Anyone had a play with the 'Driver Profile' on their new FR's?

Thanks, dont think i've driven it at night yet

I can see a cheeky drive tonight on the cards

You can see the led's in the daytime if you look up into the recess.

But, yes, as mentioned they can be seen as intended at night time. The red is easier seen than the white.

Probably has 'Dramatisation for effect...' in the tiniest possible font somewhere on it

I looked for that, but no sign of it (I could have just missed it though )

At least it's only a minor thing..

Not like the false advertising involved in THIS:

As title, has anyone had a play with the Driver Profile settings on the new FR's?

Notice any obvious differences?

I have a 2019 seat leon FR DSG
putting profile in sport holds gear change till about 3000 rpm much more control

No difference steering feel

the only difference is Eco will kill you with laggy throttle response from a junction

no noticeable difference between normal and sport

the Eco engine mode should be illegal. It’s very slow to respond and the cruise control is literally accelerating 1mph per 30 seconds up to speed. And the MPG doesn't even improve compared to the same journey in Sport/ Cupra mode. If it’s much noticeably more unresponsive on my Cupra 290 I dread to think what it’s like in the lower powered models

EDIT actually I had this in my 1.0 Ibiza FR 115 and even though I recall it was less responsive I seem to recall you don’t notice as much I guess as the car is less power/ responsive as standard?

Definite lag with throttle response in Eco and Normal but it's not too bad. However MPG barely improves so defeats the purpose. Saying that, I do leave mine in normal for day to day journeys as I prefer the early upshifts (more relaxing) when driving lazily as the response isn't so bad. I don't use Eco at all though, as after trying it for a while I decided it was a bit too lazy and I do not like coasting. Steering is permanently in Cupra Mode as prefer the heavier feel. ACC seems pretty rapid in both modes for me.

What do you mean by “normal” in the Cupra? I usually have mine in comfort.

Whatever the default is. I always have individual selected and just change the engine mode as like the rest of the setup.
