Bis aa. A duel in which there are no losers. The lion is the absolute balance. Cordoba customer looking for a more radical. The car are father and son, but it sure any of them would admit an exchange at any particular time.

He would miss the Ibiza Cupra also with the name, to have the most potent and effective trio, to date, of Spanish sport. But since about the same engine equipped with the turbo version 1.8 only varies as far as aesthetics is concerned -the Sport- Cupra replaces the finish, we preferred to focus all attention on the Córdoba, which is the first time receive such a distinguished and suggestive name. Although it is fair to remember that since the latest version of the engine extinct Cordoba 2.0 naturally aspirated 150 hp on the “old” body breathed the same spirit and philosophy that has given this new variant.

Walter da Silva has been responsible for defining the outlines of every aesthetic adjuncts which distinguish Cupra Ibiza and Cordoba, from the specific 16-inch wheels, spoilers and skirts, front grille and bumpers, to interior decoration, with the main frame on white background and orange as characteristic numbers in detail or aluminum bottom bracket. What is lost (unfortunately) it is the two additional clocks controlled pressure and oil temperature and were located in front of the shifter.

a dynamic, aggressive and youthful appearance without excessive overloading your figure is achieved. But it is difficult to hide is that the design of Cordoba and somewhat of a veteran forms sins, which is evident most clearly when we compare his body in front of the the most modern and molded Leon.
This does not deprive him of having a spacious interior and well used, the only gap in this aspect is a somewhat narrow driving position. Although the configuration with three doors -the only available with this motor- makes access to the rear seats, rear enough to accommodate certain comfort with two adults space (three is difficult in any compact), while 550 liters boot him one of the most capable category. Albeit with a small cap that does not allow access gates as articulated in the ceiling.
Lion’s body, except for capacity, wider and versatile luggage compartment. The interior is finished off better and offers more space for all passengers. But part of the greater or lesser habitability of one or other model is the lion who looks much better conductor. With multiple settings of the steering wheel and seat can immediately accommodate whatever our size. The seats are also larger and offer better lateral support. Like the Cordoba features an optional leather upholstery, but in any case it is advisable; Yes, the price is the most attractive, especially in Córdoba. But despite the Cordoba has been renovated full recently, there are aspects that clearly denote the highest quality León, as the operation of the pedals, the closure and sealing of windows and doors, the feel of some controls or combination plastics and fabrics used. And for the record that this is not a demerit for Córdoba, whose quality standards are at the head of the competition, but an all praise for the Lion.
While at first glance it gives the impression that the Cordoba Cupra is a vehicle totally radical break, once we put up shows that the wolf is not so, but their mood is easily tamed and does not require exceptional skills at the wheel. What may turn out to be something uncomfortable, because the moron damping is chosen excessively hard and profile 45 tires make any pothole overcome a punishment for vehicle occupants. In return, all this translates into positive factors when it comes to maximize the chances of mechanics.

The most significant differences in frame between the Lion and the Cordoba must be sought, rather than efficiency itself as rolling, considerably higher in the former and noticeable from the outset. While the linear stability when traveling at high speed is noticeably better in the Lion (longer wheelbase and track width), Cordoba is more agile reactions when we enter very twisty mountain sections.
The Lion always reacts in a somewhat more docile, more progressive landslides, while Córdoba can be more violent if intentionally provoke him when we have the vehicle resting on a bend. But in both cases the driveability is the dominant note. And yet it can be if we have the invaluable help of ESP stability control, option both for only 85,000 pesetas. However, if we practice sports driving with the connected part of the feelings that these two sports are able to awaken, especially in Córdoba, as it begins to act too soon and leaves the vehicle practically stopped in the middle of a lost curve.

As for negatives, include weak resistance brake system of Córdoba. Perfectly they dosed and offer good mordant in the first braking, but little to do intensive quickly lose effectiveness, forcing slow down running to cool. For its part, the Lion, with oversized discs, endure the demanding work smoothly for a long time.
