A nice, detailed review. This chap deserves more subscribers. Talks in real world terms and very relatable views on how much power you need for UK roads.

What did cupra get wrong. I watched the whole video and I still don't understand the relevance of the title?

Stef a well summed up review, I would like to thank you immensely for entertaining us with excellent content on your channel, I look forward to what 2022 hold for us. I hope that you have a nice end of year, seasonal greetings.

I like the sleeper look. You don't expect it to have power. I love my 1.5 fr leon. But when my lease ends I'm looking at these or GTI golf. I don't mind ethier. It's just what deal I can get when I'm eligible to swap

Hit the nail on the head here Stef, I hate that side profile. Cupra’s we’re supposed to be a bit ‘out there’ they did get it wrong. I nearly got one of these on lease, as good deal, I thought I liked the interior but it looks very grey on here! I’ve recently tried to go for an Abarth 595 Comp which was a great lease deal but the company seems to be messing me around now. They don’t seem very bothered at all!!

Good honest review, really like this version of the Leon

I've got one of these. It's a nice well rounded car with a good amount of space but the silver doesn't do it for me either. Completely agree with the touch screen. I'm used to it and navigation is easy and became easy quite quickly, but it's just not quick or responsive enough at times.

Good honest review as always 👍

Your right about the side Stef, looks bit like a family sedan from side maby a regular Toyota something. Frontwize it reminds of Mazda, and in my book thats a good thing. Ithink compared to a Golf if this is lighter, we shod have a more agile car here. I would say my Clubsport thats 100 kilos lighter than regular gti or so, is still not exactly a light, that i realized when driving my old 900-kilo Nissan Micra parents now inherited.. Its strange how fun a 70-90 hp car can be just because of the weight factor.. 😄 (it is in fact so strange that i would love to see that Micra modded, if you know what imean.. 👍)

How much is it weigh though? BHP is similar to my Porsche 987 3.4L (310bhp) but it weighs 1355kg. How heavy is this one???

Nice review Steff. All the touch screen faffing about completely puts me off, they need some buttons to play with!

What about the mpg?

i dont know i would still buy a golf R or S3 over that it just does not do it for me the styling is off

MK1 and 3 were so smooth in looks department. MK2 and this one...from some angles they look ok, from others not so much. I always liked that sleeper looks (especially with mk3 st version), but this one looks really really boring and those wheels are absurd.

going to keep my mk3.5 300 (and mod it more) because it doesn't really offer much more and that infotainment / heater controls are downright dangerous, plus i like my colour

Cupra or standard MINI JCW Stef, which would you pick?

Nice Stef, so..... Leon or formentor?

Why don’t they make the hatch in AWD.. I just don’t get it, because I think they look amazing. Obviously they have a responsibility to look after the golf R.

Its a car that just doesnt look like it has 300bhp

Visual Drama. No. Old 53 reg era FR mark one 1.8t petrol 225 cupra had it all. Since Seat cum Cupra lost it totally to VW , who just do it right. Nice balance drivetrain and body styling / kit on the R. KZfaqrs generally dislike the wheels. There is massive need this look better not worse than the R. The new electric Cupra the Id3 sister does look better than ID3

The wheels are horrendous ! The old car looks so much more aggressive !

Can you say torque steer??

Wrong its much nicer than the GTIs and has got many great reviews

Season's greetings Steph

Got to be the mk 3.5 for me! Love my cupra!

First like, that'll do.

I fully agree. After having 2 Leon Cupra’s. I was expecting a step up in looks when cupra went on there own. But they just didn’t. Disappointing.

These VW Group touch screens are really dangerous...you take your eyes off the road for at least 10 seconds to find a setting.

Much sooner have alcantara seats than horrible leather

Colour is 50% in choices

What a ridiculous and dangerous infotainment/ control unit. I am amazed that they can have drivers legally touching this and going through menus and sub menus to get to a control. Accidents waiting to happen.

Alloys are horrendous To upright, looks like a mini suv

Great review. The car is ugly, sounds horrible, and looks cheap inside & out. With a few boxes ticked, it's over 40k ! The wheels are revolting.
