Seat Leon Cupra R 225

Jim Rosecottage · 15-08-2008, 12:31

Hi everyone.

Just wanted some advice. I have had my Skoda Fabia vRS since Jan 2008 now and love it. Its just abit small and want something with a little more grunt.

I like the look of the pre-face lift Leon Cupra R. Has anyone got/had one?
What are they like?
Have you had any problems?

Would just like to hear what people have to say about them.

Got my eye on one for 9k in dark gray

Thanks

Should be a fair few available for sale, I prefer them in red or gunmetal

Nice motors and capable, with the ubiquitous 1.8T in 225bhp form

I take it you've already been over to SEATCupra.net - Your #1 source for SEAT information - Home to have a look round? Popular classifieds over there too, where you might find the perfect candidate

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks mate. Yeah the gunmetal is the one i mean it looks the nuts

Wardy · 15-08-2008, 17:12

It's a good choice, if you need some more space and also like the prospect of a turbo'd petrol

Has a lot going for it, and is a lot of car for the money IMO.

I nearly ended with a Cupra TDi, but the Fabia won in the end

Keep us all updated with how you're getting on

Not all of them. Two different models, the earlier 210bhp AMK engined Leon R and the later 225bhp BAM engined Leon R (cant tell by red badges and red stiching on the steering wheel, also has a quicker rack)

My friend had a 225 Revo'd up to 265bhp, it was a machine, blew the clutch up though

A standard 225 is about the same as a mapped Fabia on the move to silly figures

Jim Rosecottage · 15-08-2008, 18:10

Have noticed that the older models where 210bhp. Def want a 225bhp Leon. It sucks but i cant find a Seat Dealer near me with one. There all private sales. Was hoping to part ex the Fabia vRS in.

Ill keep my eye out. looking forward to getting one and got a very good insurence qoute which i wasnt expecting being a group17 car.

My mother-in-law has the run out of the old shape Leon but hers is badged as an FR which replaced the Cupra but is fitted with 17s and the titanium wing mirrors.
It is quite rare as most of these are the 150 TDIs but hers is the 180T petrol.

You could always try to get one of these and map them to around 215bhp.

bengie · 16-08-2008, 08:48

btw september 2002 to august 2003 was the production run for the 210, all those built(but maybe not registered) after this point were 225's

lewisgraham · 16-08-2008, 09:07

I currently have one for sale atm.....

225 model 53 reg, black,.....65k miles FULL service history....every tyre bought/everything done to the car has a ticket

revo remap to around 265bhp....stage 3 clutch.

Got someone coming back again today to see it......just think he could be a tyre kicker .....dont know if he has the money yet

Jim Rosecottage · 16-08-2008, 11:01

Thanks lewisgraham but not sure i want a black car. Had trouble keeping my black 172 clean.
Why you selling anyway?

lewisgraham · 16-08-2008, 12:38
