Prague, CZE. There was quite a lot of orders on 290 for our country and it is behind UK, Germany, etc on the priority list unfortunately.
The upshift pops in cupra mode are absolutly insaaaaane !!!!!. I told my mate to give it a blast so I could stand outside and watch it launch off n hear the sound properly and let me tell ya I was veryyy shocked how loud it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... And it's arrived
Happy for you mate! What was your total wait time? You uk based?
Ordered 290 on Dec1 2015, supposed to have been mid march now its week 17but at least its confirmed. I have my mk3 1.8 so its not so bad but oh my god the wait...
I'm in the same boat.. UK Order: ordered mine Christmas Eve, was told delivery would be first 2 weeks of march in time for my birthday, week 9 then week 11 (NOW), who knows....
Seat cant give my dealer a date, I'm meant to be driving this to Austria April 1st.
fortunately my dealer is helpful, but autobahn driving won't be the same.
The frustration is real

'Only' the FR 1.4 ecoTsi DSG. Mediterranean blue, tech pack, winter pack, convenience pack.
The wait was a killer.
So far, it's fantastic. Build quality seems excellent, no rattles and interior easily matches my 2008 Audi. Great to be back in a petrol. Maybe a Cupra next time!
To the cupra owners. The dealer told me this car has auto wipers but when it rains they dont start automatically hmmmm. Is this with everyones or just mine
Saw this vid today and in their test 290 makes 0-62 in 5.2s , better than claimed 290 or 280. Could it be a little bit of extra HP and supposedly slightly improved power delivery? Obviously it doesnt seem to be GPS measured but still looks pretty quick.
