Ordered a Cupra today. Car 'in transit' I was going for went whilst we we doing the paperwork so going to have to wait for a build. Delivery Oct/Nov is best guess.
 
Yes, it is a factory order as the car that was ready and available (in transit) was taken by somebody else whilst we were sorting the paperwork out.

Went for a Cupra 290 Black in Red, and added the rear camera.
 
I have gone manual - first manual Cupra my dealer has ordered.
As much of a hoot the DSG was on the test drive and as nice as it is in jams and slow moving traffic, I'm a manual guy at heart.

Mine will be DSG but only because it's a leasing car. Got Skoda 1.6 Diesel before this and after 77k kilometers clutch needed to replace (DSG) and car was less than 2 years old. I need to drive also a lot (work and back on heavy traffic so DSG was my choise). I totally understan you, it has some magical connection to car when toy have full control.
 
Lease Cupra's seem to being delivered over a month earlier than expected.
Although I've still not taken delivery of mine (it's arrived at the preparing dealer) till I sell my current car.
Surprised they haven't been chasing me to take it as it arrived four weeks ago now.
Mine was a standard ST Cupra DSG in red to avoid paying extra for the paint upgrade.
 
How long ago did you order it? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago at the dealers and was told September mid to late :-( no options just 5dr DSG metallic
 
Order to factory was confirmed the beginning of May, once they'd sorted finance paperwork, with expected delivery to preparing dealer 10-12 weeks so end of July. With me taking delivery the start of August.
Then got an email 22nd June saying it was with the supplying dealer and I could have it before the end of June.
Would prefer to wait to take delivery once I've sold my Jag, so haven't chased them for a delivery.
Fingers crossed I've got a bit of interested in the Jag, so will get to try the Cupra in a couple of weeks.

Sounds like the last car that was already scheduled for production. The last manual disappeared on Sunday.

Thats why I ended up with a factory order with delivery Oct/Nov and not Sep as the car I was chasing on the production list would have been
 
I ordered my manual in May and took delivery 8 weeks later when originally quoted 12-16 weeks!!
 
I sincerely hope that the 10-12 week lead time (ordered 1st week of July) doesn't bleed out to October or November. I already can't wait this long!
 
My Cupra ST 290 lease car being registered on Friday. Hopefully get it delivered next week :)

Awesome! Wont be long now then.. If registered today I'd be surprised if you didn't get offered it this week. Mine was delivered the day after registration.

Finally been able to drive it now too.. What a car!!!!

Don't think they'll get it up from Manchester to the North of Scotland this week as it's not registered till Friday. Have been holding them off as long as possible till my last car sells.
 
Ah fair enough.. That's a fair distance for them to get it!

I'd be surprised if you have to wait 12-14 weeks, I got my SC in 8 weeks from order.. Although with the factory shut down for 2 weeks and all these new deals on the 290 BL I'd assume there will be a higher demand for them
 
Think I must be the only person on here that's not wanting the car early. I got it written into my agreement that I wouldn't be accepting the car any earlier than December.
 
Car now being delivered Friday, as they have a delivery slot for the area then.
Wasn't desperate to get it as still have my old car, but excited about getting out for a drive this weekend now. Won't be going far with the wife due babah 2 in 2 weeks time. 1st job will be checking if all the baby seats and seat covers fit :)
