Well just had to answer this one, I'm 53 an bought my R 3 weeks ago and loving it,

Over past 5 years have had Renaults 182, 197, F1 230 and most recently sold the subaru for the R.

Hope I don't grow up as really enjoying my above mid life crisis.

Lots of wrinkly old farts driving the hotter Leons, or so it seems :D

Looks like you will have to count me as one of them. I'm 45 and bought a Cupra for the Mrs because it fits the bill on so many fronts. Practical enough given the kids have outgrown her old mini, quick enough to have some fun when the urge strikes, comfortable on a longer run and (importantly) bloody good value for money. No way is a five door VW Golf worth £6k (+ options) more than a Leon Cupra.

Hardly ever drive my own car since buying it ;)

39 and hoping to pick up a new Cupra R in a few weeks, who gives a toss what anyone else thinks so long as you're having fun.

I'm 20 but I think a lot of drivers around this age are moving away from the usually cars like clios, corsa..... I see a lot more people my age driving a4's etc.
