Currently weighing up options between the two.
I've always wanted to replace my vxr with a newer model but the cupra 280 has also gained my interest. The cupra certainly seems better kitted out, but I feel it looks a bit more bland, inside and out compared to the astra (when equally spec'd). At the minute, the vxrs for sale around the country have been under spec'd (no screen, no full leather, no Bluetooth in some cases) whereas the only thing missing from the cupras is the leather, but they generally have a lot more going for them with screens, cameras, sensors, led lights etc etc. I have also considered the Golf R, but we are talking 5k more than the astra, 2/3k more than the cupra and usually double the miles, but I wouldn't rule it out completely if the right deal came along.
Anyone any thoughts on either selection?
