I also have the same decision to make, new Cupra or Focus ST.
I've had an LCR for nearly 3 years now and absolutely loved it to bits, I say 'loved' because I always get bored of any car after 2 years but due to company car rules have to keep it for 3....
I test drove a focus and was quite impressed. It seems very well behaved in town and when you open it up it certainly goes (although didn't feel any quicker than my standard LCR). The one thing the ST has over ANY car on the market at the moment is the sound, it is plain and simply awsome.
I am going to the motor show a week on Saturday to see the Cupra in the flesh and will then make my decision.
The one thing I have always enjoyed about the LCR is the 'head turn' ability of it because even now you still don't see that many of them on the road and it still looks the business. Hopefully the Cupra will also be quite rare and turn heads. If it turns my head on Saturday I will be getting one.
