Hello everybody after a great deal of thought I have bought a Grey '04 Reg 265bhp Seat Leon Cupra R. I haven't got a collection date yet as I have to wait for my private plate to be transferred and the car to be serviced. Since March I have owned a Focus ST3 (which I loved to bits but bought as a speculative purchase given the long delays at the time). I sold the car at a decent profit and purchased a Black S2 Lotus Elise. However, my nan sadly passed away a few weeks back and the plan was to leave my car in her garage and commute to work in a cheap runaround. I live in an apartment with a designated parking space outside.
I didn't want to leave the Elise at the mercy of the elements through the winter and I didn't fancy driving it through the winter either given I do a fair few miles to work. I was mulling over the idea of either a civic type-r or a seat leon. Given I've already had a civic type-r in 2003 I thought I would try something different. I'm not sure who has tuned the car to 265bhp but will learn more when I collect it. The test drive sold the car to be honest. Aesthetically the car looked in great nick (apart from the few scuffs to the front wheel but the dealer is going to have those professionally touched up) but the test drive was unreal. I have been reading the posts on this site and they are making me wish collection day would arrive and have been a great source of information so thanks for all your help so far guys/girls.

- only had mine 3 months, but, loving it to bits - the Focus ST does sound awesome though - thats the only thing I dont like about the LCR - lack of a decent engine note (IMO of course)
