Yeah, they're the same as in mine. Is there no winter pack option any more? I love mine, they are worth every penny.
Not that I can spot. My order is now placed so it's too late to worry - but I doubt I would have specced them.
Does look better with the climate control but like you I couldn't afford for the delay in the car being built.
My other car has now gone back so I am driving around in the family bus!
Looks ace. I didn't get to look in mine yesterday as it was locked
How's the interior quality? Seem well screwed together and solid?
Interior is very nice I just find the arm rest is slightly in the way when folder end up
I'd like to know a bit more about the drive profile option.
The FR is stiffer than the ordinary model anyway,so if the dp gives a stiffer yet setting and also a comfort setting about the same as a non FR then maybe worth having.
But I've read one road test that says it makes little difference so don't bother.
Any comments?

On the Leon it is simply a throttle, steering adjustment yet like you say on the Ibiza it appears to alter the actual suspension damping too which may offer best of both worlds handling wise.
Just read an Evo test of the Cupra which does seem positive - though I've read the other which is dismissive. The later one is on the evo uk site under /seat/ibiza-cupra Not sure if the FR is identical though. However I've taken the plunge and ordered my ST with it. My reading of the various bits and pieces is that the spring rate on the FR is probably the same as the Cupra and that normal has a damper rate 10% looser than the standard FR and sport 10% stiffer. Also it sounds like the steering power assistance is reduced in Sport. As my car is intended to fulfill two roles - practical load carrier and sporty fun car I'm hoping the two suspension settings will match those two roles. But I might well be disappointed. If I see lots of negative comments I might try to change the order.
