
