Cupra 300 General Discussion and Pics
- Thread starter dieselface
- Start date
I was at Geneva on Tuesday, had a good look over the blue Cupra ST they have at the show and to be honest was a bit disappointed. I think the front styling is a lot more fussy, and prefer the pre-facelift cupra look. I also think the alloys are too big and blingy. What's wrong with having some nice silver coloured 18 or 19's as an option, so that you don't have to have the bling. As you can tell, I prefer a more subtle look. The blue was a bit too bright, but that was under a lot of artificial lighting, so need to judge it outside. On a more positive note, I loved the alcantara bucket seats, and the additional alcantara trim on doors etc.
I also looked at the Octavia VRS facelift, which looks pretty terrible in photos, but actually better in the flesh and a bit more "classy" overall than the Cupra. I might look at one of these or a pre-facelift Cupra ST when we change our FR later this year.
The other VAG standout for me was the VW Arteon, hadn't heard of it before, but it's a lovely looking car, and rumoured to be coming with the 280bhp engine and 4WD.

I think the vid is interesting but one significant thing would be the fuel level. The 290 has 2 bars and the 300 is almost full. Petrol isn't quite 1kg per litre but this could still be a 30-40 kg difference.. Might go some way to distort the numbers.
Viral video of a rover making the run. Oil removed from engine. Water pored in instead, red lined in 2nd gear for 5 miles, no issues

Picked the car back up today after having its clean, polish and coating. Gallery and reader's ride thread coming soon. For now noticed the mats have a Cupra flag on. Not sure if these are new or came with pre-facelift.

Sounds like wheel spin to me! Seat themselves have already said the 4 drive st is the "slower" car,although from 0-100 kph it's the one to go for. All very capable cars.
do like these.
front end looks modern now and the interior looks better without the white stripe on the buckets and some sort of carbon fabric.
much better for non white cars as the white seat edging and door cards looks ok on a white car but I am not a huge fan of it. too fussy.
wheels look great. not as good as multi spokes but a LOT easier to clean ;-)
