CUPRA Raval Owner's Register - what model have you ordered/do you have?

I'm also having decision anxiety regarding the options. I'm like maybe I should add the sunroof after all, it probably looks a bit nicer and feels a bit more spacious inside(!) but then the critical side in me goes googling "how much added heat does sunroof add" and I also see people from the cold regions saying you can also feel like a chilly breeze coming through in very cold weather (let's say -15C or so or colder so not a factor in the UK ) and why add it when it kinda negates all these interior lights popping off. Also I'm like what if the Rebel rims doesn't fit at all with the Fiord Blue paint?

I was also not initially set on the Matrix LEDs for a 900€ extra but then I saw there's a Rebel Pack only available if you pick VZ model that adds Matrix LEDs, the advanced interior lighting, lumbar support adjustment and electronically adjusted front seats with memory function for 1300€ but as I was always set on picking the Light & Sound pack as well for 950€ but when you pick Rebel pack that becomes a 410€ extra only for the upgraded sound system as the other pack also has the lighting stuff so then I calculated as I want all these options anyway you could see it as getting Maxtrix LEDs for only 760€ extra plus the electronic adjusted seats, lumbar support & memory seat on top of that so then I'm like, okay maybe it's worth it if Matrix LEDs standalone would be 900€.

I wish all manufacturers did like Mazda 6e, include everything and it's just matter of picking the color and more fancy upholstery for a bit extra, would make it so much easier for someone with a serious decision/purchase making anxiety.

Renault also build their cars to a standard spec - very few options to choose, leaving pretty much just the paint colour to pick.

When car manufacturers build their cars to a standard spec, it must also eliminate elements of complexity from the supply chain and the actual car assembly process on the factory production line. More streamlined processes should also reduce lead times and speed up delivery of vehicles to dealerships and customers.

The potential downside of standard spec / no option cars for some potential buyers is they may spend more that they originally planned to by going for the highest trim level to get certain ‘must have’ features (e.g. heated seats, upgraded sound system) that aren’t part of the spec on the lower trim levels.

Just placed an order for a Raval VZ Extreme in plasma with the panroof. We almost went with magnetic tech but there was a V2 LE there in plasma and it looked great.

I've been watching You tube videos for the last few months and finally got to test drive one this week. Its a great car, and in VZ extreme spec, it's very well kitted out for a "small car". I say small but in all honesty it doesnt feel it and it is to be a second car to our 2016 RSQ3, so very different!

Its not my first Cupra as I did own one of the original LCR's back in the mid 00's and I have fond memories of that car and the BTCC events we all used to go to as a group.

So the wait begins until maybe December sometime, we'll see

Thanks for sharing. I'm still not sure I made the best call

Depends if you want the drive pack as that comes with the Launch Edition but an option on the VZ. Other than 15 ps and adaptive dampers makes the V2 LE look better value.

I have one for a week the week after next. As seriously considering one also Plasma or Magnetic Tech Grey - free metallic paint until end of August.
