  1. Grey Leon Cupra A422 towards Buckingham

    Sadly not, it had a copper Seat badge on the front. There's a couple of white Atecas in the area :thumbup:
  2. Grey Leon Cupra A422 towards Buckingham

    I've not been on here for a while but I've moved on to a white Cupra Ateca and shortly after turning onto the A422 I got a wave from a Cupra Badged Leon heading the opposite way, think it was an ST? I didn't even register the wave until it was too late, and have felt guilty all day, if you're...
  3. difference between fr and cupra ?

    Not in the real world, Jesus would have been held back by traffic and long distances and bodykits, not to forget MPG and his extortionate price. Let's be real, one of the three wise men could easily outperform Jesus in everyday conditions. Fair enough though; on a track day Jesus would start...
  4. difference between fr and cupra ?

    :lol: Now I know you're trolling. What's the point in having anything more than a 1.0 Nissan Micra, what's the point in having a TV bigger than 18" when it shows the same channels as a 70", why go to the beach when there's a swimming pool down the road? Live life a bit more and enjoy it, those...
  5. difference between fr and cupra ?

    Yes, apparently that puts a Fiesta on level pegging with a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren. Garybuttle, it's not the destination, it's how you get there [B)]
  6. difference between fr and cupra ?

    They're not talking about the price, who would even think that? It is the halo brand of Seat, like VXR is to Vauxhall, or VRS is to Skoda and yes, like AMG is to Mercedes and M is to BMW. Calm down dear.
  7. difference between fr and cupra ?

    That's better! Thank you, you too. Leons are great cars.
  8. difference between fr and cupra ?

    It's not going to help much on a car without a mechanical diff. Out of interest, what happens after 3000rpm to all that lovely torque? Talking about the difference between the FR and Cupra to get back on topic, whilst you mention the peak figure, what about the Cupra's torque spread, its at...
  9. difference between fr and cupra ?

    What's torque got to do with cornering? :lol::lol: With all the comments you're coming through as very insecure with your choice of car. Its absolutely ok not to own the top of the range car, just be happy with what you've got and realise its limitations. Also if you're gonna use the SI...
  10. Traction Control Thud

    Most powerful FWD cars have it, as well as some older RWD I've driven, just need to ease the power on. Its much better in the Cupra than in Focus STs and the Mazda 3 MPS in my experience.
  11. Cupra Diff settings question

    Hey all, I've found myself driving 99% of the time in Individual mode, and I have the diff set to Cupra. Apologies for the really noob question, but is there a downside to driving with the diff in that setting at all? Is there any reason not to have the diff 'on' all the time, and if not...
  12. Auto hold question

    I'd honestly take a manual handbrake over an automatic one every day of the week, it doesn't even remotely get in the way of the armrest so I'm not sure of the advantage. Just one thing I've noticed, on a completely flat surface, if I keep the brake depressed for longer than around 10 seconds...
  13. Cupra Servicing in Buckinghamshire

  14. Mystery sound outside of car after engine turnoff

    Speaking of animals I feel a bit less cuckoo after reading this, cheers :D
  15. Oil spots on engine cover 2.0 TSI Cupra

    Will do cheers for the replies. I can't see how it would be on top of the engine unless it's sprayed from somewhere, PCV? It's wiped off already, hopefully just a clumsy dealer.
  16. Oil spots on engine cover 2.0 TSI Cupra

    New and under warranty.
  17. Oil spots on engine cover 2.0 TSI Cupra

    To my absolute shame I've only just opened the bonnet after 3 months of ownership. I'm on about 1500 miles, oil level is fine if a bit on the high side. Anyway there were 5 or 6 small spots of fresh oil on the engine cover, not centered around anything in particular but perhaps a bit too...
  18. Mystery sound outside of car after engine turnoff

    :rofl: Thank you! It's good to know I'm not going mad. I have noticed that it doesn't "tick" loudly when cooling like older cars so this sounds right! Cheers hutchy!
  19. Bucket seats

    They look so good! The one option I wish mine had! Are they really not height adjustable?
  20. Mystery sound outside of car after engine turnoff

    So this question may seem so mental that I will be committed, but... I'm not looking for a problem, as it's just a very faint sound that is causing no issues, I'm just curious as to what this is and I'm hoping one of the boffins here can answer it... After getting out of the car, without...
