MK3 Leon Cupra, what we know

[scrich7]

Yup no needles, just lit microdots.

Not noticed tbh, I filled mine up before I got low fuel warning, probably somewhere between half full and qtr empty. I've not driven it much over xmas period, and I only got it at the beginning of December so its only had about a tank of fuel through it so far.

Slacking.

The final dash goes red when you reach it.

Is there a fully manual gearbox option too.

Yes but not due till May/June

Sat nav is perfectly placed in my opinion having driven the 5-Door,SC and ST variants.


Alot better than the MK2 which you have to keep looking down at

I meant on the TT in the link, how its where the dials should be

 

[Rob66]

Look pretty much as suspected, not bad need to see one in the metal. But i do think it would look better with front fogs (would look even more like the FR of course)

 

[Bobanegra]

I really don't like those pictures from the front at ground level, SEAT used a similar angle for the Bocanegra when they launched it (see - http://www.100hdwallpapers.com/wallpapers/2560x1600/seat_ibiza_bocanegra-widescreen_wallpapers.jpg for what I mean) and it really undersells it IMO

View of the seats in the 360° presentation appear to show they are full backed seats, not separate headrests.

Where are you seeing this? I see the one on seat website and through the windows I can see the white stripe down the sides of the seats.

One of these was driving in front of me today in Milton Keynes. Looked the bullocks!

Cupra?!

Sure it wasn't an FR?

Random comment but is it just me or is the Cupra the only VAG car that has worse mpg and CO2 with the DSG than the manual equivalent. Everyone else gets better economy and emissions with DSG?

GTI is 139g with Manual and 149g with DSG.

However.... R is 165 manual and 159 dsg....

Unless it just had the full aero dynamic kit. It was an SC. It could of been, I've seen Jag F-Type's before they were released. Sometimes they release a few early to certain people

If you were to see one on the road early, Milton Keynes would be a safe bet given the VAG UK HQ, but would find it very unusual 3 months before release

That also makes sense. And 3 months does seem quite early but you never know. I'm sure it wasn't an FR, I see the. FR's everywhere so I'm quite familiar on how they look

Il go have a scoot round later see if I can spot it.. I spotted the MK2 LCR ages before it was meant to be in the UK.

Chances are though it wont be a Cupra.

good point, well made, I'd just been looking at the R's and must've been thinking of BMW's which are all more efficent with DSG though clearly arent part of the VAG group!

Good luck lol. It was grey

 

[Ryan20]

Am really disappointed by the car given how good the Mk7 GTi looks thought I'd be convinced by it but I'm not

My money will either be going on a used Mk6 R or Astra GTC VXR

 

[jc_boc]

Says in Syphons article they are ready to be ordered now already?! Do we even know what optional extras are available? They should have it on the configurator i reckon then if people can order them now already.

 

[AndrewJB]

Wasn't on the configurator today, Syphon was ordering one today I think so he might be able to tell you.
