Currently own Leon ST300 Cupra and I think it is the most fun car I have ever owned.
It is a 69 plate and was thinking of changing to a Cupra Leon ST310, and went to look at them.
The cabin controls are all now in the touch screen. Currently I can change, for example, the fan speed without taking eyes off the road. In new one you have to stop looking at the road, fiddle with the touch screen to find the fan options.
All cabin storage space bar a small glove box has been removed. Currently have storage on drivers side plus two under front seat storage bins.
The manual gear change on the Tiptronic gear lever has been removed. You can only use manual Tiptronic on the paddles. First and last time I used the paddles I was coming down a mountain road, the paddles are at 10 to 2, change gear, started the turn, wanted to change the gear and were the hell are the paddles? They move with the wheel. Tiptronic manual usage on the gear stick is so much easier.
Same 235/35/R19 wheels and this time without rim protector built into the tyres. The tyre sidewall is level with the rims. Those rims are going to last 5 minutes.
Looks like they have changed the satnav supplier and does not look as easy to read as current one.
Gutted and so dissapointed, Cupra has managed to turn a great car into something I wont be buying.
Now need to look for what I shall be buying.
