My VZ1 5DR 245hp TSi arrived this week, in the Bright Silver, to replace a MK3 295hp Seat Leon Cupra lux, which I have loved owning (or more correctly leasing) for 3.5y. Initially quite surprised about the power drop off for the 50hp difference, has really lost that "throw you back in your seat" feel - although, might get better when the engine has seen a few more miles on it....and if it doesn't might look at a chip.
Was ordered in Jan and was with the dealer in mid July which was 6 weeks earlier than the original estimate so was pleased with that.
First impressions are that the interior is a definate improvement, although the cloth seats aren't as good looking as the full leather ones I had in the previous one. Handling and ride are improved which I didn't expect - although the increase in comfort may be down to the slightly smaller wheels (18" v 19").
Still getting to know the infotainment system, but having issues with the Cupra Connect App recognizing me as the Primary user, even though i have gone through the process in the vehicle will have to try again with both keys I think.
My kids will be pleased they have a bit more room in the back, and Seat/Cupra also seem to have slightly enlarged the boot opening which makes getting the golf clubs in a bit easier.
