The “where the bleeding hell is my Cupra ST I ordered months ago” thread

S

Build date w/c 18/11. Wonder how long it takes to get to dealer.

so I just called Seat CS and they said factory is still closed and no confirmed BW yet,I’m expecting it to be around 7th Oct

You noticed much difference with the PS Vs contis?
I've not found the noise too bad on the contis so far.

They are still sat in my garage waiting to be fitted! Went on holiday last week so haven't had chance to get them fitted.

Ordered a Nevada White Cupra ST 300 Lux with pano roof from Leasing Options on 3rd September.

Been told late Nov/early Dec 2019 for delivery...watch this space I suppose! Hoping the backlog has been cleared a bit and my date is realistic!!

On a side note, the whole silent exhaust combined with the GPF / lack of res delete thing was a bit of a disappointment. I'm the sure the car will deliver otherwise though!

That being said, I found this vid and has gave me some hope...

Anyone who has got their MY19 / MY20 able to post a vid with exhaust noise? Inside or outside?

Cheers

Oh dear....that's deeply unimpressive.
I'm going to struggle with the complete lack of engine note coming from an Inline 6. Exhaust notes tend to be pretty contrived TBH to make up for lack of engine character.
Just hope the performance makes up for it!!

It's more than what I had expected...maybe more than older ST 300's with the centre resonator.

 

[Mikertroid]

Fair enough....

I guess my point is that it's the exhaust that's making a manufactured noise, rather than the raw engine note, like cars used to.

Will hang on to my old straight six (just can't beat the sound as she hits 6000rpm!) for a little longer but use her as a second car as she's got some miles on the clock!!

I've ordered a magnetic grey lux today, quoted 18 weeks by the dealer so I guess we'll see when it actually arrives

Seems about right if we actually get our cars

Ordered July 10th still no BW last update was Feb 2020 which is better than the prev update May 2020 ! Same car with Pano roof hatch

Just had an email confirming my build date is 7 Oct. prob about a month after that I’ll receive it.

When and what did you order before I go mad and ring them loool

 

[Betts-4]

So I called and I still have no update and possible Nov delivery

I can’t help but note the Cupra website has quad exhausts pictured on the 300 4drive.....

Not sure what site you're looking at. It has quad exhausts on the R model.

 

[Mikertroid]

Go onto the configurator and spec a mag grey 4drive lux. It seems to show 4 exhausts...

The image doesn't mean anything. The hatchback had bucket seats and panoramic roof for the MY19 model at one point.
The description under the diagram states she following the same as the hatchback.

Although seat are pretty crap at giving you what you expect so anything is possible.

 

[Mikertroid]

Two, four, exhausts-it doesn't matter! Two is more stealthy which is what I'm aiming for.

They are definitely understated, which is a good thing. Other than the other exhaust and bigger wheels a Cupra pretty much looks the same as the rest of them but goes a hell of a lot quicker.

MY19 with GPF and no res delete. 3.5k miles on the clock so far and it's starting to open up.
Apologies for for the complete lack of videography skills!
