Well the Cupra R has lower profiles, so you feel the road beter which I like. It's heavier steering, due to lower profiles, I think it's better handling as standart, doesn't seem to have as much body roll as the Cupra did. There's not a huge difference, but it definately feels tighter if that makes sense? And obv it's faster lol x

 

[KatCowie]

Its faster xxxxx

Al you cheeky thing! lol
