Cupra 280 - what options are worth it?

[3pointturn]

I suppose it depends on personal taste but are there any options that would be more worthwhile than others?

I specd an SC in Dynamic Grey with multi black alloys. I really like the look of the multi alloys compared to standard but it wouldn't bother me swapping that for something else. I don't want to go overboard on options but are there any which are a no-brainer?

I have monsoon grey, multispoke and seat sound and I'm more than happy with it. Don't particularly feel like I'm missing anything. Has so much as standard.

I'd really like to see the dynamic grey in person. Many people seem to rave about it but it's difficult to gauge from images online

There's plenty on autotrader.... See if any are close to where you live.

Easy:
1. DSG (when you can afford it)
2. New big Navi+ with Seat Sound System
3. Panoramic Sunroof
4. Winterpackage
5. Airbags backseats
6. leather seats (are stock electric now)
7 When delivered with Bridgestones swap them immediately with Michelin Super Sports (try to make a deal with your dealer).

Impressed with the multi-spokes? I really do like any images I've seen

Just had a look and found a dealer near me with one, cheers

Forgot to say I'd specd DSG too, for me I don't consider that as optional.
Not sure about the Navi high, be great to see/hear the difference though, also never really been bothered about a sunroof.
The winter package I have thought about but it seems not that important even in scotland.
Would residuals benefit from the options you've mentioned (ignoring dsg)?

Full link is a no brainer for £150.

Well 10 days in and I think the Pan roof is fantastic- it lets in so much light and also slides.

If I had a MY16 then Full Link would be an easy choice.

Can't comment on winter pack as not used yet!

Providing your phone is compatible! My G3 isn't so have bought an S5 now for an extra £200!

Yeah I love my multispoke alloys. Come with continental tyres which aren't half bad.

Would love the Panoramic roof in mine. I would also take a look at the bucket seats, sound upgrade and acc.

 

[Kurtje]

I've got in my ST:

DSG
Pana roof
Bucket seats
Sound system
Navi System +
ACC

Love all the options!

I suppose it's a case of horses for courses when it comes to options. My cupra St budget stretched to multispokes, dsg, seat sound, winter pack and dynamic grey. I would of probably included acc if I did plenty of mway miles.

 

[Major Tom]

Is 280 delivered with theft alarm as standard in the UK? Else I think that's a good investment.

 

[AndyGrey]

Must have option for me was - Bucket seats.

- side airbags in the back you don't see but when you love your family a no brainer
- Panoramic roof will 4sure have quite a residual extra value
- Navi+, sound system also
- leather seats also

I just took delivery of mines on friday

Its a 3 door Nevada white DSG, multispoke alloys with SEAT sound

White as i felt was best colour

DSG is FANTASTIC, im sure the manual has its perks but this engine linked to the DSG is just perfect, invisible and smooth in comfort mode (runs in 5th at 31 mph for efficiency) and seamless and snappy in sport/cupra mode

Wheels as i felt they would really set the car off, i actually think i like these more than the DSG, wow!

SEAT sound is great. Powerful sub and overall great performance

I felt the car already had a massive spec, so didnt go nuts with the options

These options only added 30 od quid onto the monthly price of the lease

Hope this helps

Base spec is great as already stated.

I just went with metallic paint, full link and Sub8 pack to keep the weight down for more race car..

 

[golf gti dude]

Wish I got the sub 8 pack
