Glovepup Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Just to let you guys knows. SCN have reported that the winter pack has been removed as an option for the cupra, this would of only been heated seats but you cant have that cos of the buckets and the heated jets come as standard I believe. They have also made an annoucement about the spare wheel.. "Emergency Spare Wheel From launch to week 11 all Leon Cupra will be supplied with an emergency tyre repair kit. From week 11 all Leon Cupras will be supplied with a 18'' spacesaver spare wheel 18'' spacesaver spare wheels will be automatically issued for all Leon Cupras built before week 11 once stock has filtered down to the dealers."

Sparky Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Sorry guys, forgot about this thread! No, I've not ordered one yet, but it's pushed the A3/GTI off my Next-Car list. Currently it's now either the new TT, or the new Cupra. Totally different cars, so once I've tried the TT properly I'll make my mind up, but god damn the handling is very sharp in the Curpra. The TT is going to have to be very good to compete. Having said that, there is a £6k difference in the cars so will need to see how it all weighs up. We already have a Leon Sport so not sure if I want another Leon albeit a bit quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glovepup Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 You have my sympathy, I hope you let him know that he may of cost you a new leon cupra!! I would of been fuming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Cheers mate. I was quietly fuming, thinking there goes my Part-ex! To top that, the Seat Dealer has been on the phone yesterday asking if he can place me an order! Bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Couple of things about ordering. 1st- Spare wheel is a can of tyre gunk, ask dealer to soak cost of a space saver spare 2nd- Sat nav is a big rip off 3rd- Absolutely no option on the seat material- leather isn't available (shame) One of the things I was very happy about is the car weight, a reasonably trim 1375 kgs, compare with an S3 (at 1475 kgs), an R32 (at 1575 kgs) and the Golf GTi (at 1360 kgs). So power to weight is better than the R32, better than the GTi (standard 205 PS) and within 3% of an S3. Fuel economy is in the late 20's so again better than an r32 or an S3. Tax banding at 199 CO2 fixes the Cupra at £210, as is the Golf. Not sure on the S3, but the R32 is top band at £400 for new ones. Only issue is 2 wd over 4 wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't have an issue with the FWD aspect. The way the power is put down was mightily impressive and it handles much better than the GTI does. Sat Nav looks good in the sense of breaking up all that plastic in the console, but I can't justify the price when TomTom is so much cheaper, although admittedly not as nice.

drpellypo Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I really really really really want one of these. I'm so bored with the Passat, and the cupra, with the extras I want, still comes out a grand less than the Passat was. It just looks so damned hot.

Andrew Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I might just have to get myself a test drive of one of these. Not sure about the interior styling though. I love mine despite the horrendous bills of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glovepup Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 The interior is not that bad if you remove the awful looking radio, which is the 1st thing on my list to do. Then revo is next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Glovepup- Any news yet on delivery date ? As a general question, has anyone found discounts for the Cupra yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glovepup Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 No news on the delivery date as yet, but still looking at May as I rang the dealer last week to make sure was all ok. They told me I will know two weeks beforehand the date that the car is mine!! You will be lucky to get any discount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
