I drove a crazy edgy car today - ends with a R

[Zafiro]

Wow I had some serious fun with this car. Seat Cupra R.
Same engine as Golf R but this was slightly modified. Lowered suspension, 20" wheels and different exhaust.

The car was like a mad bull. Suspension superhard. Acceleration was nuts. Quick as a rocket. Engine sound tickle your ears. Everytime you changed gear you head went forward. Smooth gearchanges were almost impossible. Traction control flashing during full acceleration.
It was totally opposite experience to the Golf R I drove a few months back. It was a fun car and your driving license is in danger

Do you know what kinda power it was running?

Poverty will love this!

I think I can see myself in a Seat. Not Cupra but FR.
Same engine as latest Golf GTI and XDS differential from GTI. Okej, not the same interior quality like a Golf but its not bad. Worth mention it cost much less than the GTI and standard equipment is very good. Bang for the bucks is better than Golf.

hmmm me in a Seat Leon FR .... why not?

How was the comfort on those low profile rims coupled with a suspension stiff as Chuck Norris's biceps? The decals does bait the cops and just like you I would probably get in trouble if I had such a tight package designed for driving quickly.

Great cars but I dislike the very plain interior design that looks cheap even if the quality of the materials suggest otherwise. Other than that I think they are real value from money, but I'd still take a GTI in a heart beat over this.

Cool car!

20's are maybe a biut much for the ride and handling!

Was it remapped?

I still say, if youre gonna get a sporty leon its gotta be the cupra! Well unless ytou require diesel, but in the UK we have loads of members who end up swapping their FRs for a cupra instead!

I still miss mine!

How's the torque steer?

How's the torque steer?

I've driven a 335 hp Cupra, and a +400 Cupra R, compared to my S3 theres torquesteer, no doubt. But it's actually not bad at all. And due to the lower weight of these cars. Once you start accelerating above 100 km/h, very little will keep up.

Do they come with a LSD?

Do they come with a LSD?

The Cupra R has an XDS system. Like the Scirocco.

The Cupra R has an XDS system. Like the Scirocco.

and GTI and FR....but for Scirrocco its comes with an extra cost (at least in Sweden).

torquesteer been improved a lot, not like the old days.
