My first Seat… Recently swapped vehicles (previous car GR86) to a Leon Cupra.. it seems the prices have gone up over last few years for this model!

Looked for a car with relatively low miles as standard as possible and ended up with a mid 2018 pre gpf 6 speed with Seat sound/winter pack in silver.. reading the forum it seems to the last of the older shape before the bronze badge version.

Had the front shocks replaced by the dealer before I bought it, and has a set of Vredestein all season tyres, dsg / haldex oil services done on time! Wheels would better for a refurb but look ok at 5ft..engine bay cleaned and ceramic coated to help my OCD 😂

Waiting for a delivery of a vgate ODB reader to delve into maintenance and coding and inevitable repairs.. need to update the infotainment software which looks like a tricky job.

Enjoying the torque and all weather ability so far, and the forum tips are excellent (today I found there is a heated mirror setting!!)

Cheers

Welcome to SCN, nice looking motor, like the engine cover and remember when the Cupra name was splashed over it. Not like the new CUPRA Leon with it's plain black offering.
