I've had two Leon Cupra's

1st one reg 1'st March 02 .. Imp Blue... Loads of issues, water through doors etc etc.. Plus 120+ stone chips within a few weeks... To cut a long story short I rejected the car ... This was eventually accepted and a black Cupra
was on order when mine got stolen...

The 2nd one was the insurance replacement.. I got it 1st Sept as Insurance could not get 'old' model any more so luckly i got first of the newer spec car..
17inch alloys and body kit...

Loads of issue with this.. Doors leaking.. clutch master cylinder failed etc etc.. Got fed up with it and after a test drive in an Octy vRS which handled better, was quieter etc I got rid and bought my current Octy...

Which has been far more reliable...

It has had /has its problems but no where like the Seat....

Where as Skoda is improving in quality ( look at the Octy II ), I had a look in the Seat Altea.. where the same very cheap looking plastics still exist...

Cheers

Dazz
