    My New Car: Seat Leon Cupra R

    After driving in my Golf TDi for 4 very satisfying years, i found it time to get something newer, faster and more luxerious. I've always loved the look of the Leon, and when i downloaded the multimedia pictures of the Cupra R around 5/6 years ago, i fell in love with it.

    So after a very thorough search, I found the perfect specimen.

    A 2003 Seat Leon Cupra R with just over 50000km's

    It is the 209bhp version, which is fitted with a stronger more rigid engine then the 225bhp version. It has all extra options like 18inch wheels, full Recaro interior (225bhp version only had recaro front seats) and a Seat Audio system.

    I will get the car in 8 days (bought it 3 days ago), made a very good deal with the dealer, the front will be completly resprayed (light stone chipping) and they will look around the car for repairing any small scratches they can find (i couldnt find any though). And ofcourse 12months Guarantee on everything except brakepads/exhaust/tires.

    The car is totally standard and original, with all badges intact. Which it will stay, the car is just gorgeous and perfect like this.

    And for the enthusiasts, here some specs:

    Leon Cupra R
    1.8l 20V Turbo Engine
    209bhp (212) @ 5800rpm
    270nm @ 2100rpm

    0-100kmh in 7.0s
    Topspeed 237kmh

    ABS/ESP/TCS

    Can't wait!

    Congrats. I think it is rare to find a unmolested example of such a car, does it have a full history, including invoices etc?

    Lower it.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Yes, it has been bought and maintained at the same dealership as where I got it from. the car has been nurtured by the previous owner, who bought a new Leon Cupra.

    That was properly lowered. It was an absolute charm on the high quality highways of Belgium.
