I agree with AJ, Ibiza offers more for your money, Audi comes with a premium price because of its name.

any reason why, golfs and A3's seem to be a little cheaper. i'm liking the Ibiza more tho.

AJ, whats the differance between the cupra and the cupra R?

i'd get the golf and try to spend the upper limit on it, one around £4-5k aren't the best examples

i considered all three, before getting the corrado, found the ibiza a bit too boyracer image, depends what you after in a car

Oh right, thanks for that, so my chances of getting an R for under 6K is pretty slim

Go for an Ibiza, they are excellent! And all you need is a remap and you have 200bhp.

I considered lots of Vag models, purchased an Ibiza cupra on a Y plate. As A J Mair said keep your eyes open and keep looking. I managed to get mine with 20k on the clock, hpi clear, mint condition etc. So keep checking .

I think this cupra is a bit of a bargain though ibiza

You can always map a remap a cupra - think it costs around 500? John

Mine is not mapped yet but its next on my list! There are lots of different maps available, Revo is a popular one (206bhp).
They are all around the £450 - £500 mark.

Corb - Have you sold a Onvi Yellow LCR in the last few weeks? Someone I know has just bought one but I dont know if he's got 210 or 225 version.
