The mk1 formentor already has a pure engine sound mode, not sure about the cupra leon cos my leon is the mk3 290, i suspect the more powerful models will have this also

Comfort = exhaust flaps closed
Sport = exhaust flaps open, 40% soundcktor
CUPRA = exhaust flaps open, 100% soundaktor

Pure should be exhaust flaps open, 0% soundaktor

I have the perception that CUPRA mode also produces louder pops/bangs than Sport mode.

Not sure about the pops in cupra vs sport, i have mine set to individual with the engine in cupra, dcc in comfort and "engine sound" set to pure and i can hear the flaps click open when i switch from comfort to cupra/individual

I do know though that compared with the Cupra 290 3.5 the pops on the formentor are far louder when it's stock for stock, i was shocked at how loud they are in my formentor compared to what my 290 was at stock. The 290 had better dsg farts though.

I'm loving the rear light setup with the illuminated badge.
But the front is more generic and has less presence.
Interior controls are closer to where they should have been in the first place.

It's not causing to me to rush down to the dealer to upgrade.
