Leon Cupra R v Audi S3

[turbin]

Seat is not what is used to be. With a vag engine, sexy design and low weight the LCR is a real contender. S3, CTR, V60 T5R, WRX STI, R32, Evo 7 on the ring would all agree ( albeit the last one prolly needed a driver mod ; )

holy thread revival!
im in the same dilema on what to buy and for me the seat still seems better value for money all the years on and the 4wd kinda puts me off the s3 aswell as the dated looks, the s3 looks no better than a basic a3 where as the cupra r looks sporty.
i still think my money will go on a cupra R over the s3, megane 225 and astra gsi.

I chose the Lcr over the s3 due to the 4 doors
It's alot easier to get my boy in the back

considering this same decision as finished uni now and starting a job so thinking of an upgrade! S3 is more tempting with the 4wd! Although i do think the LCR looks better!

And with 4WD will waste any Leon off the line

having owned both bollocks to your statement , both in standard form the lcr wins hands down , its only when you start pushing 300bhp+ then the s3 comes into its owns with my mk1 leon cupra r running 283bhp and 292 ft/lbs i beat both mk2 focus rs and mk2 s3 with 310bhp stage 1 map

Only think i don't like about the Leon's in that they dont come in 3 doors
