NOTE: I just need to correct something I said about Walter De Silva; I claimed he had designed the original Audi TT, when in fact it was actually the Mk2, which sadly isn't as good looking in my opinion...

If I'm rightly informed, Walter da Silva also designed the Audi A5 which (in my opinion) is one of the prettiest Coupés of the past 20 years.

I had a 56 plate 1.9TDI Stylance, from new, for four years with loads of extras, sunroof, bluetooth, heated seats, larger alloys etc. Loved the styling, still do and loved the car.

An understated hot hatch. If it wasn't for the large alloys you'd think it's a normal Leon. From the side view it looks like a MPV. I've been in a Mk5 golf GTi. And I found the ride firm but never uncomfortable, partly due to the supportive seats in these VAG cars.

Nice car, i think it looks good as when it was made 13-14yrs ago style wasn't too bad for that era. The interior is very functional and simplistic and I actually like that in a car. This car will be reliable and will keep going for years to come. Good choice.

Hi Mate, great video! Ive been looking at mk1 Cupra R and mk2 FR 2.0 TFSI... Which do you think would be a better buy? Both similar-ish price and insurance so having owned both (sort of) what would you say?

Hi Ethan, thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As it happens, I recently owned a Mk1 Cupra R and I filmed a comparison with my Mk2, which can be found here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/raSh2JWnoqp0Z5w. As much as I like the Mk1, personally I think you're probably better off with the Mk2. It's more modern, more refined, parts availability is better as well. Certain parts are extremely difficult to get for the Mk1 due to its age whereas I've had no such issues with the Mk2. I hope this helps.

Good choice as it is my case, you don’t like to drive everybody’s car. Those who bought this car in the past , didn’t want to have the same as the Jonesses ( who bought a Golf). As you said, it was a bit in the shadow of the VW which got much publicity. I hope Patsy looks forward to be driven around . I love the English countryside on your videos.

The interior is minimalistic and indeed a bit cheap. Still feels better than a KIA but far behind a BMW. The good thing about the cheap interior is, that it's robust. The material still looks good after several years of heavy usage in my MK2. I tried the Mk3 and Mk4 in the meanwhile and besides of lots of new extras, when it comes down to the core (driving, seat comfort, sound deadening etc.) I didn't notice any difference in quality. This was way different with other brands: every time a new mazda 3 was released, it looked a more modern and overall quality improved as well.

Nice review I think the looks are ok but facelift is better especially rear lights. A lot of performance for the money and good daily so it's a good choice. Anyone you got in mind for a remap r tech are best for this engine? How's the ride quality compare to the Ibiza? My friends Leon felt much better than my Ibiza?
@CarObsession

Yeah, the facelift definitely looks better, it looks sharper, a bit more modern, although there are certain parts of the interior I prefer on the pre facelift. Annoyingly, I came across a really nice facelift a few days ago that would have been in budget, but the mileage was higher, and the advert was far from descriptive... I still think this example was a good choice, though 👍Thanks for watching. Edit: Sorry, I forgot to answer you other questions. A few people have recommended R Tech but it's a bit far for me, and AmD Tuning offer half price remaps when an exhaust is bought, and I wanted an exhaust so it made more sense. I know R Tech are really good, but I thought is it really worth going the extra distance when AmD Tuning will also offer a good service? Regarding the ride, yes, it's noticeably better than the Ibiza!

Hi there, thanks for watching. They're two different driving experiences so I suppose it boils down to what you want from a hot hatch. The EP3 IS the better driver's car, but you have to thrash it to get the most out of it. The Cupra has more power and it's easier to exploit that power thanks to the turbo. Do I regret my choice? No.
