Picked up my cupra st and im chuffed to bits with it :funk::funk::funk:

I went for dynamic grey with black multispokes and think it's looks pretty good. I've only done 50 miles in it and not really had chance to play with the seat sound system.

Bum warmers are really warm and good timing for the cooler nights, led lights are really good and interested to see how they perform in rain as other people seem to think they are pants.

The one thing that does bug me a little is the start stop kicking in, i cant seem to judge the pressure needed to not activate and cant find anywhere in the car set-up menu to disable it, only current status :confused: I also noticed the mirrors not autofolding when locking and selected in set-up menu... small worries and nothing to get upset about.

Im most impressed how the car drives. I've only used comfort setting up to now and love how the car glides along soaking up the bumps on 19" rims. And the dsg is a revelation to me always having manuals before. I switched to Cupra mode and laughed when i heard the sound :wtf:

The only thing missing so far is a boot liner for the boot. All in all a seemingly great car and looking forward to finding excuses to driving it ;)

You can switch off stop/start each time you start the car by pressing the button just next to the mode button.

If you want it off full time you need VCDS or someone with VCDS to do it for you.

Press and hold the lock button on the key fob for a couple of seconds. This will fold the mirrors. Enjoy!


This doesn't seem to work for me. I haven't looked in the menus to see if it's an option to enable yet. Is it default? I have a 65 plate 184 FR w/tech pack.

I picked up my Leon FR 1.4 yesterday, love it so much.

In my Leon you just hit the button beneath the LCD display and then it prompts you on the mini dial display that it's been disabled.

I have only once managed to manually fold the mirrors using the key, I think after more playing I'll find out the setting.

That's got to be the nicest ST I've seen so far. I've never been a fan of those alloys in the press photos, but they look awesome here and really suit the car.

MK plate I see. Did you order from the MK dealer?

MK is Manchester and Merseyside area code for registrations so I guess he got it from up there.

Nice car BTW. :funk:

Very nice cupra st, can imagine how happy you are that the waiting is finally over :D looking at the photos, it seems like the brembo discs are no longer perforated?
