totally agree on the exhaust note, anything 4 pot tends to sound flat, 5 pot focus st's, 6 pot mg zs's, r32 golfs / vr6 pots etc all have a far better sound,
hell even a mates 155bhp bravo hgt sounds gorgeous,

Evo Magazine are looking for a mint and (and ideally unmodified) Leon Cupra Sub8 to drive and photograph for a feature. Find out more here .

what i think we need to do is get a cupra 4wd, R32 lump, turbo, cupra R kit, R32 seats - and of course it will need to be yellow, JOB DONE 
I had a MK5 R32, and went up against my mates LCR. Rolling at 30mph, three horn beeps and then flat out to about 120mph, my front bumper was in line with his back bumper.
I prefer the torque of the LCR but in standard form, if I was taking both cars to a track I'd take the R32, better chassis and more predictable handling.
Benefit of the LCR? Better looks, better Economy, more torque, easier and cheaper to increase power oh, and my LCR was less than half the price of my MK5 R32, and it's still a better car imo

lol funny thread that, i had a run in with a r32, he couldn't pull away from me, and mines not even a cupra r
i was at a trackday last year, doing some 402m drag race, one of the cars was a mk4 r32 with performance exhaust. at that time i drive with my leon cupra @196bhp. i where side by side maybe i was lillte better of the start then the r32, but i where infront of the r32 all the way, only 20-30m befor the finish the r32 had more top power to pull away,, so any LCR will easyli pass around a r32 i think.
here at the local saturday night street race some times a leon cupra (180bhp model, not a lcr) with 4motion, and gt2860rs turbo with 320bhp now he says, in wet race he out race any other car on the race that night. a other night in drye road, its not that fast i think.

Two particular highlights from that: saying we're all young and then that we all read the daily mail-I'm sure all the young 'uns read that.
Also that turboing a 3.2 will make it faster than a 1.8 turbo. Whoever said that is a genius

George you last paragraph is spot on and the reason why I chose my Cupra R after the Alfa.
I have been looking into doing the 3.2 engine conversion but for the money its totally not worth it, I wish there was an exhaust similar to either the Unicorse or Arquay for the Cupra R as they are truelly awe inspiring when it comes to the noise they make.
I find it funny that the R32 is seen as this more refined model in terms of age groups driving it... Last time I checked some 17 year old and a 19 year old scrote was driving my R32.
I also hate the stigma the R32 has with 'general scum', they all believe its a world beater and the only thing is any tool can drive one fast away from the police so its the weapon of chioce for these little arse wipes along with the S3 and RS4
Glad to be in a Cupra R

I normally find that the r32 drivers in Swindon don't really know how to drive (and we all know a good driver in slower car can beat a bad driver in a fast car ) or are scared of the car or maybe it's the guzerling they don't like but then why get one?? My older bro drives the new golf pireli and fool me does it go some only 230 bhp 2.0 tsi but very quick it'd got amazing torque for standard car buy he's thinks the r32 will beet him 
no chance that things a beast and so much cheeper in tax Insurence and fuel so 
to the r32 drivers

A fully modded LCR will beat a r32 easily.
A stage 2 plus mk2 cupra goes past them like they are in reverse.
