A petrol supercopa?
They're quite rare. It depends what you fancy more. The supercopa is loaded with all the kit and is Facelift. So the ride is a lot better and overall internal quality is better.
But the k1 is a Cupra so you've got more power and the k04 turbo. Better brakes.

So it's a question of power vs style, comfort and nice things.

Also, the k1 bodykit is not the same as the kit on the supercopa. It looks older somehow.

The fr is 4 years newer, no brainer to me. You would probably find a LCR for not much more

FR will have sooooo much more tech tho, and XDS and a better ride. Tbh if the op is even considering it then absolute power must not be the most important thing, a decent map on the tsi engine and you'd be faster than a standard cupra anyway

Between the two the supercopa is a clear winner. As said, a remap brings it back up to par and then you have the power and the kit. Having come from pre-fl to fl I can tell you that it really makes a huge difference.

LCR is of course lovely lovely :) hehe. Biased though

I know the mileage is low on the K1 but 13k? Come on.....
Crafoo sold a modified R on a 60 plate for not much more, for 13k you could get an FL Cupra
The FR will have the 211bhp in it, stage 1 remap will see more than a standard Cupra /K1...

We paid 16k for a 2011 BTCC full leather, heated seats, expensive alloys and only 12k miles in 2012. So yeah... 13k is a bit steep

A bit? Its fkn glacial!! A quick search on Pistinheads throws up a few Cupra's and 'K1's' , some nodded ones for 13k on a ten plate. Standard I reckon 13 should get a 2011-12 at least if you haggle.
Arnold Shark have a 2010 Cupra R, 24k miles up for just under 13k , you'd probably get it for 12

Thanks for everyone help... I am still not sure cos I do really like the look of the k1 and the extra power but it is really over priced
