Just noticed on the Leon FAQ's that the cupra r in red had a version change from flash red to emocion red. Has anyone for any pics of the diff reds?
Cupra R: Common Faults
- Thread starter scarface
- Start date
Just bought mine 2 weeks ago, LCR 2003, stage one revo, FSSH, 40000 mls, black, body work in excellent condition no dings or dents, payed a bit over 9000.......well worth it for the fun factor, getting 35mpg on a steady 60-70mph run, which is a bonus.
WOW a 2000 model LCR thats very early.............infact it's two and a half years ahead of the first UK LCR press cars

erm no not quite that bad. Its actually:
£210 2008
£300 2009
£310 2010
(the £550 is the first year tax only so effectively an additional £240 tax on new vehicle purchases for the same emissions bracket).

I went through the exact same thing 2yrs ago.
I too ruled out the rx8 because it was too expensive so took a test drive of the Cupra R and Civic type R. I'm led to believe the civic will beat the Cupra R to 70mph but the Cupra is quicker off the starting block.
In the Civic I found I didn't like the gear stick in the dash board and that you have to thrash it. I just preferred the drive of the Cupra, it seemed to have more space, no hassle with long doors that you get with 3 doors and some say the old Civic looks a bit like a van and the Cupra isn't as common. You can't beat the aggressive front end of the Cupra.
I'll be getting rid of my red one in the summer if your interested, may even chuck in my CUPRA plate for the right offer. Just had the doors seals done so you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Umm isn't that the same thing
What I meant was, shorter distances 0-50 the Cupra is quicker but flat out the Civic is suppose to catch up and be quicker by the time you hit 70. Read it somewhere, could be a load of rubbish.
I don't go by the service book, I go by my car flashing "service" at me every 10K miles!
Unless they upped it to 12K miles for the 225 LCR?
id expect it to be the other way around. The cupra is fast on the move, not so fast off the line. Its a heavy car.
Me too. A Civic Type R would probably beat even a remapped LCR to 40mph, but after that it's got no chance.
