Are people happy with their Cupra ?
- Thread starter P0LKR
- Start date
extremely but it's very early days. tailgating BMW drivers must realise what im driving because the daily occurrence hasn't happened this week 
and will be unplugging the soundaktor as soon as i get the chance.

Gonna play with the levels of mine this weekend - see if i can find a happy medium. 50% maybe to start with.

I'm driving a BMW 116i just now. Cant wait for it to go
i'd looked at getting the M135i but didn't want the generic public perception that went with it

The one series is so cramped it's no good for a family. I'm sure the 135 is awesome to drive but also expensive to run. I bought the Cupra as a company car. The tax is high enough without going to a 3 litre v6.
if it was only activated in Cupra mode i might put up with it but because it seems to make itself heard in Sport too it's gotta go.
it was the seats more than anything. a mate's just bought a 120d, i couldn't find a comfortable position and had a numb a$$ in less than 25 minutes during a 4 hour journey lol

It's not a comfortable car. It's cramped as I mentioned but is also difficult to get in and out of. It's also a pain in the ass to get young kids in and out of car seats in the back. Boot small. Manual gearbox is notchy as hell. Laggy engine. Need I go on.
thats exactly how i use it too.
My use is the same also, great car.
lol my mate had tried to persuade me to get one and i thought with it being a more square shape (because i was leaning toward carrying capacity for traveling parts of europe with my bikes etc) that the 1-series would be sufficient but when i discovered it's humble amount of interior space that's when i changed my mind. i hadn't sat in it before then so when i eventually did it sealed it's fate.
i've tried all the modes but for the moment im mostly using Individual with a Comfort/Eco bias because it's only done 350 miles and i like the coasting mode when i take my foot off the gas. that's not to say i've been soft with the throttle, quite the opposite, i just haven't visited the other side of 4000 rpm yet and because of refraining from spirited driving the only noticeable difference i've felt so far between Cupra and Sport seems to be the intensity of the soundaktor

Must admit the main concern I now have Polkr is the dreaded wheel tramp that is being talked about on another thread.
I had hoped that the combo of traction control and esp as well as the trick electro mechanical diff would deal with tramp and torque steer, unless everyone is giving full welly all the time, giving it large!!
