Newbie Cupra Lux owner in town

I'm impressed with the SEAT Sound option, don't the new cars have Beats now?

Only cars that were ordered with Seat Sound as an extra during the WLTP crossover. Seat Sound and Beats is no longer available on UK Leon Cupra’s.

Anyone who knows speakers will know that there not great in the cupra but if your not an expert in speakers then there fine, I've added a aftermarket vibe black air vented v12 1600w subwoofer to the original head unit because the bass wasn't good enough lol.
I have a mk3 cupra 290 2016 and I bought mine rather then lease because I have changed engine parts and had it tuned so rather then 290hp I have 370hp it's so much fun to drive lol if you know how to drive a cupra.

How did you manage to wire the Sub up to the standard system?

Hopefully we'll retain our level of choice.

From what I’ve read on the forums if the car and choices have been accepted by the factory you will get them (albeit Beats instead of Seat Sound).

Thanks guys, I'll let you know my thoughts. I am very excited I have to say. I've just sold my 2012 BMW M135i, it was starting to get expensive to run so I thought sod it, lease for me and it takes the worry out of a high performance car.

Hi Chris, the guy has text me today saying he'll be dropping the car off at my house tomorrow lunch time so sounds great. I used SelectCar leasing and so far they have been 10/10. They had very high reviews from trustpilot etc so I felt I was in good hands. I just saw that offer and though, sod it, I've been urming and erring for so long about a new bloody car and just went for it.

I'm going the other way - pickup a BMW M140i on Friday! An itch that needs scratching, but can see myself in a Cupra again sometime n the future.

The M140's are fantastic cars, no two ways about it. I am missing my M135i a little, it was a little bonkers and noticeably a different animal to my Cupra.

However, I'm enjoying the Cupra, it does everything well and exactly what it says on the tin etc but it does feel quite sluggish and tame compared to the Beamer. In fairness, I've only clocked over to 500 miles so far so haven't given it a proper chance yet. Do they feel different after a few thousand miles on the clock?

 

[trebor]

My Cupra felt more eager to rev after about 3000 miles were covered.
Now for a shameless plug - I have a set of Winter wheels/tyres for sale in the For Sale section.

Wire them into rear speakers, either splice the wire or redo the terminals and put them back together.

It's arrived! Nothing like that new car smell.

I've only driven a few miles so far, lots of driving coming up over the next week. Very impressed so far, the speakers are better than expected I think, looking forward to getting to know it.

Like the black, but don't think I could stand the copper bits, just not my thing. I like the smell of new money still in my pocket more, so will hold out to see if a Cupra branded version (maybe hybrid) comes along soon, and hope they do a SC as I don't really like 5 doors.

I would like a Mk4 Leon SC too but there's no chance. SEAT have already said that the three body styles will be a 5-door hatch, an ST and an Allroad-style cross over.

A sign of the times, I'm afraid. Very few companies are making mid-size 3-door hatchbacks.
