He Calvin, what do you think of the Toyota starlet? The gt turbos, glanzas or just the non turbo ones?

Have you thought about a scirocco r I've got a 2017 face-lift model it doesn't have a virtual cockpit but it's front wheel drive and has dcc which it had before the new golf r. Its like driving a go kart great fun!

Hi mate Your actually reviewing my old car. I fitted all the Maxton design front splitter (which I also damaged on the same day fml lol), rear diffuser and rear spoiler and then I went resonated scorpion exhaust (couldn't deal with the drone) but I can see the next person got it deleted. It was a great car for a front drive hatch and different from the usual Audi S3 and VW R (plus cheaper to insure). The wheel hop was annoying but change of tyres sorted that out a bit... Good to see my old car being reviewed as I randomly come across your channel dude 👍🏾😎 (Edit) > I forgot to add that you get dcc (dynamic chassis control) as standard where VW and Audi is an option extra...

MK7 golf gtd is better

@@SuperNovaHeights_ gtd?🤣

@@pjb9010 what’s the problem!

@@SuperNovaHeights_ slow mate

@@SuperNovaHeights_ Diesel, I don’t think so!

correct, i know a few people that work in the factory that make the ‘virtual cockpits’ for VW group, they cost bewtween 100-250 euro for the manufacturer to buy, depending on the car brand.

Very good point.

same in motorcycles

I think virtual one looks really good. Especially the new Leon has pretty clean look on one of the styles and I highly prefer it over the traditional dials.

Analog is always better

Nice , you can blend in 😂

there is a big police station near me where the road policing (from traffic cops) are, its always a struggle to remember not to race any cupra's near me

Leeds they have two golf rs and 3 135i. Not ser the golf rs for a while though

they got formentor 310bhp to

Perfect! 👌

Solar panels have an original quite high outlay though, don't they? Should be factored into cost of charging if you're pedantic like me 😂

@@meady200 Usually yeh but got them free in 2011 😂😂. Eon was turning Nottingham Green. A certain amount generated goes back in the national grid.

@@80sBaby925 nice!!!!

@@meady200 panels pay themselves off over time. electric cars are a perfect use for them

£2 to charge the tiny hybrid battery? Why are you paying so much?

Imo appreciated isnt the best fitting word mate. They’ve inflated due to the used car price bubble. When new cars are more readily available and the used prices deflate again, these will drop in price to 17/18k

@@scott7010 that deflation is going to take a very long time. Supply is so low and fleet cars are being kept longer that it will take years for the market to repopulate to pre-2020 levels, imo.

@@dreamcrusher112 true but I still don’t think appreciated is the correct word, just inflated

When it does happen though, the drop off will be grim, just over or just under 10k is my guess.

@@Researcher83 I can’t wait! Running my 1 series into the ground until the market comes down. I’ll probably snap a 290 black or 300 up when they reach 15/16k

i can attest to this.Seen a couple stage 3 cupras that do some silly numbers and eat up big boy cars like the m5.Was driving up north the other day and couldn't even shake off one in my 240

Hey mate I seemed quite a few of the estate 4drive ones.. are they that quick. Similar to golf r? Surely a m140 would be a lot quicker. Be interesting to see them side by side

@@chriscringle9263 0-60 is 4.9 seconds stock or faster with a stage one tune. I think an m140i is only RWD? If so I think it would be pretty close between the cars, but if the cupra was mapped it would win. To be honest from driving mine within (what feels like seconds) you're already at triple digits so for road driving it's more than enough

@@hydraflyer bloody hell didn't realise that mate. What a cool car and it's an estate... Cheaper than a golf r as well. I. Seen the new shape one not as nice though unfortunately.

I've got a cupra with the bucket seats etc and I think it's well better quality inside than the golf 😯 can't bring myself to get rid of mine

Same with the golf mate not many have a decent spec because like you say they were all leased. My golf has a decent spec to be fair leather dsg and other bits.

@@stichupman yes mate your right,most of the ex lease golfs are around 14-16 plate as this was the time they were best priced. The Leon had crazy deals from around 2018 onward so he market is flooded with them now. Mine was £230 a month. Could barely get a Corsa for that now!

@@rossmale8715 someone must of specced my car well from new which is suprising. It is a nice car but it's got a fault at the moment only seems to be running fwd so haldex isnt working.

@@stichupman quite common that mate, I've known an S3 do the same. Haldex controller I think, water ingress the seals get worn

@@rossmale8715 need to get it looked at. Only noticed when I launched it the other day off the lights the tyres lit up until I let off basically and it was bone dry and its weraings ps4's as well. Looks common from what I've read. Haldex was serviced earlier this year as well.

Pile of shit car, ugly as hell trash interior and built quality, German cars all the way

@@prometheustv2084 youd love one tho. 😂🤣 jelous are kid.

@@topman6525 I got 17 plate bmw m140i stage 1 running 420bhp, why would want a pile of shit seat mate 🤣🤣🤣

@@prometheustv2084 1 Bit harsh is it not? I thought the way you were going on to that guy slating his car you were going to be flexing a twin turbo huracan or something, M140i 🤦🏻‍♂️ probably the second worst car ive owned, had it 3 months, absolutely shit. Humble yourself. 420bhp 🤣 no need to be a sausage to people. No need at all.

@@pb3382 please tell me why the m140i was the second worst car you owned? Also no hate here as I love the cupras and would love one in addition to my m140i.

Why are ps4's rated so much? My stage 1 cr170 2 0tdi spins in second gear with the ps4 tyres but with landsail 588 tyres it dont? 😔😅

@@leet7031 Absolutely no idea matey - sorry! My guess would be a potential difference in tyre pressures?

@@Jonathan-ww8un honestly exactly the same , unless I've got fake ones Haha honestly them ls588 landsail tyres are unreal for the money set of 4 in 235 35 19 £240!

@@leet7031 My goodyear eagle f1s were 270 for the same size for 2 - as good as ps4 but 1mm extra tread and £50 cheaper. think michelins are a bit hyped atm. On contis I got the most horrendous wheel hop because too much power for the tyres.

@@leet7031 I can only speak from my experience. With Pirelli p6000's - wheel bounce. With dog bone upgrade - less wheel bounce. With dog bone upgrade and Ps4 - no wheel bounce, unless it's wet. Massive massive upgrade the Ps4's and I thought it was just fan boy forum sh*t!

Agree on the Cupra R. What a stunner!

How’s it holding up ? I’m thinking of going for the abt tuned version as prices have dropped …..

What did you do for it to hit those numbers? Getting mine soon

@Osajunior90 Hi mate so this is the basics I did After market high flow exhaust Bigger Intercooler Large induction kit Hybrid Turbo ECU Remap stage 3 HPFP LPFP DSG software upgrade Then I added Bigger brakes, braided brake hoses etc

I also had one of these bought it new in 2004, very first of the 225 versions. Fitted a magnex cat back and revo stage 2 tune, and a dog bone mount, I kept it for 6 years. was my first "real car" other than just standard model cars I'd messed around with. I think it'll always be my favourite car just through memory of the times I spent in it.

343 from a last gen cupra. That’s defo not stock.

@@TheYBGOON not stock it was modified but not alot was done to get to that power.

Me too, got the 2020 version and i absolutely love it🤩

4wd is better than any fwd in every single situation.. do you realize that the s3 and golf r are fwd until it slips and then the rear wheels kick in..its a different quattro system to the a4 a6 a8 and all the rest of them..its a haldex.

@@mattyburrows9059 understeer to hell

@@redryanswheels7419 all audis understeer.but fwd ones do it alot worse.or are you talking fwd cars in general..dont get me wrong the audi quatrro aint no mitishbushi or porsche 4wd system..the quattro looks rather poo when you compare it to them but i still dont get why you would have a fwd when you can have 4wd for a similar price

I hope it's not VAG's Focus lol Ford are Shit.

@@peteramos6081 do you think VW of today is better than Ford?!

the leon is basicly a cheaper golf with diffrent badges and sportier looks yet alone more tech

It is a Golf mate. Not exactly surprising you like it.

@@robloxfan4271 better then a golf

That only happens on the GTi

@@level5822 Oh no it doesn’t

This happend to me 2 weeks after getting my r 🤣🤣

Ran mine for 4 years no issue

I've left mine on heated for a good year and a half non stop with no problems?

Must be that exhaust 😉

@@nathanxsport could be, 😏😏😏😏

Did your 300 have a 6 or 7 speed dsg? If you could give a comparison that be interesting. Feel like I’m trading no gbf vs more modern, lower rpms on motorway.

Why less useful as a daily? Gets better mpg because no awd

@@joonapuro8055 because if you stamp on it in most conditions they don’t grip. And they’re absolutely rubbish in show and ice. For most people this won’t matter - but for some it can make it a better daily driver. Can’t say I’ve noticed much real world MPG difference. I have a Quattro audi now with the same engine!

@@ItsDanLatham I live in finland so I can safely say I know what winter is.. I have mainly driven fwd cars without any issues. We just use proper winter tyres 😅

@@joonapuro8055 This is the problem in the UK - we only have about a week of snow so nobody buys winter tyres. So AWD owners are the ones that can make it out whilst FWD owners are stuck! I mostly like the AWD for the easy power delivery.

Same for me. Quality car 👌

It’s still at the Bodyshop mate

Be good to see a vid on progress

I have had and 1.4 FR (150) ACT Estate for 2 years now and it's a brilliant car. Obviously not Cupra levels like you say but goes well enough and does 50MPG without really trying.

Would you be willing to sell?

Yes mate this is one of our retail cars so it will be advertised at retail money and will be offered fully prepared with a warranty/finance etc.

@@CalvinsCarDiary wow okay is it on your website now?

The cupra 3/5 door Versions have a lsd actually the estate Version has a haldex

@@h4ckantrieb950 estate 280/290 versions have also e-LSD.
