CUPRA 300 coming next year
- Thread starter IMC
- Start date
It is also in the 5DR price list, although it might be that 4wd will only be available on the ST.

Had to register just to share the following - just coming back from the BG Seat dealership where i wanted to order a 290 build to my liking (my awesome 1.8 FR with all options is going to the lady).
Was a bit of a shock that they told me they no longer take orders for Cupra 290 due to the facelift launching around March`17...
The dealer told me last month he has been to Spain where behind closed doors the FL was shown - the Ateca lights are true
but he mentioned the new car`s interior being made of higher quality materials, electronic handbrake, something about the side mirrors dead zone and that there would be a 4WD option.
Which really doesnt add up as if it is a 4WD then the HP should be at least 350+ to compensate - i doubt they will release a FL which will be slower than the 290.
Anyway, quite disappointed seems i have to go and order a second hand 290 (i hate the Ateca head lights) which hopefully will drop in price after the reveal in Sep`16.

Hate the electronic handbrake in the wife's A6.
If the leon is going to end up with one I best start looking for alternatives for when I replace my current leon.

I have one in the golf. I'd rather not have one again.
When did someone decide that pulling a lever was so much of a hardship anyway? It wasn't a problem that needed solving so why has someone so fit to do so.
It will be interesting to see how they position a 4wd option (hopefully it is only an option and not the only choice). Headline grabbing 0-60 no doubt, probably add a bit to the price but will be slower in real terms unless it does get more power. Would they dare give the Seat more power than the S3?
Aww I really don't want an estate.
I guess this makes sense as they already fit the 4WD to the ST so from a factory Capex point of view it works with little investment. They simply drop the EA888 into current production and the associated map.

I think it's wrong of Seat to make it 4wd and with e-brake. It becomes so close to a Golf R then, and another 10hp is not going to make a difference.
The main reason i got my Cupra 280 was that i got the "R-engine", but it wasn't as heavy as an R or Audi S3. And i felt i really didn't need 4wd. Oh and it still had a regular handbrake lol
I still prefer driving the Cupra or Golf mk7 gti over the R. They are both more fun for spirited driving.
The only complaint i have with the Seat is the interior, that is much better looking in the Golf and a whole nother level in the Audi.
But i guess that's what you pay extra for in those.

Oh yeah, just looked and seen that it is still available, I am sure it wasnt last time I looked. Nearly £38k tho to get to same spec as a Leon is likely to have and I am sure the Leon Cupra 300 would come in less than that, will have to wait and see.
