Its amazing, im sure it handles pretty much the same as ure cupra, i have a heavy right foot and its still averaging 51mpg, its £30 a year to tax and it goes realli well, had a boy racer in a corsa vxr try over take me other day, he ended up pulling bk in behind me, dnt think he expected mine to accelerate so well from 40 to 90 haha, lots of torque!!
