Me!We'll this time next week I will have finalised my spec and placed the order.
Thought it might be nice for cupra owners in waiting to let us know what they have ordered, maybe some pics when they arrive![]()
5 Door (Boo..., really want an SC but have kids)What options did you go for? Deciding on the colour has slowed the process a little for us....
Lucky! I still have over a month until I get mineDetails in sig. Should be with me next week as long as Eddie Stobart doesn't go on strike.

Wow, that's really quick! Or did you order a while ago? I wanted to test drive one before ordering so had to wait until a local dealer got one in. Don't think I'd fancy ordering any car blind, even with the positive reviews.Lucky! I still have over a month until I get mine![]()
I ordered on the 10th Feb... I asked for a test drive after I ordered to make sure I wasn't going to be disappointed when it turned up, but I'm a huge Leon fan and I know the new FR is nice, so I wasn't worried about ordering it early. Had the test drive last weekend and loved it so all is well. Mine was build week 11 (and I got an update saying it was in the factory being built on Thursday of week 11. For some reason it's taken longer than anticipated (no idea why yet) and it's still in the factory. Consequently, I've got to wait until late April to early May now (was expected mid April before that)Wow, that's really quick! Or did you order a while ago?

Not happy about the lead time, but it is a bit too early to be expecting dealer stock cars to be available. I'll just have to camp on here hoping you lot with early orders post lots of pics and info while (impatiently) waiting for ours to materialise.

I can only assume somebody dropped the engine on the chassis or something lol! As for your comment about lead times, this is not that bad tbh. If you ordered a BMW i3 or certain Audi models the lead times can be as bad as November/December (8 months - shocking).
Well, congratulations on the order and I am sure the Golf will be a great car to own.I was intending to order a Cupra 280 in black. Had it all specced up and ready to go. However, the local dealer said that demand was so high that he wasn't going to budge on price. I was also looking at a Golf R, S3 and M135i. In the end I've got a deposit down on a Golf R. £4K off list, so the difference between that and the Cupra was only £3K and the R is much better specced. I could have probably hunted for a better price on the Cupra, but this deal was one I couldn't pass on.
No brainer really. The Cupra's a great car and I'd be happy owning one, but I'm going back to VW. I traded my old Polo in for my current Ibiza FR ten years ago.
I think he's just repeating rumours he has heard, as far as I know (and that's not a lot in fairness) nobody knows anything about a Cupra R other than Seat themselves.Also the dealer stupidly confirming the rumours of a 300BHP 4WD Cupra R nailed the coffin shut for me as I want to wait and see what comes out further down the line.
