Thats not a pre face lift. Its a facelift, and no, its ot slower than a golf r. Only thing the golf r is faster at is off the line. On a track the cupra will dish out gaperoni pizza

I had one of these, In my review I talked about why I think its better than a Golf R/S3. I just got a second one after swapping it for a diesel for while. Love it, represents great value for money. And I've been able to get insured on it at age 22-24 way cheaper than even an entry level diesel BMW. I definitely think the electric assisted steering is a bit numb on centre like most VAG cars, but the FWD, the diff, and the power make it more characterful than its 4WD counterparts, if a little less capable.
Just checked how much it would cost me at age 21 to get insurance on one of these. Just the affordable 5 grand, really good for young drivers 🥴🥴🥴 Also the cost of the car is really affordable at 25 grand
Why is everyone hating on this bloke? Its more affordable than the VW hothatches and Audi etc that what he means by young drivers buy this its like the new EP3 type r for this generation
I'm 24 and got quoted £3.5k. Living in London is so great, when your not dodging cyclists and mad pedestrians, you're paying TFL and some council just for turning on your engine and then getting it up the arse from insurance companies for good measure.
I'm 20, I have 3y ncb. I have a 290 and payed 1650 for the year with admiral (no black box). Big factors are speeding convictions and your postcode area.
That’s decent, I’m lucky to live in a quiet area and I have a 290 and I paid 750 for the year with elephant (admiral partner) no black box either and I’m 20 with 3 years ncb
This is a MK3 FL, not a PFL. Also, none of the Cupra's have valved systems. What you heard was the S mode of the DSG making the car idle at 1k as opposite to 750 ish.
All you young drivers quoting how little your insurance is on these cupras probably live in some village with low crime rates. State your area along with your insurance.
I once had a Leon Supacopa. It was a rocket ship. Was quick around the streets but the motorway was where it belonged. It just cruised and ate up the miles. Would've kept up with anything. I think the Leon is a much better looking car than the Golf. The Golf is a bit bland for me. Tempted to go for one of these but do the TSI engines still suffer with excessive oil consumption? That is the only thing that would put me off. Always worrying that it was going to run dry.
I wouldn’t agree this is really cheap - it’s cheaper than a Golf R, but a 2017 like this one could still set you back 18k. That’s not what I’d call cheap, at least not for young drivers. And that’s before you factor in the insurance cost for an inexperienced driver.
Yeah "young drivers" should definitely get this car. Especially since it starts at a used price of £15,000, from what I just saw when I looked it up. Also the insurance on it is £7000 for me for the year and I already have a 1 year no claims bonus. I think this is the most ridiculous title Ive seen on a video for a while.
I don’t get the hype with FWD? If you get too happy with it the car just understeers vs AWD just sticking vs a RWD kicking the rear out with a bit of oversteer to catch
You’ll find AWD actually under steers more so than a FWD. Especially the haldex systems. FWD is lighter than AWD and therefore faster, and more characterful and fun to drive.
There’s literally not a single positive comment on this video, like everyone’s saying change the title of the video barely any young drivers would be able to afford this unless they’ve got daddy’s money to spend
Hi Jamie I have been following your videos from day one I follow you Lee loxkwood Jesse colingham and matt Armstrong would love to meet you all in person I have also just started my own business venture as a mobile valeter if you are ever sheffield way id be happy to give your car or cars a going over for you
All your videos have exactly the same title with a different car model, be real, what 20 year old even a 23 year old like is going to afford one of these without going heavily in debt lmao. I have a 2004 Leon Cupra bought outright but you can't tell young people should buy these cars especially heavily modified ones lmao
This car doesn’t seem to have the black pack. Front grille is always black; nothing to do with black pack. With black pack, the CUPRA on the rear door should be also in black as well as the chrome rings on the dash.
Hayden Shears When I bought my Cupra ST 4drive in 2018, the pack included the rear door CUPRA logo in black as well as the chrome rings in the dash and doors. I didn’t like how it looked inside; black pack was too dark for my taste. The only thing i miss was the rear CUPRA logo in black. It could be also country specific; I bought as German spec.

Chris exactly so it’s not really good for young drivers unless you are talking about 25 year old young 😂 It was significantly cheaper to insure my self on his Alfa Giulia 🤣
Chris well funnily enough I got a cold air intake as soon as I got it ( going to take that off and replace it with a performance panel filter for not telling the insurance purposes ) and I have recently orderd a straight pipe ( still with the cat just removing middle silencer with straight through to back box ) but I am definitely running factory backbox so it is not to noisy and so it looks visually standard for insurance purposes 🤣
Tom Nyon visually it’s boring, just another jelly mould 5 door hatch the vag group bangs out, could be a 1.0l, but if that’s what you want from your hot hatch fair enough
Hayden Shears good price, but my point was they are not cheap “brand new” brand new a cupra is over £30k list price of the 1.5 was £24k just over a year ago when company car came.
Stop saying “young drivers should” when you’re always showing stuff that NO young driver will be able to Get insured on without spending thousands.
