Welcome to the #1 CUPRA and SEAT destination and community.
SEATCUPRA.NET was founded in the summer of 2001 as a hobby by a group of like-minded, enthusiastic SEAT owners. The aim was to provide an in-depth, knowledgeable discussion forum for fellow SEAT enthusiasts to exchange information and ideas on all SEAT vehicles.
Today, our website covers all SEAT models, new and old, including Leon, Ateca, Arona, Ibiza, and Tarraco. As well as all CUPRA models, including CUPRA Leon, CUPRA Terramar, CUPRA Tavascan, CUPRA Formentor, CUPRA Ateca, CUPRA Born and CUPRA Raval.

Two decades of growth
For over two decades now, the community has continued to grow and has become one of the largest and most popular SEAT and CUPRA motoring-related forums and social media communities anywhere on the web.
Currently, there are more than 51,000 members populating the SEATCupra.net forum, over 500 new registrations each month, and an average of 80,000 page views per day. The whole website has over 2 million visitors each year. It constantly evolves to bring you the very latest news, reviews and information and insight from all aspects involving the world of CUPRA and SEAT.
Many CUPRA and SEAT specific product reviews and features are all discussed on the forum, across all areas of interest from general ownership, to performance modifications and styling.
There are often community-organised events, shows and local meets. Our aim for the forum has always been as an essential resource to be used for the open sharing of advice and knowledge, but there is always room for fun and banter!
As the community has grown over the years, many close, lasting friendships have formed, and it has a strong community spirit among its members that is second to none.
We strive to provide the most accurate information. We are often invited to attend official CUPRA and SEAT press launches and gain access to special events, and speak with senior staff to bring the very latest and informative content.
After being approached by SEAT, our members were also involved in what we believe were SEAT’s best product marketing initiatives to date, including the pre-launch of the MK3 Leon CUPRA. Check out the video below.
We are also featured in the motoring press from time to time.
With the help of many expert contributors, our knowledge base is full of the most useful information, and the forum itself is a gold mine for both old and new CUPRA and SEAT owners. If you search on practically any related subject, technical or otherwise, you’re almost sure to find helpful information.
Reviews
We aim to provide the most in-depth reviews of CUPRA and SEAT cars available online. These will often include videos.
We are fortunate to get invited to official press launches by SEAT and CUPRA so we get to drive the cars before they become available to customers.
CUPRA and SEAT Community Hub
We have always seen our forum and our other online resources as a means for the CUPRA and SEAT community to organise and promote the brands we enjoy.
We encourage the community and all its forum members to use this resource as a hub to organise regular events, such as community meets, shows, exhibitions, drag runs and rolling road days. The community attend many of the major annual VW Group shows such as GTI International, VW Festival, Trax, Ultimate Dubs, etc.
Many of our members continue to organise national and local meets throughout the year, including UK circuit track-day events, driving trips to the 24Hr Le Mans, and even the world-famous Nürburgring in Germany.
CUPRA and SEAT Motorsport
SEAT and CUPRA have always taken an active interest in our activities and the community as a whole and occasionally engage directly with the forum community. The SEAT UK press department has contributed to the forum. The UK SEAT dealer network and its sales and technical personnel are also actively involved.
From 2003 to the end of 2008, with the generous assistance of SEAT and several UK racing circuits, we secured special in-field access at most national race circuits. Supporting the high-profile SEAT Sport UK British Touring Car team and the supporting series, which included the SEAT Cupra Championship Leon R Supercopa. One of the drivers even featured our website on their race car.
On these occasions, we often saw our forum members display up to and over 50 SEAT cars parked together at each meeting, helping to promote the brand.
‘FREE’ membership for all and no subscriptions…ever!
This site and its community are entirely ’FREE’, and the discussion forum is also free to register for.

We do, however, remain a totally independent group, with control over all aspects of our direction and content.
The aim of SEATCUPRA.NET has always been to be run as a non-profit making CUPRA and SEAT enthusiasts’ website and remain the hobby we started it as. 100% of the funding we receive is channelled straight back into supporting the continued growth of the website and forum.
Every member of the managing team who owns and manages the site is an enthusiastic volunteer; no one ever profits from its funds except the community. It continues to be run by enthusiasts for its enthusiasts, always free.
Sponsors of the forum may, on occasion, offer group buys for selected products or special discounts, saving members significant money. There are also CUPRA and SEAT dealers offering discounts on both parts and servicing.
