I had a Golf R estate and the issue I had with that car was the amount of unwanted attention it used to get. I remember pulling up to a shopping centre with my wife and two young children, parked up and then five lads just walked over to the car, started looking at it (from a distance) and mumbling to themselves. Everywhere I went in it it got attention of the wrong kind.
Mine was a plain white estate and unfortunately for me at the same time I had it, there were burglaries being done in my area, reported in the local paper and the thieves were driving ....a white golf R estate.
I was followed on a number of occasions by the police and stopped at traffic lights...
I wouldn't have another purely because of that.
Touchwood, so far, not one person has stared or really noticed my car. It just looks like a Leon lol. Even the dark exhaust tips
help it blend in.
That being said.... Cupra's new prices are mental
