difference between fr and cupra ?

[BenH]

It's not going to help much on a car without a mechanical diff. Out of interest, what happens after 3000rpm to all that lovely torque? Talking about the difference between the FR and Cupra to get back on topic, whilst you mention the peak figure, what about the Cupra's torque spread, its at peak from 1700-5800rpm, which means you don't have to do an impression of someone rowing a boat when making brisk progress.


I'm not sure you'll bait many more Cupra drivers, as they're probably out enjoying their cars instead of sat working out how to improve their MPG, have you tried streamlining?

Wait, are you saying you torque steer round corners??!

No but torque steering is exciting, right?

I enjoy my car and my bank balance at the end of the month, you enjoy yours

That's better! Thank you, you too. Leons are great cars.

I'm confused. Are we comparing current accounts now

Has this thread just turned into an argument?

Definitely not! We'll stick to cars

We're all/mostly Leon owners therefore we're all friends here any car debates are just that, debates, everyone is welcome to their opinion and if we couldn't value others' and vice versa then we're probably in the wrong place

Cup racing is better than formula racing, fact

 

[Redline]

I can't believe this grew into such a ****-measuring contest peaking with the very nice metalic gray FR with very nice side skirts indeed!


It's a fact CUPRA is the better car.

I didn't even consider the FR. Is the FR a nice car? Sure it is.
Is it a very exciting 300hp best bang for the buck overall family hauler available to buy? I don't know since i never drove one but it probably isn't because that definition is exactly what the CUPRA is.


PS: I don't think they even sell the FR in Sweden. It does however seem to be a huge hit in Turkey based on INSTAGRAM.

Does the Fr have a differential made of magic then?

 

[Lentäjä]

CUPRA is M / AMG / RS
FR is M kit / AMG Package / S-Line



it's actually harder than expected to find the exact technical differences.
Can anyone throw up a nice comparison chart?

Cupra as an AMG / M / RS?
You must be joking right
What you were trying to say...Cupra is like S3 on Audi, not an RS for sure.
And you are comparing SEAT with top spec Premium cars...
classic example of Cupra owners...thinking way too much for their Cupras.
Try put it in the class of Opel Astra OPC, Renault Sport Megane, Golf GTi Clubsport and you will be taken more seriously.

You get 3 Cupras with a price of an entry level AMG, RS or M

Double the power and only 1.5 seconds faster

Double the power...on what stock Cupra vs stock FR180tsi or FR184tdi?
Not on my math class

I don't know, wasn't my comment originally, I have a 184 but I agree 184x2 = 368

I was surprised that they sell anything else than chinese Volvo and Saab over there.
But it seems that you have all Leon models too http://www.seat.se/:whistle:
Strange that you have not seen any FR or driven any and you still can say that Cupra is better car

They're not talking about the price, who would even think that? It is the halo brand of Seat, like VXR is to Vauxhall, or VRS is to Skoda and yes, like AMG is to Mercedes and M is to BMW. Calm down dear.

Corsa VXR, now we're talking

) cucumbers. Now there is a cool vegetable.

 

[JACUPRA280]

This has turned into a huge **** measuring contest. So let's settle it:

The Leon is a good car. Irrespective of the model.

The way I see it, FR is the sporty trim and CUPRA is the sports model.

I had a corsa vxr! One of the originals from 2007, loved the car but it was unreliable af. I had so much go wrong with it I had to get rid before the warranty ran out
