Leon cupra r or megane 225

[joeg40]

Hi there, I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment
About which car to buy. These two both seem very similar
in their reviews but wondered if anyone has owned
both. I do a fair amount of track days an visit nurburgring
often. As standard which one would be the better car
and also once modified.
Many thanks for any advice.
Ps. Or should I go for a high mileage s2000 ( I have low budget)

Just having a look on Autotrader at Megane 225s, and they seem damn good value at the moment. 4-5 grand seems to pick up a fairly good looking 04-05 with 50-80k miles. The equivalent priced Leon seems to be a year older.

I had a friend who had a Megane 225, and said his was very reliable and he thought it was a good car. However the evo review here http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/cargrouptests/4557... seems to suggest the Megane is a bit soft, and the Cupra is the more involving drivers car.
