I thought I would just say hello to you all.

I have a Nevada White ST with 4-drive DSG on order, but no build date yet.

A question to those others who have a 300 on order, as far as I can see on here that's philmots, spongeym and sukz, how soon after order did you get build date/ eta?

huw
I ordered mine last week and should be picking it up mid March, if all things go to plan..

I am toying between a cupra 300 or an s1.

Leon is more practical and has more power but the little Audi has 4wd. Decisions!

Auto Express published a review of the Cupra 300. 'More fast than fun' is their verdict...
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/seat/leon/98586/new-seat-leon-cupra-300-2017-review

Not sure that their comment about the ST is accurate.
"...the wagon is available only with four-wheel drive and a six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The hatchbacks are front-drive only - although you can choose between the DSG and a six-speed manual gearbox.

Pretty sure it's available as manual (although I would be looking at DSG which as AE say is only available with 4drive)?

Quick question for you to ask them: why no mystery blue Cupra ? Is it not suiting this model well ?

Any difference in exhaust note in SC / ST / 5dr ?

Yes many of them were that colour. It looks nice, but not for me personally.

I didn't ask but it will be due to factory priorities and the cars they have available.

No difference in note I'm aware of.

What do you guys of think the standard 5 spoke rims? I think they look good with the blend of black and diamond cut edges

Yes I have gone for white again.

I'm going to have to get the side skirts afterwards though as they look great in the flesh.

I've taken some close-ups including underneath. Just writing my review at the moment - lots of pictures and video to process as well.
