2015 Cupra ?

[jakesbrakes]

Has anyone heard that the 2015 Cupra's will finally be fitted with a 6 speed MANUAL GEAR BOX ?
Appears the 2015 VW Polo Gti will be so fitted.
If they can get it why cant we ? Or will we ?
Would make a difference to Our Cupra and the poor old SkodaFabia Vrs.
Been needed since its inception (In my opinion) Having had a Cupra 2011 and a Vrs.

I would love them to offer a TDi cupra like they used to.

The 2.0TDi CR 184ps motor from the Leon/golf would suit it well.

After the criticism they got for it in almost every review, I would be very surprised if they didn't offer manual in the next car.

Seems true:

No idea what Seat will do.

Well they already discontinued the Cupra a while back, and it's had it's facelift.

It'd be nice to see it back with a manual... but I can't see it happening (for the UK) in this model iteration

What do you mean they discontinued the Cupra? Mine is going in to production in a ween or two.

To me its one of the Cupras strongest points and one reason why I bought one. It makes the car very light.

How do you work that one out

Ibiza cupra DSG - kerb weight with driver 1259kg
Ibiza 2.0TDi with 6 speed gearbox - kerb weight with driver 1245kg

In the UK it's no longer available

are they still sticking with the twin charger 1.4 180bhp engine? I've never owned one but they seem very troublesome especially oil consumption issues. Stories of folk getting a replacement engine under warranty and the new one being just as bad.

No plans for the 1.8 180bhp engine in the Ibiza/Polo/Fabia platform?

 

[WaspyJoe]

If the polo Gti does, the Ibiza cupra and Fabia VRs will. Identical cars with different styling and price. And therefore different target markets. If one suddenly gains a huge advantage (like a manual box) it will mess up the market dynamic.

All three will get it, is my prediction.

They stopped taking orders for them a few weeks ago iirc, not sure what the official line on it is. Pretty sure you can't order the GTi either, VRs can be still be ordered however.

Chances are all 3 will be 'relaunched' with the manual box and the DSG will be optional, possibly with the 1.8tsi too. Price points will be interesting as usually the DSG is a reasonably expensive option so it could bump the list price of the Cupra down and make it a bargain!

Oh thats nice. And I thought that Ibiza would be all right for a year or two.

Its not true, spoke to Seat UK just and they are still taking orders. There is no mention of it being discontinued.

 

[WaspyJoe]

Well, a dealer sat and talked me through ordering one. If was a terrible deal, so I didn't buy. But I would be surprised if he took that time and they were discontinued...

 

[T108]

No metion at my dealer 2 weeks ago of it being discontiuned, again was talked though options and factory lead times, i didn't buy one though as they had a very low milage 11plate Boc for like half the price!

It's my mistake - not discontinued. I checked yesterday, I think it all stemmed from it falling off the configurator a few months ago

You rumour spreading person you

 

[m0rk]

Funny thing is that it's back on there now!

Seriously discounted already, so run out for sure.

lol that's quite funny, Seat UK must have been trawling this thread
