MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Paul1979]

Collected mine earlier today and had a nice 200 mile drive home! WOW!! What a car!

I've done 250 miles now but have resister the urge to go over 4.5k yet!

The ST also seems really quiet on the exhaust front..no DSG farts have been heard in those 250 miles..that may be me though going easy.

Think mine is going to be delivered Monday now. Idiots at Snows Seat are incapable of sending a written costing for the skirts to CS so I have to get the car without them and then take it into my local dealer in a couple of weeks for them to do it.

I haven't signed a lease agreement yet, only the initial order. But I have paid a deposit to the dealer, so that might give me some leverage.



They are definitely dragging their feet this morning! VWFS won't let me speak to them as the agreement isn't live yet. SEAT Customer Services don't want to know as it's a VWFS issue. Apparently my only choice is to go through the dealer, who are being helpful enough.

VWFS did let slip that the increase in price was because I will now be getting an upgraded MY19 model. Which obviously wasn't my choice! Would have been more than happy with the spec I ordered in March.

I have all the paperwork, including the original terms.

Still feeling livid. I expect this will be resolved one way or another today - either they honour the agreement, or I'm walking away and seeking compensation for the distress and inconvenience.

When I collected my 290 5dr last week I had issues with paperwork because of an address change.

Also this then brought about an increase in price that VWFS we’re trying to enforce. The garage had to argue it to get it set to the original price, apparently it was because it was changing from a 300 to a 290. Although as the dealer said plenty of others had already picked there 299 up with 300 written on the paperwork.

Good news. Had a call just before 5pm saying they'll honour the March price. It's taken a lot of effort to get that! And I'm still waiting to see it on paper/screen, so still a little sceptical...

Tomorrow is the day for me. Train across to Warrington then drive back to Leeds in my now Magnetic Grey 5dr with Beats.

Yeah the my19 seem to be quieter, in Cupra mode I can’t here the exhaust for the sound aktuator.

Only seen one in my local area, and one that was for sale but did see one in the m4 on my way home today!

What's the 0-60 time on the 290? Keep seeing different numbers!

 

[Morleywhite]

Have they engineered out the axle tramp on the my19 Cupra?

I've not really noticed any so far not done any launches though and that was something I was worried about.

I’ve done a few quick starts but not on full throttle, just had a bit of wheel spin in the damp conditions.

 

[Paul1979]

Even on a wet road I have never had anything other than grip! It just goes!

with fuel prices so variable what's your fuel consumption figures? after a steady fish drive home with mine yesterday and a long run it suggests I should get just under 400 from a full tank! I don't see that being the case though! I am guessing someone will come along shortly and say that what you're getting aint too bad.
