Anyone had a Leon Cupra 180 and a CTR?

Fair enough, but pictures could prove it considering you had some for your Audi.
My first ever Honda (and only) was a Honda s2000.
Not a CTR I know, but I used to slate Hondas for ever and a day about no torque, undriveable etc.
Once I bought my s2000, after a few weeks my words to my friends were engineering brilliance. The motor was just something else. I know it rev'd to 9 k and not sure what a CTR is like but the facts were it was driveable day to day. It lacked a little low down torque if you are used to turbos or diesel but it did not make it undriveable infact more drivable as you could be a lot smoother.
when opened up it really did perform. It sounded amazing
That said it was terrible on fuel no matter how you drove it

I deleted them all after I put it on Autotrader. I had one on FB but I also deleted everything when I started a new account (girl stalking me, not nice).
Not entirely on MPG at all.
Don't get me wrong they are fast...but this is because they don't weigh as much, which is down to lack of sound deadening, plasticy interiors, etc. You can't have your cake and eat it... hence choice of A3!
If you really want to play this game I could suggest this

2.0 4cylinder high revving honda engine with 197hp vs 3.2 250hp V6 and a gearbox that changes gear in under 400ms whilst sitting in heated leather seats listening to your 6cd full Bose sound system...need I go on?

Love the potential power from the 20vT engine. I'd remap it to start!

About £580 now.
The Audi is also utterly irrelevant, the OP doesn't want one so why was it brought into the conversation? Other than sharing 3 doors and 4 wheels it's not remotely the same kind of car as the EP3 anyway.
Who mentioned tuning the CTR, is this something the OP has discussed with you in private? The "fancy ECU" is not £1200 anyway, and you don't need the stupidly expensive aftermarket parts to get more power from a CTR if that's your thing.
So you bought an abused/barried example so they must all be chavvy boy racer cars? You are certainly making an excellent attempt to emulate your PH persona.

Haha will never get old with me.
Funnily enough I was looking at them on Autotrader last night!
A 330i is better than an LCR or a CTR. No turbo lag, plenty of power and torque, RWD. Purchase now.

What's galactic? The E46 wears miles probably twice as well as an LCR or CTR would. I'd see a 70k CTR as similar to a 120k E46. The E46 is a different league of car - two segments above, and built like it.
Leagues ahead of both as an all rounder in my hugely biased opinion too. So long as you're willing to put the effort in to looking after it, and spend time finding a good one. Mileage should be a non issue, the cars are worth nothing now anyway, the core unit will go on for a long time and at the age lots of bits and pieces will need refreshed regardless of miles.
A 3.2 A3 is a viable alternative too, but not one with the hilariously dodgy early DSG.
