To change or not to change my car?
I have owned a Hyundai i30 with a 1.6 petrol engine for last three years and I am thinking of changing my car. I have been offered a SEAT Leon Cupra R, from a Seat dealer, to change my car by giving mine and 10,200 Euros, it is six months old. Is it good option or not?
P.S. Is it possible to put 16" wheels alloy or steel on SEAT Cupra R? I would keep my Michelin A4 winter tyres from Hyundai i30.

Very quick car. No, 16" wheels will not fit around the brakes of a Cupra R. Poor brakes were the problem with the original Leon 20VT 180s, and this was addressed with bigger discs that requires 18" wheels.
