Moin together, I am currently facing the decision to purchase a new Leon Cupra 2.0 TSI with 245 hp as a Hatchback or an i30N performance with DCT. Both vehicles are new. The i30N costs me 35k and the Leon 36k. I can’t quite opt for one of the two. I drive about 70% in the city, 20% country road and 10% highway.In the year I drive max 10,000km. currently I drive a Polo GTI AW 2.0 from 2020. My thoughts: i30N + really fun to drive + great Exhaust sound and very flexible adjustable + spread between sporty and comfortable to configure in custom mode very well + 5 years warranty + Speaks to me visually very much + DCT works great and is not as “protective” as the VAG DSG – interior is OK, but no more – quite high fuel consumption (sampling averaged 14 L. At 110 on the highway with cruise control also almost 8 L) – slightly higher insurance costs and taxes Cupra Leon + Speaks me visually also outside se hr an + interior I find very nice, looks higher quality than the i30N + lower consumption values (estimates in everyday life about 3 L less on 100km than the i30N) + If it works, more extensive infotainment including wireless Apple Carplay + better sound system + slightly lower insurance costs and taxes – you still read of many software problems – looks quite stunned from the chassis – only 2 years warranty in the series ( 3 years / 50,000km connection guarantee approx 1000 EUR extr a) I’d be happy if you could just add your mustard to it….even if it’s not quite objective, depending on what you’re driving like that 😉 Maybe the one or you were already faced with a similar decision. Thank you! LG Sascha
