    Good Points: Priced well for a hot hatch. Looks great, especially in Platinum Grey.


    Bad Points: Cam belt is expensive to change as i found out, If mofidied becomes quite uncontrolable due to fron wheel drive, Small boot, DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAY GOLF.


    General comments: I bought my Seat Leon Cupra 180 03 plate, so the face lift version in nov 2006. The car had 35k on the clock and was completley standard. The car itself is sound with no major mechanical faults. After three months i was bored and wanted more power (wishing i'd bought the cupra r) so i took it to jkm and had revo stage one remap(which took the bhp to around 200-205 with 230ish lb/ft. I had an induction kit, short shifter and upper strut brace fiitted (i guess i just got carried away on the seat cupra net forum) and then things changed: 1st more power, quite a lot more actually, however, i really found it hard to not spin the front wheels when accelerating harsly in 1st, 2nd and even 3rd gear. Also found it hard to keep in a straight line when accelerating.So to sum up, if kept standard, not a bad car.If modified its like a pitbull on steroids let off the lead. And quite uncontrolable. My previous cars just for your information have been :Alfa 147 2.0Renault Megane SportBMW 325 Ci coupeGolf GT Tdi 130But now I have bought a 2003 mondeo st220.Sy no more.I hope this helps.

    Have owned this car for just over a month. Wanted something a bit more sporty, yet still practical after coming from a Toyota Corolla diesel. The Cupra looks good value compared to the equivalent Golf/A3 alternatives which use the same engine, but mostly have 150bhp with five gears instead of 180 in the Cupra. The Octavia VRS has identical power to the Cupra, but the Cupra uses six gears which is a welcome addition, especially on motorways. The same engine can be found in the Audi TT, S3 and the ...

    I've now had my Leon 1.8 20VT 180 Cupra for 5 months( 2. owner). Comming from a BMW 318ti (E36) I was not expecting the same quality in a Seat, and I was right. But aside from a few poorly fitted interior panels, bad paint job and a few minor rattles it's not too bad at all. You get a LOT of bang for the buck, and overall the quality is as least as good as VW.. but the build quality (paintwork, interior/exterior fitting, materials used in interior) is not as good as Audi or BMW. But then again.. ...
