gavmk6 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I know this has come up recently but I need some advice. I've set my heart on a Leon Cupra R to replace my Escort however I'm not entirely sure what to do now as I quite like the Civic Type R and possibly the Golf Gti if you had the choice which one would you go for and why? Won't be brand new but anything between an 02-04 plate most likely I not had any personal experiences in any of these cars but I know I fancy a change and these fit the bill so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Seat everytime. ive heard civics have a problem with losing grip in the wet on bends, i dont know first hand though. the golf gti you mention, is it the mk4 one? if so I wouldny bother, they arent quick and the latest one is still a bit high priced for its performance. the Seat is well balanced and had good grip, along with practicality and a relatively low price for the performance you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy_Sausage Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 personally i'd say go Honda, the interior is great, the gearstick is mounted in the dashboard,ultra reliable, bullet proof engines and the sound of a revving V-Tec will always put a smile on your face. but i dont know about the seat, i do really like the look of it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbsi Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 i'd rather spend the money on something else. e.g. cossie, celica t sport, integra type r. but if i chose one of them 3 it would be the civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Bearing in mind that seat is part of the Vw group, the Gti's are pretty easy to tune specially the turbo models but they are a bit on the large side. I liked the mk4 gti and they can be made to go very quick. Carnt really comment on the civic or the leon tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 i'd rather spend the money on something else. e.g. cossie, ... lmao unless you want something reliable... id go for the curpa, the others every chavved up kids has .. get something a bit more exclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonez Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I know this has come up recently but I need some advice.

Won't be brand new but anything between an 02-04 plate most likely I not had any personal experiences in any of these cars but I know I fancy a change and these fit the bill so to speak im in the same boat as u m8, seat leon cupra, or a honda civic type r im after, the civic type r is great, all round car, comfortable, and 200bhp standard, cupra is around 225bhp, but ive yet got to sort a test drive in one, but the civic is in the lead for me at the moment, the golf GTi turbos are great cars indeed, sim althought the leon in this pic is amazing!

gavmk6 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Cheers for the comments fellas certainly food for thought a test drive in all three is on the cards anyway before I make any decisions Problem is I like all three at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Civic would be top of my list, i've owned one before.Great cars but by no means perfect.I was going to buy another but fancied something different and got the Alfa GTA, quite rare on the roads and people don't realise they are pretty quick!! Had a new RX8 up my arse on a dual in the week, until i floored it! lol. Gave him a shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
