Red 265.
Interior, centre console.
That nice in red, so much better than the white we keep seeing.

Its grey actually, but if I had one particular negative its that the colour palette is very monochrome. Would be nice to see some more colours offered.
The red one is a 265.
Scott has taken lots of photos, I can assume he has taken more of the red one, but he's got limited access to wifi, so is sending what he has as and when. He'll have lots more to share over the coming days, he'll be flying back later on from Barca, then has to commute back home to Bristol. So bear with us.
They have a limited number of cars available for the assembled media, so he's obviously gone for what he could as soon as he could, and I'm sure to most people the 280 is the goto version, rather than the 265.

That's fine as I have just bought the Octy on PCP for 3 years so by the time I am ready to px i will be moving back to the fold I reckon and one of these with the bucket seats will be on order
All looks very nice
I want one! will have to be and am still happy with the 184 though
Out of those colors it would have to be red or grey for me really.
I agree that there should be a few lairy colors like yellow and green, and Alor blue looks nice, although I do like Subaru blue or maybe Blue from the Skyline R34

Looks better in grey than white , as I have already said seems to suit darker colours than lighter colours.
With the optional extras coming out would be better to hold off ordering one until options prices confirmed.
Buckets should have been standard IMHO it's what makes a car for me.

Cupra engine.
Unless that's strategic weight saving, that engine bay is missing a bit of trim...
Strange how water filler is on the other side?
Probably missing the vanity cover deliberately - same as the lack of paint on the SEAT cover too £££ saving in the extreme
Don't worry about the DSG pause. This happens because he is in S mode. It will only change up when it can register that the car has sufficient momentum to stop the car bogging down on the gear change. It will hold revs until the car gets going. It used to happen all the time in my old car before I found out what was happening.
If he was in manual mode you could change up straight away at the greater risk of bogging down. S mode is properly crap for launches and crap in general tbh, I never did see the point in it.

OK, I'm back. What a trip. What a car.
I'll leave you with a goodie and I'm off to bed. Full write up and pics etc over the next day or so.

That colour makes the car IMHO , I wonder of they are experimenting with different colours as wraps to see how they are perceived ?
Scott did you enjoy the dsg ?
Just one thing from that guys review in the orange Cupra , he says that then clutch and gearbox is too light ? But he's driving a dsg ????
Where there any manual cars at the day ?
