It's basically a FWD MK7 Golf R. Same EA888 engine which is built proof and they are 370bhp with a remap. Over 400bhp stage 2 with a few bolt ons.
Come very well specced with sat nav, DAB etc as standard.
I've owned an E92 335i and a M135i and now own a Leon Cupra 290. The Leon handles better than both and feels very light on its feet.
I was averaging 22mpg in my 335i, 27mpg in my M135i and 34mpg in my Cupra.
There are plenty about for £15k.
The Facebook group "MK3 Leon Cupra Owners Club" is a great source of information.

I'm now looking at the Leon Cupra 280/290 as well as the ST
A guy at work has one and I've always liked the look of it. Now looking into them, they are faster, more comfortable, safer and bigger inside than the ST.
Also had a touch of budget creep. Max budget is now 18/19k but would have to be the perfect car.
