I think it looks ok, but the price is possibly a little high. I think the seats are gastly looking. From the back they look good. And still no haldex....
I still think for the price go for an S3 with Haldex.

I get what you are saying, but your forgetting that is the price with basically all the options already.

I'd love an S3, but I'd want to add extras and then the price just cranks up.

If it had the 2.5 lump I'd be intersted....
The S3 does come with bits, and I think the bits you are talking about may even come standard, it it doesn't it's minimal extras like cruise control, auto lights etc.

I quite like the seats - but could imagine the white stitching getting grimy in time and looking very grubby.
One question - given that it has the same engine as the S3 but will weigh less due to no Haldex why is the quoted 0-60 time half a second slower than the S3 ?

My current Cupra is Zenith Grey which I think was a good choice.

Still undecided about the car. Test Drive may be on the cards.....hmmmm

25k though... Fook that is a lot of wonga! The S3 is genuinely starting to look like a bargain. You can get a basic one for about the same price. That's what I'd do

Dont do it man! You can make a LCR rep for peanuts, all the stuff on that car over a a normal cupra isnt worth the 5k premium. Mod yours instead!

I'm not altogether sure those seats would be a comfortable as they might look. The standard seats in our Leon Sport reference were excellent without all the racing references in the styling
