SEAT Leon Cupra R (2002 - 2005) 1.8 20V (225ps) 5d (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Well no offence to anyone that now has one, but when i got mine not many people knew about them, so i think most of the surprise factor is gone. So when i first got it surprised a LOT of people, but i knew what NOT to mess with!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, The dealer i had (Frosts) CHANGED the minute i owned the car, typical ? yes Surprising to the extent of their ignorant, unhelpful, arrogant attitude ? YES also. New regulator for a dropped window...&200+ take the outer casing off and u have a sealed unit. Its a con. The car eats fronts tyres like there is no tomorrow, the indicator lenses fade quick (at least...mine did)

What are you likely to buy next?

Am going back to my comfy big cruisers i think! Being a family man now it will probably a jap one for reliability, but if i was more flush with the readies it would b a BMW 5 or 7 series with a minimum 2.8
