    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    Isn't the point that this basically is a "normal" Cupra anyway? There's no significant performance upgrade, it will just suffer from the same wheel hop because they won't change it.

    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    I watched a video on YouTube about these last night and gotta say they are actually pretty beautiful cars, really like the contract between the copper and the matte grey especially! But I'm of the same opinion as most of you, just don't feel the performance aspect lives up to what you would...

    Anyone else bored by their cupra?

    This, my mate bought an M3 because he was bored of his old ST. He said it was ace for about a month, then he found out that the same boredom started creeping in -- even though it's 440hp and beautiful. I think it's natural for people to simply grow tired of cars when they're in them all the...

    Tall drivers

    I'm 6'5'' with extremely long legs and have got to say that the Cupra 280 is probably one of the roomiest cars of that size I've ever been in. I don't even have the driver's seat back as far as it can go!

    VW Golf R 310 DSG vs. SEAT Leon Cupra 300 DSG

    Keep meaning to put mine on one tbh but haven't got around to it yet!

    Chosen a Cupra 300 over a BMW M240i

    I'm around the Cheshire/Liverpool area and can honestly say that, at most, I might see another Cupra 2/3 per month. I'm not trying to say they're ultra-rare nationwide but there's a lack of them around this area and that certainly appeals to me. Standard and FR Leons are almost everywhere and...

    Chosen a Cupra 300 over a BMW M240i

    I'll be honest, I like BMs (I've made the mistake of having a go in an M3 and now I want one!) but they're so common on the roads that it really puts me off getting one unless its a true M model. The M240i has great reviews and seems brilliant but, IMO, its far too similar to other 2 series...

    VW Golf R 310 DSG vs. SEAT Leon Cupra 300 DSG

    I wouldn't out much stock in the 10ps more thing since VW are renowned for underselling their output. For example, on a rolling road my mate's Cupra 280 was pushing 300 stock.

    SEAT DriveApp & Android Auto

    Yeah, that might do it. I don't think it's an app bug as it worked for me.

    SEAT DriveApp & Android Auto

    Maybe a silly question but have you connected your phone via USB whilst doing the set up? It should then connect and prompt the continuation of the process.

    Well it's goodbye to Seat

    I think JACUPRA280 hits the nail on the head. Regardless of whether people assume one brand is premium and the other not, a Cupra is more in-line with a Golf R than a standard, or even Clubsport, GTI. Cupra is top of the line for the Leon model, and R is top of the line for the Golf model. As I...

    New cupra 300 arriving detailing the car

    Yeah, gotta say that Stoneacre didn't wash it as per my instructions. It's weird as it's a complimentary wash but they try to sell it to you like they want to do it! I did take the complimentary vac though and they did a superb job on that. Exactly my worry but I just make a note of the...

    Well it's goodbye to Seat

    My friend has the GTI and it's a lovely car, really nice inside and nice to drive. But nice to drive is the best compliment I can give it; it gets you from A to B with no issues and a nice smooth drive. Maybe it's just me but I didn't buy a Cupra for just a smooth drive but the performance that...

    New cupra 300 arriving detailing the car

    Had a service in Stoneacre a couple of weeks ago and the girl serving me made a right fuss about explaining to me that they have changed their washing technique and guarantee no scratches from the complimentary wash. The car had only been washed and cleaned the previous day so told her no and...

    Thanks for the confirmation. Will wait on AndrewJB for more information if he tries to update again today.

    Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

    Just to continue sounding as stupid as humanly possible about this topic (as I don't really understand the differences between the MIB1 and MIB2 styles), I've just checked and the settings on the car are: 5F0919866H 0040 ECE 2014/15. Can you confirm if that is MIB1? Sent from my E6853 using...

    Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

    If my system is similar to yours, what's the best way of achieving the update? I'm assuming not the way I was thinking about doing it? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

    SEAT DriveApp & Android Auto

    You're correct, current app on the Play Store is from 31st May, and is version 2.5.2. But, even with a fairly broad search through APK websites, I can't find a newer version that 2.5.2, and having downloaded both the one from the app store and one from an APK website, I can confirm they're both...

    Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

    I will look at those details this evening. I'd imagine it will be similar to your pre settings.

    DSG Exhaust Popping

    I have a feeling that the noise sounds different in person since I've seen multiple people praise it on YT videos but always felt that it sounded a little "wrong". Have a test drive and see what you feel about it whilst actually driving and you may be of the opinion that it isn't too bad.
