Seat Leon Cupra R - shoei
Had my first drive of a Cupra R today, Goodness me what a fantastic car, very, very quick shame about the interior being a bit cheap and not a good feal to it. I think I might buy one of the new 225bhp in november, any feedback would be great.

Seat Leon Cupra R - Vansboy
Friend of Mrs Vansboy just got his, results so far....

Annoying creaking from rear.Can\'t find out what, yet.

A \'loose wire\'?? causing total ignition failure & recovery home at midnight.

Chose black, so finding out how hard it is to keep looking smart.

Still think he should have had the Honda, or put a few £$£$£ towards Rx8!!

I\'ll keep you posted, if anything comes up.

Vansboy - re the creaking. My Toledo (same as the Leon but with boot) has also started to \"creak\" at the back.

I\'ve got to have a proper look but my initial thoughts, after thinking it was something mechanical such as the suspension bits, is that it\'s the rear seat back or squab.

It maybe me but I only noticed the creaking since having had the seats folded down recently. Maybe HJ has a clue from his experience of a Leon? RB

Mine doesn\'t creak. It\'s stiff, but not creaky. Worth checking that the space saver and jack are properly tied down. Sometimes spraying some lubricant on the bushes quietens them down (does on a Primera), but make sure you cover the brake discs and pads.
