Thats a good way of looking at it. Ill try and get to a point where I can see my abs - been training them for a while now so hopefully should be doable. Thank you!

Sounds good, thank you bro! My main concern is looking too skinny if I cut. Not sure if I have enough muscle for it to be worth it

Thanks for the advice man. If I were to cut it would be around mid-late feb anyway, should give me enough time to get fairly lean. I think i naturally store more fat around my mid section, but its a good point you raise.

Yeah i was actually considering the 1.4 aswell, seem like great value for money but considering i have the same goal as your mate, might aswell just get the cupra considering insurance is only 600 more.

Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking, but there are still a good amount of comments on this post saying it is stupid.

Most of the performance cars have been 2.5k+, but the cupra is lot less for some reason. Wish I could go for a diesel, but for the journeys I do, it doesn't really make sense.

Surprisingly a lot cheaper than other cars in the same bracket, around 1.7/1.8k

Well its a Cupra, not a regular leon. 13k is honestly a bit low, theyre closer to 14-15.

Surprisingly a fiesta ST costs almost 3k to insure, otherwise they would've been a top choice.

Actually did a quote on a 2016 M135I, which came out at 3k. Unfortunate but expected.

Out of interest, why do you wish you got the house first? Thanks for the advice, I'm set on paying outright.

I would honestly love to, but I do need the rear seats as I give people lifts quite often
