Started as subsidiary of SEAT or something but is now it's own brand.

For the price, I'm surprised how many I see around. Have others noticed similar in other states?

Was interested in the Cupra Born even though I hate VAG with a passion,

It weighs about as much as my old 7 series, which is a 5.1M long luxo barge,

How you can make a Golf sized hatch weigh that much is hilarious.

Have seen a few on the road, they look good

But it's 1900kg and under powered, with an expensive price tag.

I think for me I'll be waiting for a Tesla Model 2 to come along
