Hi Guys and Girls

Its about time I updated my car for something a bit more sporty (I have a 53 plate Clio, 1.2) Boo!

Someone parked a Leon Cupra at my work a few months ago and it looked awesome, I've wanted one ever since. However the £21k + price tag is a bit out of my league.

Now I've seen the new Ibiza Cupra, I want one! Price tag is affordable too (just) Only thing is getting a test drive arranged, no dealers down South (Sussex) seem to have any Cupra's or Boc's available. After lots of chasing . . . I might just get the chance to test one this week. Im looking forward to seeing what the DSG and flappy paddles are like! oh and what it sounds like too

Im thinking about going for the leather interior, has anyone got leather seats or pics of the interior??

Ta, Matt

leather is nice, but cold, and a bit slippery and firm compared to the quilted cloth. if you have a dog it makes sense as hair is a pig to vac out of cloth. money better spent on the big brakes - they look SO good.

The racing brakes are very nice, worth the extra grand . . . Im not so sure!

Ok might give the leather seats a miss

Tempting, however surely the full size wheel will weigh down the car more?

I really don't think it would make that much of a weight difference tbh. As for the big brakes, there are a few ppl here who regret not getting them so I would seriously consider it mate. I got them hehehehehehehehe and bi-xenons.
