test

Yesterday, amongst other things, I had a test drive of an Ibiza Cupra 1.8T, as I was possibly looking to replace my Clio for something a tad more reliable. I got quite a big run out in it. Without wanting to appear to be trolling, I am not that impressed with it. The handling is understeering...

There is a long term test report in August edition of Whatcar, not a glowing report, as the tester can't figure out what the Altea wants to be. Well it was always going to be seen like that by the press, I think. Its what you want it to be that determines how it works for you. There is also a...

Sorry if you know this already, but Honest John has posted a road test of the Leon 2.0TFSI Sport on his website - http://www.honestjohn.co.uk

We've had a request from Test Drive Magazine! How would you like to spend a day on the Test Drive road test team? We're looking for Leon Cupra drivers to join us at the track for a half-day on Friday 12th May for a used car photo shoot. They want ideally standard 20VT Cupra Leons, if they are...

Went out today for a test drive at Marshalls Seat in Cambridge in a Ref Sport 2.0TDI complete with advertising banners :D I was pretty impressed, dealer was happy for us to go out alone and we missed our turnoff on the carriageway so ended up going a bit longer than planned. The car seemed...

The car has gone in for it's 50k service today + brake fluid change so would imagine they'll take it for a test run. What's a resonable amount of mileage for them to do on a test?? Hate leaving it with anyone and it's the first time I've used this dealer so there better not be a mark on...

Morning all, I test drove a 54 plate silver LCR 225 on Sunday and I loved it, especially as the dealer threw me the key and said go have a play. So I did!!!!!For an hour and a half!! I was impressed with the build quality, liked the interior layout and equipment and was surprised just how...

Thinkin about changing my LCR in a few months and decided to go on a few test drives this afternoon...Drove a new Octavia Vrs, it only had 5K on the clock so the engine was tight...didnt feel as quick as mine though. On a positive the engine as no lag what so ever and the interior was gorgeous...

TWO DAYS’ WORK AT THE ALMERIA TRACK First season test for the SEAT Sport team With an impressive display of brains and brawn, the SEAT Sport team began their World Touring Car Championship 2006 preparation with two full days’ work on the Almeria track. Three SEAT León WTCC units and 45...

Hi, Going to see a 2000 X-Plate Ibiza Cupra tomorrow (and possibly a couple of 2001-Y 's) and was after some advice... I know about several problems such as the coil packs, MAF and dodgy sensor that reads the temperature, but I don't know any other issues (other than you'd get on any other...

It's fairly unscientific but they test Millers against Unicat. Both gave very modest fuel savings (from memory about 1.5% more MPG with Millers, about 3% with Unicat). In other words, they barely (if at all) cover the purchase cost .... but it wasn't a very scientific test, just 5 or 6...

Well the new Leon was crash tested...and it got....4 Stars! :wtf: What's that all about, the Altea got five stars...it seems that you need to score 33 points to get 5 Stars and the Leon scored 32...what a result! On the plus side if you ever get knocked down by one you might get off a bit...

I had my car serviced the other day at W.Livingstones.(Great garage) The dealer is expecting a TFSi in shortly and will give me a call to test drive it. I had the New Leon 1.6 Reference as a courtesy car. It had sharper handling than my Mk1 LC !! Was VERY impressed. So can't wait for the...

Hi Over the past few months ive been asking alot of questions, and finally i got the chance to test drive a Leon Cupra FR today, and all i can say is FU*K IN HELL this car is fun to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy: Once behind the wheel, it took just 5 seconds and i was hooked...... i want...

Hey folks, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post :D I currently have a Honda Civic Type-R (stop boooing lol) and am hopefully getting rid of it for an LCR 225. Well I went for a test drive at the weekend and here is my verdict :) My test drive was of a Leon Cupra R 225bhp model...
