Those chorizo tyres are far too thin, you'd drop your vape pipe going over bumps.

I have a (wait for it) Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive Carbon Edition (glad that’s not on the boot badge) and it’s excellent.

So surefooted, even in winter, and can dust pretty much everything on public roads.

Not sure why you’d need another 70bhp, but there you go.

As posted above, typical comparisons with Golf R - but to me at least the Golf is dull as dishwater and there are about a zillion lease cars on the road. I prefer the style and positioning of the Seat brand, even though price was comparable. Mine’s one of only 42 in the UK - can’t say that of a Golf!

I think it is a good looking for being estate, but obviously not exiting in the way of a low slung sportscar. As for the inside, it is mostly black with a few chrome bezels, but quality is fine and ergonomics are good too. Of course VAG has nicer interiors, but I don't think they are worth their money, mostly look out of the windows anyway wink
Of course you realise this is a VAG car....
