picking up a Cupra 225 on Sat - Cant wait!!
Discussion
I've finally managed to get myself a Leon Cupra R. I've been wanting one for years, since I left Uni.
Anyway, found an '05 plate, 40k miles, FSSH, Emocion Red 225 with 12month warranty and breakdown from Seat. I went to view it last weekend and put a deposit down. I get to pick it up this saturday from 'oop north
This week is going so slowly!
Ill post pics when I get it...

Lucky boy!
these are very capable cars, deceptively fast and rewarding to drive so long as you can cope with reasonable stiff suspension. I to would very much like one and have been eying them up for a while but i think it will be a blue or grey one for me.
Does yours have the recaro interior in it - v rare option to have front an rear recaros but they look beautiful!

Cheers! I took it out for quite a long test drive around Kendal and absolutely loved it. I was so impressed with the brakes!
As for the stiff suspension, its waaay more comfortable than the MG ZS i'm moving out of!
I havent got Recaro's unfortunately but i'm not that bothered as I find the standard seats quite nice

Had one of teh first 210s when they were launched and was a very good car. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
get yourself over to seatcupra.net to find out all the information on it. There are a number of known issues which are shared with all variants sharing the Golf MKIV platform. Get to know what they are and make sure you get them sorted while under warranty.

watch that splitter, it scrapes on everything, and the suspension is solid.
my friend has an 05 reg one which he loved but it is now starting to cost him money as various sensors etc need replacing as is common with any car based on the mk4 golf platform. tyres on the 18s are very pricey too.
great cars when fully operational though.

I have an 05 225 LCR right now.
If you have the Recaro option it will say so in white writing under the R. Only an option in front seats with the 225, fronts and backs in earlier 210 only, took it to a 4 seater too.
I really don't find the suspension that bad, infact it rides better than my Leon Cupra TDI did even though it's stiffer.
Splitter does hit a lot, girlfriend finds it embarrassing but you get used to taking different routes! Anyway, only £20 from the dealers so just a consumable really.
You should get onto seatcupra.net as suggested earlier, very helpful especially in the beginning.
