Pace and handling make new Seat Ibiza Cupra a winner

Seat’s Cupra line-up has earned many plaudits down the years, most particularly thanks to successive Leon Cupra models, which have been wonderful additions to the legion of hot hatchbacks on the market.

Quicker than many rivals, these smart Seats have proved themselves to be a very cost-effective proposition when compared with the likes of the Golf GTi, the Peugeot 308 GTi, and such like. Brutally quick and demon handlers, the Spanish company’s contenders have nevertheless flown under the radar in the popularity stakes.

If that has been the case with the Leon Cupra, then it is certainly even more so with the Ibiza Cupra, not too many of which you will see on our highways and byways.
