Plenty of torque I should imagine - good for towing

As quick as a Cupra, but with more torque.

They can be very quick, i know of a remapped one that does a 14.4 1/4 mile!!!! When you follow it and he boots it, it leaves a nice puff of black smoke at you!!!! Not keen on the mk4 shape ibiza though.

No. They still do the Cupra, FR is normally softer round the edges if you get me, not as hard suspension, not as tuned engine.
