Having experienced Stage 2+ Revo myself, I can safely say it is all that, and I havent even read that report :)
 
Yes it is my car by the way and yes it is as good as they said in performance car magazine. I have a second car and it is undoubtedly the best handling standard pocket rocket available. It does not even come close to taking on the Cupra, I have not even driven it in 6 weeks! The Leon is in another league now.

We spent a long time getting everything as good as it can be on this car. The software is amazing as some of you already know. With a standard Cupra you can laugh at the Saxo boys and the like, with software you can leave most cars behind (The 197 Cup reels it back in slightly on the bends but will still loose out to the SEAT) With the stage 2+ though, and the other parts we fitted to help use more of the software’s capability on the road. It puts the SEAT up there with the big boys and makes most of them wonder, how many Revo Cupra’s they could have bought for the price of their car!

As for fuel consumption, mine has remained around the same as the standard car under normal conditions on my daily drive. That is slightly down on Stage 1 as I got around 3 mpg more than standard then. Although this is using the trip computer so its not exactly scientific! And like anything, drive it hard or when it is cold and fuel consumption goes out the window.

If you dont have Revo software already, there has never been a better time to get it, check out this offer!:D
