[CraigSEAT]

At a secret location in Middlesbrough 2 of the 4 in the country Lumina Orange & Speed Blue where there in the flesh, as working for a SEAT dealer i got the privalage of a test drive and what can i say WOW! quickness isnt the word and the sound of the thing music to my ears!

Really topped off my day!
Got a few pics will put them on if i get chance.

In my country, Greece, new cupra and fr are delivered right now. The goverment has a special 'new vehicle promotion plan' which gives discounts to all cars until the end of the month, plus seat here is giving an extra 10% off every car so the new models are coming out here first in europe.
I got my fr for 17000euros and the next month it will cost 20000euros.

Was this the event just round the corner from the dealer there?

Ideal place to test it really isnt it. Was going to have a ride down but didnt get chance unfortunately.

So they dont come with the Seat Sport brakes as standard, guess its a option.

 

[stu38]

Hi yea they are £1100 option!!!!!!!

I want one... I think I may trade my car in and cover the cost...

 

[jazzdevil]

First orange one I've seen 'real' pics of, rather than just the SEAT emulator thing on the web... and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it suits the car.

Did it have the windscreen/sunroof rollover glass which 'looks' like a single section from a distance?

the alloys are sooooo ****.

Cupra with no big brakes isnt a cupra either.

Seat better bring out a cupra R version of the ibiza because this is a sad excuse for a hot hatch in this day and age.

Give me a clio 200 or corsa vxr instead any day of the week.

hi friend we had the same kind of plan for 3 months in Turkey but only the cars below 1,6 lt engine included.

as a result of this there is a long waiting list for the cars ,and all of them sold in this period.

The blue one with the black alloys looks far better.

I have to agree with what Poverty said though, for a range topping car it seems a little soft compared to what other car makers like Renault or Vauxhall have to offer.

 

[QuietQuackers]

Not a proper Cupra, glad I didn't bother waiting, big brakes should be standard

Can't disagree with that - it's expensive for what it offers.

Yes, they are the standard 17' rims for Ibiza FR.
I have posted more photos of my FR in the Ibiza mk5 section.
