    Hello Gary.
    Cupras are great cars and that stage 1 and all the other additions have made it even more entertaining.
    As usual the MT kit seems top quality and they all enhance the car with an oem+ look and feel.
    The Golf R is a very rapid and competent car but like has been said with those additions the Cupra has been made even more fun.
    Thanks for another great vid and review mate. 👍🏻

      Hi Mark, thank you for watching as always! Indeed - the Cupra is certainly more fun than the R, the FWD just makes it feel way more lively and playful. They are also cracking value in comparison. I was really impressed with the map in that you only notice it when you want to. The car still drives very sedately when you want to cruise 👌🏻

      good video Gary, and about right I thought. I have the 300 with the stage 1 but without all the add ons...apart from exhaust/high flow air intake /powerflex engine mount. m t done a good job .nice of the owner to let you have a little go in it.

      very,had it about 2 years now. A local dealer in Folkestone KAP . They also fitted the cobra exhaust and set of new Ps4's at the same time. One thing you didn't mention , after a re-map the limiter comes off...0-60 feels around low 5's ! I'm guessing test car was similar? It has more bhp/torque than mine.

    On a side note, you talking about the traction control - I may be wrong, but I don't you can ever FULLY turn it off, even when you turn it off I think there's still something going on in the background but I could be wrong.

    • @CarFocused

      I just press and hold the button until I get the warning on the dash - I’ve never noticed intervention on my car after that but this one still flashed up on the dash that it was intervening. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

    My 280 is very similar to this. Mine has a stage 1 ECU tune, APR open intake filter, Ramair intake hose, Ramair turbo elbow, res delete, dogbone mount insert

      @@CarFocused I am happy with it but, I’ve had a lot of mechanical issues unfortunately. Despite it having full Seat service history. I think stage 1 is max I’d want to go with a FWD car like this. It’s plenty of power. Any higher and I’d want it coupled with a 4WD system.

      @@haz_raf that’s fair enough mate. Sorry to hear you’ve had issues with the car. I think my 300 has a slightly updated variant of the EA888 engine, which has been very reliable. It’s other things I’ve had issues with like the shocks, window switches and creaks here and there.

    • @haz_raf

      Also, in my opinion, the soundaktor needs turning off in these cars 100%. You can hear the actual engine and exhaust then, and the car sounds more chill, like you said.

    Mountune has worked worked their magic again, but from what I saw it threw the power in to excessively as you could see how the steering wheel jerked quite badly, but hey that's power for ya 😅
