Hope you guys enjoyed the video! Make sure to follow me on Instagram @trhamza_ to get a preview of what cars I’m filming before they go up!

I love your video titles, they're not clickbait, they're fair. Every car you drive and review, the title always intrigues you to watch and pay attention to the video. It doesn't write the car off, you're giving the car you're reviewing a good deed. Instead of implying it's not in certain cars leagues, you keep it real and simple, respect for that. (This goes for all of you video titles too)

Your reviews are just getting better & better Hamza! Your collab with Ricky was a ton of fun & one with Joe Achilles would be a blast to watch . Brilliant stuff & much love from Lebanon amigo!

Spot on review, had mine a year now and not got round to filming with it much yet besides when I tested a res delete. But I absolutely love it and I'm struggling to figure out what comes next!

Cheers TR for taking time out to put this video together, much appreciated man.

Great review such a chilled guy keep up the good work bro

Great review, and greetings from Worcestershire, have pretty much the same spec Cupra 300 with sun roof and 6 speed DSG, bought mine with 3K miles 6 months old from a dealer demo car and paid £26K, noticed this one still had key ignition mine is push button only, but great you confirm what I am enjoying, best fun ever down a small back road..

Bro I love your channel. I am looking at one of these to buy buy your review was spot on. Top you tuber

Owned a Golf R for 2 years and then a Cupra 290 for 2 years. Cupra is more exciting to drive, more responsive and accelerates (once rolling) quicker- probably due to lighter weight and not 4wd. Exhaust sounds bettter too! Only issue is traction from stand still when wet or damp or if road is uneven. I haven’t really missed or needed the 4wd.

Great review of a standard fast car, you described the driving sensation really clearly.

After the collab with Ricky, I have been steaming through your content. Keep up the good work man, you're killing it

Top video this!! nice to find someone who does proper good reviews on cars like this!! no bullshit, just a solid review!!

At last a proper unbiased and honest review, cheers 👍

A good and impartial review Tr, not like some of the other reviewer's, even though the seat is supposedly the cheaper looking of the VAG cars you haven't knocked it. It was good that you stated that all the VAG cars have there own individual merits.

wicked video bro, a friends got this car and loves it! 🔥

How can anyone hit the dislike button? ... love the car.. it comes together perfectly with all the edges and straight lines...but im too much of a badge hyper and would rather have a VW.... keep the up with the great content👌💥

Great vid. I've had mine for 6 months now in same colour (mystery blue) and I wouldn't swap it for anything. Your though you have to drive it, it's so engaging and really gets my adrenalin flowing. I'm 52 but when I'm driving my Cupra I feel 32.

another great video by you, im thinking of getting a cupra 300, they sound like a good buy, bang for your buck they are very impressive.

My parents have a Cupra 300 ST 4Drive. Absolutely rapid off the line etc etc but just wish it made a bit more noise. Wayyy quieter then the hatchback. Well worth a review of one if/when you have time however. Love the looks of the Cupra compared to S3 and Golf R, and less likely to be stolen by a scumbag with a laptop imo, especially in estate form. Class video mate. From Birmingham myself ^^

Tbh, i really liked your straight up review. Thanks.

Think this is the first video I've seen of yours buddy but top work... subscribed now! My old man has a 290 pre facelift but as a manual... so much more fun in my eyes and you can still make them bang if you know what you're doing haha. Such a quick bit of kit. They've stopped doing300's now due to emissions... similar aged Golf R/S3's are producing less power if rumours are true... 290's do have a sportier exhaust over the previous 280... I'm not sure if the 300 exhaust is different but sounds pretty similar to ours. Shame the pre facelifts weren't available in that Mystic Blue - it is a lovely colour!

Seat’s have the craziest DSG bang 😍 nice video again mate!

Great review dude. I love my Cupra 300! Sold my S3 8P earlier this year for it and haven't looked back...

Thanks for sharing I have it in manual and I love it... Can't always get the bangs at gear change. I only get it in 1st and 2nd...

Well this video made me decide, definetly cupra for me, thanks great video

You're really coming along with your videos mate, you go into real detail and for me I watch vids to make me feel what the car would be like in real life and you nail that. Only thing I'd say, and I might be wrong here as nobody else had mentioned this, but try and get your video lengths down to 10 minutes ish? As a floater I get bored after that length especially if you repeat yourself too much

Great video, im thinking of buying a older 290 and this got me excited!!

Genuinely think the cupra is the much better buy over the s3 or golf. Better looking, cheaper, more engaging to drive and faster. No brainer for me 🤷‍♂️

Loved your videos with LLF

Been in one of them in orange it’s rapid and pops like madddd😍

Do a video on affordability of fuel, insurance an maintenance of a hot-hatch

Those wheels are epic... they're a prettier version of the option R 'Prets'. Very nice! I've always said, if you can have a VW drive (handling, power, and noise), with an Audi interior and Seat exterior you will have the perfect hot hatch, however seeing the interior there, I love those lines! Incorporating some of the higher quality touches to that style interior would make a really nice interior. I like those side bars for the fuel and oil temp. The red highlights inside make it feel a bit more pleasing for our inner five year old self too. Seems slightly quieter in revving than the R and S3, but still a lovely noise, that shift noise is naughty! I love the Cupra for what it is, but it suffers from the petrol head spirit (presence over performance). Yes, it's fun to drive but the numbers don't stack against an R or S3, so the only selling point is the better look and occasional giggle. Yes the price is much friendlier, but it is held back far too much by VAG. When the Cupra range officially splits from Seat I'm sure it'll come into it's own and become a proper contender with the bigger brothers in the group. Hearing you slamming the rev limiter in first made me wince mate! Launching in my 7.5R I've hit the limiter a few times, and I can tell ya it really slows it down. If you can find the sweet spot the acceleration is insane. I love the Cupra, I really do! I just cannot wait for VAG to bring them up to speed with the R and S3. Who knows, maybe we'll see an RS3 equivalent when VW release the R400/R420 eventually? ;)

My brothers got the 7.5 R and I’ve got a 20 plate cupra 290 and on a roll the cupra wins every time,only on a launch does the R beat the cupra. Great review m8 🤙

Love the vid as usual TR. If you put a Cupra on a dyno, even the older 280 they all put out 305-320hp as standard. The engine is same across the VW range. It's just badging so not to step on their 'premium' brothers!

You get a lot of options standard on the seat Leon which is a big plus

I've had the 290 good car. You just find that seat have the last gen lower spec parts. For example the sub frame is steel on the seats and they are known to snap, where the vw and audi have aluminium. Little things

Definitely more fun bro. I initially wanted the Golf R. Drove the S3, R and Cupra and the Cupra felt so much more lively.

Can't fault mine brother, 4500 miles in and still loving it :-) Great reviews by the way, driving it like normal people do!

Not only does it look better, its more fun to drive :))

Great video! Myself like many Cupra owners have put Michelin PS4S tyres on and a Powerflex lower engine mount inset in. Wheel hop has completely gone. Grips the road so much better and hardly breaks traction.

Great review mate

Great video really nice car great sound, is the dsg louder in this car than a Skoda Octavia VRS?

This car has a MAD sound considering this still has the factory exhaust. Amazing car!

I love this car but still keeping my mk1 Cupra. Old school bro :)

Had mine a year absolutely still in love, res delete and keeping it standard is a laugh still

I've got a leon fr 1.5 tsi but I'm definitely going to be getting a cupra for my next car

Too bad we don't get these in the states. Looks like a ton of fun to drive!

Have my Cupra 300 ST 4Drive now for almost a year and its just awesome. Even got it with the big Brembo brakes and they saved my ass a few times on the german autobahn from some idiots.

Nice video! Just got the 370 edition with 4drive, absolutely love it so far! Drove an old Cupra R before, so quite a difference

I have a desire red one, amazing car

These Leon’s are soo underrated, way better than the GTI in my opinion and a lot better than the blunt S3 (not hating) but another sick video

Very nice love my cupras 👌

Hello Hamza give me advice bro 2016 seat cupra 290 or bmw 135i which one is more reliable and fun thx

Nice videos mate....

looking for help on this looking at the cupra 300 only thing putting me off is the 6 speed when the golf gti is 7 speed is thete much difference, also how does the leon cope in putting power down

Would like to see the cupra st and golf R estate comparison if you could do it as the st has awd too.

Can you please try and get your hands on a Cupra 300 ST 4Drive with DSG!

Really wanting a Leon fr wish I could afford the cupra tho :(

You need to do a cupra R review. You’re going to be surprised the way that car moving around. Its the best VAG configuration with the best handling

Subbed from llf. Good video and love the car. Cheers bro

beauty but i think it looks like a modern s3 / golf r but this is just more modern so rounder if that makes sense ..

Mad car man you should own on

Another great video👍🏻 do like the cupras, I wonder what the Cupra R is like in comparison! I Need to get my car on asap😂

I've driven the Golf and think it's too 'relaxed' at times. Sure it can shift when you push it but it always falls back to being too relaxed. I dunno but the Golf seats were a bit rubbish too - I thought them to be too comfy! I have a Cupra and love it. My only grumble is it's a little fragile. Paint seems too soft and easily damaged and for two weeks of the year when it snows the Cupra won't go out. Underpanels are ripped off by snow and mine has no snow button like the Golf has. The colour of your car is 'Mystery Blue' which became an option in 2017 with the MK3.

Hello Hamza, that thing you get @12.45 is it normal? Is it due to DSG or Brakes ?

I’m currently looking for a car around 18k. Debating the Cupra 290. Needs to be 5 door with kids on the way! I do like 335i maintenance worries me. Would you say the Cupra 300 is worth the extra couple grand?

hey mate. im newly subbed, nice content

Nice golf R review

I have the fr 2.0tdi and I looooooooove it

Had my 69 plate Cupra 290 for 6 weeks now absolutely love it, had 53 miles on it when I picked it up, got it for £20750 which I think is a bargain, going to stage 1 it after lock down, and put more miles on it , Revo or APR ?.....

Can’t pick whether too get a cupra 300 next or Golf r. The only thing that makes me want too get the R is the 4WD. Only if the cupra was 4WD (don’t want the estate lol)

these are so underrated but very capable cars. Prefer the interior/exterior to the Mk7 and A3

What road are you on? It looks gorgeous!!!

got them bollywood tunes on standby my G

Mine is a 3dr manual, Crazy on a back road

Amazing car.

I'm on the look out for a new car and the cupra 300 appeals to me Cause it's different, which do people think is better out of the 300 and the golf r??

Who the best Leon cupra or Audi S3 ?

I dont understand what is wltp... I saw the cupra 300 is downgraded to 290... I want to buy an used cupra 300 from germany but Im confused... Can i buy it or not due to wltp...??

Pretty sure this car goes to my gym and parks opposite my own cupra :)

I always thought the standard brakes on the Cupra was a bit numb and not very strong at braking. It was the same with my Seat Leon FR 184 so I uprated my Cupra to the Clubsport S drilled discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads and they are alot lot better!

Iv got a 290 coming in January, comes with digital dash as standard and you can change the ambient light to 8 different colours and is 7 speed

Leon cupra is only behind on power in this generation. The mk1 Leon cupra r made 210bhp then went to 225bhp just like the s3 did. Same power as s3 but was priced like a mk4 golf gti which had 150 then 180bhp. The mk2 Leon cupra r had 265bhp same as the golf r mk6 and my s3 of it’s time. Even the normal cupra that was priced like the gti made 240bhp so it’s not had any disadvantages before this generation

How do you compare it to your bmw m2?

Great review and he's very easy to listen to. Just one thing though,and this isnt meant to be a negative towards the reviewer...if you pull a woman in a bar, and she sees you've turned up in a seat, would it scupper your chances compared to if you'd turned up in say, an Audi S5? This seat sounds like it's a great car, but does it loosen panties like Audi, Merc, BM or Porsche? That's the question.

Have you ever considered reviewing the i30n performance?

Good luck ❤

Got the EA888 engine in our Skoda Octavia vRS, although it's only pushing out around 220 bhp. Is there much different between said engine and that on the Cupra's and GTis?

Nice video, did the owner remap the car as I need advice in the West Midland 4 SEAT Leon 300 remap please

You should collab with Sideways Sid for a Clubsport S video!

Of course it’s more fun, it takes more skill to drive fast💥 this is coming from someone with a 425 bhp golf R to😂 Nothing beats RWD for fun though, pure chaos

Not into hatches, but as looks go in the VAG stable, IMO the Leon is better looking than the R and S3. However, I think the 7.5R is better looking inside with the Discovery system. Me, I've got a 7.5R Estate - Audi didn't make a S3 Estate and I didn't like the look of the Leon Cupra Estate (although the MY19 one looks OK).

How does cupra 300 compare to fk2 ,fk8 civic R ??

Wanna see more M140i POV drives

What do you think about turning the slip diff up to strong with OBDELEVEN mate. Good or bad idea. Car is brand new 290

The holy hand in the thumbnail 😂😂🙌👋

These vag group EA888 cars are very capable cars but i have a 280 2015 with only 29000 miles. I went down to see Nicky at R Tech for a stage 1 and they found play in the turbo and advised me not to get it remapped until i sorted out the turbo issues. They said it effects 1 in 20 of these cars! Anyone guide me in the right direction to get this turbo shaft play sorted without breaking the bank!

Nice car but those dsg farts would get very old,very quick!!

Hamza do you want to review my 1.4 toyota corolla vvtì I've put a performance exhaust and induction kit on it 🤔....😂😂

I just traded my 2018 m240 for a 2015 cupra 290. I made 9k on the sale and put it towards my mortgage. Loved the bmw but not really missing it. The cupra does the basics very well, front end feels great engine and brakes are strong, manual gearbox is direct. The touch screen and some plastic bits are a downgrade but the fundamentals of the car are strong. I'm liking it.
