I had a 53 reg Audi S3 Quattro with some OEM extras, absolutely brilliant all round. It was remapped so making around 260 and it was quick! I sold it for £5k, it was gone within 4 days of listing it. I'd seriously recommend one, only thing is they're 3 door. Here's mine: The Leon uses the same engine so if you need 4 doors I'm sure it would be as much fun apart from the handling (thanks to the Quattro system). I had a Cupra TDI and it was an excellent car, nice interior, driving position but I haven't driven a Cupra R so can't comment on performance too much.
