bro I have this car and i congratulate you for the proper review!! you showed the real cupra leon. This car is amazing its a rocket and it does everithing so well that I love it! sad that others dont show/promote this car in depth.
@@MrTroytroy I recon it's more of a symptom of people allocating money towards power mods for dyno sheet rather than wheels, tyres and decent suspension. My G6e turbo had 375wkw but 275 rear tyres with pilot cups, harrop lsd and decent suspension/sway bars and did great off the line. Then Rodney came knocking :(
Of all new car reviews this is car I would love test drive n Leyland mini is benchmark. Awesome design with nice Matt dark blue makes car look sinster, 60k is way off my budget especially unless I wasn’t farming but definitely buy one.
Top little Hatch there mate,it's all about how the car makes you feel & according to the smiles on your dial lol it's a great driving experience,so I'm sold as well Johnny excellent review as usual thanks man.
Great review Johnno, now that you're bringing us Euros and you made it blatantly obvious that you have a passion for Latinos, I'm hoping you can review an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Alfa claims 505hp, top speed 307km and 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds from its 2.9 litre twin turbo V6. They're out there but I'm yet to see an Aussie review. Cheers for the upload.👍
Nice review and neat car. It’s great to bring in some competition to the Golfs, Audis and Renos. 1.2g acceleration on the Dragy going into second gear is pretty impressive too. Usual front wheel drive curse off the line though.
my old scirocco was just 188kw stock and was around 5.8s 0-100 and if rainy or just cool, it use to axle tramp like an absolute maniac lmao. But along a windy road, with sticky tires its still the best car for that purpose ive owned. ive had GTiR, Mazda 3 mps, ecoboost, M135i. Light, wide fwd VAG products through windy roads are the best
I own the wagon version of for over a year it’s 4 wheel drive it’s the most fun car I’ve driven the best thing is not many car owners know about it so when your on the motorway and someone’s comes up behind you and on your ass just put it in launch mode and say goodbye, and hopefully you don’t get pulled over 😂
@@sarkishacikian62 i just fill it up and drive it not much bother with the mpg if I was that much worried I would have bought a 3 cylinder 1.0 car but I didn’t
Man I love this car. I own a tuned 7R which is all and more than I ask...but I went to Germany this year and drove a Cupra 300 round the nurburgring and I am now addicted! Cupra have done an amazing job with the platform. Could almost say it is the best MQB platform but maybe the 8r? Though this is about 20k cheaper...so why wouldnt you!
@@RossReviewsauWent to Indoorpilly to buy one today LOL, wouldnt let me take it overnight to test. I never buy any car unless i take it overnight to make sure its something I really want and they said no so crossing Cupra off as a brand to buy from lol just like I did with Ford when I asked for a Mustang lol. Never had issues with Audi, Chyrsler when I did that. Audi was probably the best out of all the dealers Ive been to, let me take any car I wanted to check out until I found the one I wanted. Looks like im sticking to Audi lol.
I was impressed by them but I heard someone say every time you telll someone you own one you will spend 30 minutes explaining what a Cupra is.. which is pretty reflective of a lot of the comments 😅
OMG ross whats after the Camry perhaps a hot datsun 120y fitted with trick hotdog muffler, 1-1/4 inch sports exhaust, jetted 350 holley, 3/4-race cam , shaved head white wall tyres, rear vision mirror fluffy dice, fox tail hanging off car aerial, full race harness, a street weapon, capable of sub low 20 sec quarter times valve bouncing at 4k, if you carnt find a datsun 120y how about the next best thing a valiant charger, never seen you cane a 265 or mopar small block, say hi to your Mom for me @@RossReviewsau
Half the car for full size car prices. Never made sense to me how they could put such a high price. The size of the car means less materials needed to assemble. So why would you buy it considering the enermous price. And that goes for any small car with ridiculas prices. And, finally a new brand scares the hell out of me because you don't have a track record on build qaulity and reliability. I prefer to stick to what i know.
Your positivity in your review was so uplifting cause I love this car.. ordered mine and it's coming soon!
Glad I could help! You will love it!
bro I have this car and i congratulate you for the proper review!! you showed the real cupra leon. This car is amazing its a rocket and it does everithing so well that I love it! sad that others dont show/promote this car in depth.
I appreciate it! Congratulations on the buy! Amazing car
What fuel economy do u get city highway
We are now in a world where a front wheel drive car in the wet is just as quick/quicker than:
FPV GT-F manual - 5.75secs
600hp G6E - 5.75secs
Seat Cupra VZX - 5.76secs wet
BF F6 - 5.82secs
Mustang GT manual - 5.82secs
409rwkw FGX G6E - 5.85secs
VESS Ute 430hp manual - 5.85secs
C63 AMG tuned - 5.86secs
HSV e3 Tourer Manual 407kw - 5.85secs
SLK 55 S/C 600hp - 5.88secs
HSV GTS LSA 537kw - 5.88secs
E3HSV - 5.92secs
G8 cammed Holden - 5.92secs
VZ 385kw Ute - 5.94secs
485whp VE cammed manual - 5.95secs downhill
C63 AMG 507 - 5.98secs
510rwkw G6E - 5.98secs uphill
Amazing how many of the tuned cars are even, if not slower than thier stock acceleration numbers.
It’s impressive.. I was shocked it got the claimed number in the wet..
@@Andrewdoesbass it’s normal. Once you get past around 260-300rwkw in a RWD car you tend to get slower 0-100km/h.
@@MrTroytroy I recon it's more of a symptom of people allocating money towards power mods for dyno sheet rather than wheels, tyres and decent suspension. My G6e turbo had 375wkw but 275 rear tyres with pilot cups, harrop lsd and decent suspension/sway bars and did great off the line.
Then Rodney came knocking :(
@@Andrewdoesbass and a lot of manufacturers claims were extremely optimistic. Tyres and surface very much matters too
The Decepticon version of the Golf R. That thing looks cool az!🔥🔥🔥
It’s bad ass for sure
Fixes all the issues that the Mk8 golf has to deal with.
It’s just better eh.. not to mention all the tuning potential
Yeah like not being able to figure out how to change the Volume or Temp ? I mean who the Fuck came up with that ?
Except the shit interior and ergonomics
Love it when you spend the day in Mexico John, keep em coming ...
More to come!😅👏
Glad I crossed paths with your channel. Really enjoy your vids
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much
Filmed and uploaded on the same day? Today has been miserable. Love the vid!
🤣 pretty much eh terrible weather
Same driveline and tune as the golf GTi club sport I believe. Plus the cupra looks amazing in the Matt colour..
Yes same as gti but this just feels better
Hopefully they will be bring the wagon version, over now that they have axed the golf r wagon!
i want to see more from cupra! they have some good stuff
Of all new car reviews this is car I would love test drive n Leyland mini is benchmark. Awesome design with nice Matt dark blue makes car look sinster, 60k is way off my budget especially unless I wasn’t farming but definitely buy one.
Cupra is the best in class I’ve reviewed for the money.. not cheap… but not 6 figures.. they are making impressive cars I have to say
Impressive in the wet for a front wheel drive...technology ....great review Johnny...keep them coming.....TUFGNF
very impressive to get that power down in the wet! FWD
Whilst i love the sound of an 8 and the rush of a turbo 6 i feel that hot hatches are the most legal fun you can have in a car.
They are very fun because you can really push them hard whilst yes still somewhat being legal on the speed 🤣
Top little Hatch there mate,it's all about how the car makes you feel & according to the smiles on your dial lol it's a great driving experience,so I'm sold as well Johnny excellent review as usual thanks man.
Cheers Pete really enjoyed this hatch

i will be trying to do more euros! i love all cars :)
Nice review and neat car. It’s great to bring in some competition to the Golfs, Audis and Renos. 1.2g acceleration on the Dragy going into second gear is pretty impressive too. Usual front wheel drive curse off the line though.
i was surprised for FWD in the pouring rain

Giving this a test drive tomorrow. 2022 with only 26k on the clock and for 36k I can’t wait
The King obviously is the Rs3 not the Golf R...
I’m saying off all the cars with this engine EA888 (rs3 Is much more expensive also)
@@RossReviewsau 👍
Rs3 is in another segment. Pointless comparison
That engine bay would do my head in !
Modern cars sadly
I own the wagon version of for over a year it’s 4 wheel drive it’s the most fun car I’ve driven the best thing is not many car owners know about it so when your on the motorway and someone’s comes up behind you and on your ass just put it in launch mode and say goodbye, and hopefully you don’t get pulled over 😂
This car is just so good.. i can’t fault it and for 2023 there isn’t anything much better in the class! This was a gem
What fuel economy do u get city highway
@@sarkishacikian62 it’s alright but you have a lot of bhp so if you drive crazy it will eat the gas
@@harfindad i mean with 75 miles per our or 130 km/h do u get 8-9 l or bellow
@@sarkishacikian62 i just fill it up and drive it not much bother with the mpg if I was that much worried I would have bought a 3 cylinder 1.0 car but I didn’t
Great review Johnno. Nothing like a new EA888. I’m just burned by what happens when you get over the 100k on the odo.
thanks mate glad you enjoyed it.. was a fun car
Man I love this car. I own a tuned 7R which is all and more than I ask...but I went to Germany this year and drove a Cupra 300 round the nurburgring and I am now addicted! Cupra have done an amazing job with the platform. Could almost say it is the best MQB platform but maybe the 8r? Though this is about 20k cheaper...so why wouldnt you!
Couldn't agree more!
Good reviews man keep it up
Appreciate it!
I notice the TC light flashed on the launch, maybe it still cut in a bit to assist that 0 to 100?
Haha laughed my ass off when you mentioned the once infamous leader of Germany (he who shall not be named) 😂 great product / just get it tuned
Great proposition in the current hot hatch market!
It’s a great car
Are yoou murican? Just the accent. Love this vid and have subscribed!
Thank you.
You're welcome!🙏
I might buy one. I know one upgrade that will make this car insane and its only going to cost me 2k and wont mess with warranty.
they are a solid car.. enjoyable

Yeah, I'm not paying 75k for the new Golf R 8🤑
The new golf r has just gone a little to disconnected for me. Pulse the price for a tiny hatch..
@@RossReviewsau You should do a 9th Gen Civic type R import from Japan
Ford ***ked up big time ending the Focus & Focus RS here , Seat , VW , Cupra , 2yr Old great Value !
3yr Old Golf R great Car & Value .
Dude, this brand has calumny attention especially the suv you did. Would you pick it over a N ? Great work mate.
The N is more racecar out the box and loud! But this EA888 has so much power to unlock and it’s a better built car simply
@@RossReviewsau interesting. Thanks bro. Catch up soon.
Think they are offering 1% finance on these
Correct!!
I was impressed by them but I heard someone say every time you telll someone you own one you will spend 30 minutes explaining what a Cupra is.. which is pretty reflective of a lot of the comments 😅
It will hopefully catch on soon.. they are seriously making good cars for 2023
What fuel economy do u get city highway
I would say around 10 how I drive
They're not making the I30N anymore? That didn't take long. Why the hell not?
Apparently emissions 💀
The little i20n will be next.
Like a VW paella
Never heard of this car before
New into Australia :)
This or a kona N? 😅
i would go this for quality finish and handling.. the Kona N is a little more "fun" if you just like pops n bangs tho
Tidy car. Look good
i really am a fan of cupra now
🥸 *_the Führer!!_* 🤣🤣🤣 _sore ribs_
HAHA glad you got my humour
very very disappointing review Johnathon, no muscle car, no girls, no mom, WTF whats next a Toyota Camry
Toyota Camry coming in hot 🔥
