I've got to admit, i was a little negative about the new cupra when i saw the spec on here, it all looked a little Plain, Nothing to grab your attention, nothing to say "look at me i am a CUPRA!!!"
Well i can say now this was an amazing movee by SEAT, the car exudes style, i had about 4 visits tot he seat stand today looking over it, Compared it back to back to the ST and the VXR. And i can clearly say " I WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And before anyone asks it has to be in that infiniri ( spelling?) that was on display, from a distance it looks Black, but when you get up close you see its actually a prupley aubergine colour, it s is gorgeous, the yellow loooked just a little too Halfords car park for me. And then you come to the interior, wow, ver nice, after sitting in the Focus ST and being amazed by the Cheap plastics and lack of style in it, you jump in the cupra and think "Wow" it is quality. The dark cupra only roof lning makes it feel very dark inside and very special, The seats are amazing, i hav sat in LCR recaro's before, but these are better, they are firm supportive but overall comfortable. In fact i reckon they could just be a little too comfortable. The red stitching and subtle Cupra badges insde are not OTT. It just reminds so much of the Golf R32 Mk5, in the same way it sits there and quietly purrs " i'm very quick" without shouting " oi wanna race" like the Astra VXR does.
I am now sitting here working out when i change my car for one, i said i would never go back to petrol now i have the TDi, but i can honestly say i will do for the LEon Cupra.
And for all those that say the Leon FR is the best way to go, then think again, cos i tried both and crawled all over them, the FR is just a tarted up Sport, bu the Cupra is the daddy and it knows it.
As for the rest of the motor show, cracking day out a only 30 mins up the road from me, Spent half the day crawling over the new Freelander 2 with me old man, and the very nice guys at landrover gave us both a Free Land rover experiance day to go test the new freelander 2 in september which was nice, so all in well worth a look, i would just not bother going on a Weekend as not much room, least today was nice and empty.
heres some piccies, of the Cupra, check out the purple Hue on it, mmmmmmmmmmmmm
I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saving already
