Build week for new Cupra 290's

[Chuggs1]

What's the classic car then Chuggs

Modern Classic..... Corrado VR6 - mine recently appeared in Modern Classics Magazine. Less that 57k on it and beautiful to drive and sounds amazing. Having to change as company is getting strict on teh car allowance policy - has to be under 7 years old - went for cupra as its the closest (front wheel drive) to the Corrado - although turbo as to my naturally aspirated - so should be a fun change

Lucky that you can get a Cupra through compliance!

VR6. Nice. I had a similar argument with my company. I had an S2000 but company said I need a 4 seat car. I argued that if I have a 4 seat car I will put 2 baby seats in the back thereby making it a 2 seat car in theory.

Didn't go down too well. They said it was unfair to others in the company!!!

Yeah I still have that discussion to come as mine is the sc model but to be fair it won't be an issue

So you think the Seat is better that the Golf R? Hope so as i made the choice of this over the golf R - i went manual though - just a bit old fashioned like that

I drove both the Leon and Golf R and really wanted to like the Golf as I'd wanted one ever since it got released. But to my surprise I preferred the drive of the Leon, and it's cheaper!

SEAT have stopped taking new Cupra orders from 19th Sept.. Going to keep my eye out for a pre reg, if not hold out for the new one, was half considering a GTI, was very impressed with SEAT Customer Service recently though so will probably remain with SEAT.

True lol

Haha that's why I went for monsoon grey - hides the dirt. I went for manual as I thought i might get fed up with the dsg fart every change. Plus it doesn't hold onto revs like a manual car

You lucky sob. I had an email yesterday saying there have been delays with " black cupras". I'm assuming they mean black edition cupras as black wasn't an option and I choose Monsoon grey.
I was quoted an unconfirmed build week 38 as well and have been told everything will be pushed back 3-4 weeks.

 

[Chuggs1]

Nooooo don't say that was looking forward to before Christmas

I hope so getting the car early would be nice but i wont hold my breath.

[Chuggs1]

Have you ordered through a main dealer? Get on to them and check what status you're at.

All cupra are now black edition ones.

Happy days! Car arrived at the dealership yesterday, should be prepped and with me by Tuesday/Wednesday couldn't be happier, as previously mentioned my build week was first week in September, so fantastic turn around from sitting in Spain at the factory to arriving in Fife in scotland!
