[nova16v]

leon cupra r or civic type r. ill av about 10-11k to spend. what wud u get? 52/53 plate leon wiv around 20-30k, a 52/53 civic wiv about 40k or a 182? n sum reasons why plz

Drive all three and decide IMO. All fast, capable cars but it really depends what you want out of them.

 

[rory182]

spend 7 or 8k on an Integra Type R and put some money away. Sometimes I regret spending so much on a car at my age, then I go for a B-Road blast and it's all justified.

 

[Rich]

As others have said, which fits the bill for you?

Drive them and see, after driving them all I prefered the 182.

 

[rory182]

give the guy a break ffs how to lose potential members in one easy step

 

[John185k]

for looks and turbo power you could choose the Leon R
for engine and decent interior space and funky gear change the Civic R
for handling and easy to run you could go for the 182

personally I would go for a teg too, or an evo 6

up to you at the end of the day

 

[seb]

i think you need to drive them all to decide fella, i would like a leon at this moment in time, only becasue i would like some mre space and a bit of a better cruiser for the motorway miles i do.

11k may get you an okay S3 but it'll have more miles on than any of the other cars.....Audis still hold their prices.

 

[Tyson-182]

I'd personally go for th LCR, with the 182 being my second choice. Its dependant on what you're looking for. Hows insurance on all of them? A guy on here was selling his LCR in yellow with around 30k on the clock for £11k ish. I think his thread is in the For Sales section.

Hope this helps. Tyson.

I've been told only get LCR if you get the 225BHP not the 210BHP and for that money/year it will be the 210 unless you spend on it.

 

[nova16v]

cheers 4 comments so far! bruce why not get a 210? whats the differences apart from 15hp?

 

[theduck]

spend £500 on the 210bhp one and you get 265bhp same as you get on the 225bhp variant so does it really matter?

yup its a different engine its more than just 15bhp

 

[BRUCE182]

I've come from a Cupra to a 182 and wanted to go back to a LCR but at the moment think price is too steep,I've noticed modified ones don't seem to sell that well in the trader.I beleive there's some trim difference as well ask these lot the question http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/

Theres not much differrent between the 210 and 225. The only differences is the 225 has sculptured mirros and a red line on the steering wheel and a tracker. There is no other differences.

I loved my LCR, quite a different beast though. The 182 is proper hot hatch, light nimble, squirt and steer kinda driving.

The LCR is heavy more powerful, nice turbo kick, good a cruising noticable bigger, build quality is far superior. Dealers are cut above renault as well. Better retenion for the future as well as theyve taken the hit with new leon. The yellow LCR (geordiepauls) is good value. More expensive to insure, petrol and parts, although service cost are fairly low!!

Anymore questions fire away. For me the strengths of the LCR and clio mean depending on what your looking for in terms of driving, I would pick either above the CTR.

buy my ibiza cupra coz its nice

 

[sh33n]

buy my ibiza cupra coz its nice

It really is, even if it's a diesel :approve:

 

[lawrence]

integra type r dc2 model all the way, sound investment, more fun and focussed than the clio 182, more reliable, residuals are holding up well, look a the age of them and prices compared to the mk1 172s

 

[tameracingdriver]

Dealers are cut above renault as well.

You obviously aint been in the Seat dealers around ours then. They are pure crap. The Renault dealers seem a lot more helpful already round here.

 

[Tyson-182]

Have you made up your mind yet, or booked any test drives?

The Ibiza Cupra TDi is a great car...a lot of fun with silly MPG!!

Tyson.

 

[Martin_172]

i would probably go for the Cupra R, love the styling and its ment to be a cracking engine, especially when its revo'd. i would have to go for the 225 model because of they cracking wheel!

 

[cliovicky]

Leon cupra r, my mates got one does 155mph easily with 5 up going up a hill ! Chipped too 275bhp !

 

[nova16v]

cheers 4 all da comments! i drove a 225 yesterday straight after a civic. it woz miles betta! im just not sure on which model tho coz of price.225 r only better steerin wheel, diff rear bearings n badge(plus 15hp). the 210 one is same unit as s3 too. they both chip to da same so dunno which to get?

 

[Ad]

The S3 changed to the 225 engine as well.

 

[Toypop]

Pretty similar to the CTR discussion. If I was offered both cars for free I'd take the LCR but when it comes to realistically buying one out of my own money....

Impressive cars but I wondering how long the box/brakes and tyres would last with this lkind of power through 2 wheels.

 

[haribo8]

if you've got another 1K get yourself a DC5, they're best out of the bunch and not everyone has one. the only draw back its group 20 insurance cos its import only.

 

[ant_v6]

182. Find a nice un-messed with car and it will look a lot more cool than those others mentioned. The Civic is ugly and the Seat a nobody car – even if it is fast.

Something special about the 182 and the lightweight approach it champions.

 

[cliovicky]

Buy a trophy !

 

[Rcbuk]

Personally I'd choose the CTR, the 182 and the LCR last.

They're all great cars but it comes down to personal choice at the end of the day. Drive them all and decide which YOU like best

 

[Jay]

I'd go for a 182, depends on if you like good build / gadgets / or fun factor!?

 

[Joolz]

My choice would be

1) Cupra - big wheels and great looks + loadsa power
2) Clio 182 - a bit cheaper than an equiv aged Cupra
3) Integ - well what a hideous looking motor, might be a great car but chavvy as hell
