Which Cupra should I get?

[mike0105]

Yes mate, still miss the Blue beast, sat nav that works & a media system that doesn't keep losing me iPod.... but otherwise it's all good.......
Oh yes and a car I can drive at night........

It really sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that the mk3 is the car for you mate. What is so bad about the 280 then?

With £12k I'd have gone for the exact one I got for £6400 - an '07 mk2 Cupra with 64k on the clock - and upgraded the crap out of it

Its not a bad car, in fact its a bloody good one, in comparison to the R its faster, quieter, handles and puts the power down better. It's just not as entertaining to drive. And some bits Seat/VAG have managed to make worse. Sat nav, infotainment system and lights are all disappointing. However the GF likes it and it is hers.......

No no no you poor deluded soul...... Cupra R fastest colour Speed Blue. In the Mk 3 is red the fastest. Technically proven. Scientifically too.
White is only good for wedding cars and who wants to get to a wedding quickly?

Im sure the fastest Cupra R is yellow

Sounds like you haven't bonded with it. The faults you listed would be character traits otherwise haha. Is it the LED lights that are naff? I thought they were supposed to be quite good.

All that yellow has affected your eyes......

The LED lights are ok compared to standard ( Osram nightbreaker) equipped h/lights. On unlit country roads they do not seem as good as xenon's I've had previously when on main beam. However I do suspect they may not be set up right, and when I get chance I'll have a fiddle with the adjustment.
Don't get me wrong, the R had its faults too..... Its just I can't think of any at the moment.....

I'll give you that yours is the exception to the rule and not the norm

I managed to pick up a cupra 240 on a 10 plate in candy white with the Cupra r kit. 30k on it for 10k. Was a private sale though.

Nice one, sounds like an absolute bargain you got there. Remap time soon me thinks....
