Well, it is a big old barge with a hot hatch engine.
Leon ST 300 - 1557kg, Cupra Ateca - 1615kg, sure neither of these are lightweight, but actually not that heavy for a car these days, that said the car we are looking to replace is a 2 ton diesel from Korea (a Craptiva) which has better throttle response and better steering feel despite its mass.
The 280bhp Stelvio performed better in most regards, a front end that works rather than fall to mush, shame it is not as cheap at the Ateca.
