Hi guys,
This thread is following on from my previous topic which you gave great feedback and responses to, as I believe it deserves separate focus https://forums.seatcupra.net/index....zing-and-i-have-some-questions-please.447084/
Basically today I went to look at a fully loaded Cupra ST 300 DSG6 2018 and apart from the frankly awful Beats sound system I was very impressed, it was a beautiful car with a nice interior. I then went to the dealers desk to talk over the fine details and during the conversation just happened to notice that some more Cupras were coming in over the next couple of weeks, one of which was a 2019 model. I then asked what the difference was between the 2018 and 2019 was (I could see him groaning inwardly that I had got distracted from the 2018 car that he undoubtedly wanted to shift asap) and he said it was basically a newer DSG7 gearbox, a new colour grey paintwork and a copper coloured SEAT badge on the front.
Clearly the badge and paintwork don't matter but what really does and that I need to give serious thought to is the potential upgrade to a DSG7 gearbox. The problem is, if I want to reserve the 2018 model then I need to commit to it early next week.
So, my questions are...
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

So, my questions are...
- What do you guys think the positive/negative impact of a DSG7 gearbox will be on performance and economy on an ST300?
- Do you think that an ST300 2019 represents a better buy than an ST300 2018 purely in terms of residuals (ie: anything significant)?
- Anyone know of any other differences I may have missed in terms of standard or non-standard kit between the older ST300 2018 and the new ST300 2019 model?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
