I still think the 2018 is the better bet with the simpler exhaust Heh I think that may be a step too far... I shall organise that myself in due course when I work out which speakers I am going to buy.
Also likely going to get a gunmetal grey SEAT badge too for the front which I think will go nicely with the Pirineos Grey bodywork.
WOOP WOOOPPPPPP!
Well, the old adage "If you don't ask you don't get" holds forever true and I managed to get a set of winter tyres installed for free!
So in the end that gives me pretty much a 15% discount all things included which should go well towards avoiding the first year of depreciation. Just goes to show it is always worth making a bit of a connection with the dealer during your visits. Very happy and am now signing on the dotted lines as we speak.

2x winter tires works out at 15% of the cars cost?

I will assume you are both being facetious and not actually making the assumption that winter tyres equate to a 15% discount considering my previous posts about discounts in this very thread.
PS: Obviously I also meant a set of tyres.
Few photos of the girl I'll be picking up in late December / early January... I think she's a stunner and thank god I don't have to deal with any Copper or badge design malarkey.

If I lived where you could travel at 160 km/h+ speeds without beady eyed cops losing their sense of humour, I'd go for the 7 spd.
But I don't so I'm happy with the lower ratio top gear.

The more I learn about the 6 speed the more I think it suits the Cupra better... the power is always on tap.
Skip to 2:00 mins on this video, the guy summarizes it nicely
I did not have the dsg 6 before but i can say that the dsg 7 is a dream,never manual again!
The car shifts so natural and manual using the shiftknobs is so responsive,l love it!

I am starting to have some mild and potentially slightly paranoid regrets about buying a 2018 Cupra with DSG6... from what I have read the DSG7 is an improvement so I can't help feeling a bit bad for not having the latest tech inside a new car.

The DSG 6 is good, not driven the DSG 7 so can’t comment as I don’t know any different. Personally doesn’t bother me knowing that there is a 7 speed version out there that maybe better. The 6 works really well.I am starting to have some mild and potentially slightly paranoid regrets about buying a 2018 Cupra with DSG6... from what I have read the DSG7 is an improvement so I can't help feeling a bit bad for not having the latest tech inside a new car.
Plus remember the 7 comes at a cost to the other parts and performance of the car that come from the new emission regs and GPF.
Not sure why the car with the same power is now slower than before. The new 290 is slower than the old 290, and the new 300 4drive is slower than the old 300 4drive.
The only thing I’m jealous of on the new MY2019 is the central rev counter on the digital cockpit. But I’m working on that anyway.

All I can say is you have it (6 Speed) there is always going to be something different / better on a new car.
The 6 speed is fine can handle big power and is great fun to drive in all modes so just enjoy it and wave goodbye to the 7 speed boys.

Thanks guys yeah while you are right that there is always something new round the corner, I haven't even picked up my car yet then it's really on the cusp of the gearbox improvement so I guess that just makes it more apparent.
