I am very happy with my CUPRA Leon 245. Yes I’ve had a few software issues that have been dealt with by my dealer, but the car is great to drive and easy to live with. I would recommend making sure that the dealer applies all the software updates before you collect your car. I didn’t and am sure I wouldn’t have had any issues if I had.
I have the same model and the same age, mate, and I've not had a single issue with it. As I've said elsewhere, it's the best car I've owned, drives wonderfully and brings the boy racer out of me. People who have no problems have nothing to talk about, so these forums are generally about problems and fixes (not forgetting what mods have been carried out!). There is not a marque out there who doesn't have an owner who hasn't had one problem or other. If you have half as much fun as I've had, you'll be doing just fine!
Thanks for the above comments makes me feel satisfied with my choice of new to me car, the other thing I've picked up on is that it has Good Year Eagle F1 tyres fitted all round, looking on line I can't see any other Formentor VZ2 fitted with these tyres, all seem to be Bridgestone, any ideas?
Strangely all the wheel bolt plastic caps are missing and to date Motorpoint refuse to replace them, I'm told the car is sold as seen, mean or what?
The car has done 7k miles.

Mine had 18” rims fitted with Bridgestones on delivery however, I’ve upgraded to 19” CUPRA copper options , fitted with Goodyear Eagles and I much prefer them.
Yep, mine had Bridgestones and I'm pretty sure it's the common tyre across the range.
You're right about the dealer's attitude to replacing the bolt caps; it's petty, small minded and unprofessional and reflects a very poor level of customer service. Might be worth telling them that too.
The bolt caps are a pain on all VAG vehicles. My wife has an Arona and my two daughters have a Leon and and Ibiza. They’ve all lost caps at some point, but I have to say that Johnson’s in Preston gave me a few spares and I use a tiny drop of evostick (a very small drop) inside each cap to hold them in place. Not lost one since.
I love my VZ310, and it has been faultless. Proper piece of kit!
Don't worry to much. You only find problems on fora/social media. The people who love the car are not going to search online and post positive things about the car.

Yep, I bought a few spares, no noticeable difference. They were “just in case”, and I never lost any lol.
After 9 years of a Skoda Octavia vRS & my current Leon FR losing plastic bolt caps I've changed to chrome bolts that don't need caps & match the silver wheels.
