well the cupra is the top of the range model which is a 1.4tsi engine, which has a turbo+super which develops 180bhp and it has a DSG gear box.
I think that it is 85PS and it used to get called FSI engine. The DSG gearbox is a manual/auto hybrid concept which allows you to sort of pre-select the next gear so change times can be very fast.
A bit of difference?? Are you crazy?
Its a world of difference. Have you seen the performance stats of the Cupra? Your talking a normal (all be it very nice looking good quality) run of the mill hatch back compared to a high tech hot hatch with an award winning engine and lighting fast gear box. All for around the same mpg!Not convinced it's FSI. Isn't it just what was the 75bhp unit with 10 more hp?
Don't agree with that at all. Direct line are always hundreds of pounds more expensive for me! At least with comparison sites you get a good indication of what you should be paying. Come renewal time you can also use your comparison site figures to get your existing insurance company to price match.
lol he is only 18, I am his brother he got the car because I crashed mine and I needed another, and he is driving the se but wants a faster car me thinks.am i missing something here? who looks at these two models and compares them ? One is run of the mill supermini, the other is the top of the range hot hatch! with roughly 6k between them. Am i being thick thinking you are not paying for this car? are your parents paying for this car matey?
Surely no one with there own budget would consider two such totally different models? Anyway, go for the cupra! cant believe i put that lol
