you need to compare the same spec as its a bit byasts due to one being an fr and the other a basic spec... put the 1.2 against it and you would prob go for the mk5 but if u put the cupra against it you would prob go for the mk4 cupra....

may have even put my name down for the cupra
how come??
197 would be a nice interim.. but i think the leon would be a much nicer interim! clio just seems far too over rated.. outside of it is nicer, but inside is appauling imo.
mk5 cupra FTW when it's about though!!!!

Getting 2nd years ncb in march and want to get rid of the car before the warranty runs out in june/july. Think I might get something different for the 6 months like the clio as I might like the leon fr too much, then end up wanting a leon cupra as well as a ibiza cupra!
bit of an unfair comparison as people have said.
i much prefer the mk4, all models, over the mk5 and mk5 SC.
i went to the motorshow on Thursday, spent 11 hours driving my car that day!
and after seeing the mk5 in the flesh, and the 3door SC, i was more than happy returning to my old FR at the end of the day!
(obviously doesnt mean i wouldnt rather be going home in many of the other cars there!!)
Didnt see the interiors on the day though, the pictures i've seen look fantastic. much better than the mk4.
However, i can say now I am expecting the FR and Cupras to blow the old models out of the water and can't wait to see them, even though I wont be able to afford one!

I am currently driving the MK4 1.4 Sport 3Dr which I got in September '07 and to date I cannot fault it in any way.
Had a run out today in the new MK5 1.4 Sport and just as expected, no complaints. The ride feels quieter and possibly smoother thanks some sort of new clever chassis which will also be going into the new Polos's. Looks wise, I liked it and the interior feels sturdy with quality plastics which don't look or feel 'cheap'.
Currently though, the choices are limited to 3 engines 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 which apparently isn't much different to the 1.4.
So, will I be buying a new MK5, In short yes, but only when the 3Dr version comes out, I would also like to wait and see what diesel, Cupra or FR options will become available.

I must agree - the back end on the Mk4 is much better looking with the Cupra rear bumper but the Mk5 is definitely growing on me. As Chris said - I think the Sports Coupe will be the one to go for. Cupra/FR will be interesting. Will be better when they release a diesel version....
well i sat in the sc at the motor show, can't say i was 100% happy with it. the one i sat in had a shocking ivory colour trim which was not nice, and there was the armrest in the middle of the passenger and drivers doors which i was not happy with lol
however more room, loved the seats in the sc as well and like it quite a bit. the only thing was i am not keen on the styling of the 1.4 which i sat in, i hope the cupra is better as thats my target and fingers crossed its the bocanegra or the option for it

the only thing better about the MK4 than the MK5 is the cup holder. The ones on the mk5 look like they will get in the way and wont be very supportive of different or odd shaped bottles.
I must admit in the MK5 looks much better in white but the MK4 still looks better. From the sides the MK5 doesnt look too bad but the front and the back i'm not that keen on. The interior of the MK5 is much nicer though, i like the new speedo
The MK5 looks like its smiling
