There was a Desire Red Cupra parked next to mine when I collected it from the dealers.
I'd considered it when I ordered but was glad I got the grey. Something about the red to my eyes doesn't suit the shape of the Leon.
I'll add that red has been my 'go to' colour for many years including my first ever Seat (97 Ibiza Gti), a Nissan 200sx and more recently a Golf Gtd.

Agree with you on these two colours in the sun - they're gorgeous. Pity we don't get more of the stuff in the UK but knowing how much we all love our cars on here, I'm sure they'll be sparkling every time the sun makes an appearance

Mine is averaging a calculated 33mpg from new, which I think is great as I do use it properly.
Get it on a motorway though, 75mph on cruise averages 38mpg. Very impressive imo.
Could be a mix of the 4drive and low mileage? I guess everything will loosen up as the miles add up

I have 8k on my 4drive now. My average from new is 33mpg. I get approx 36-38mpg on my 25 mile commute at 55mph.
It's hard to say 100% without knowing your driving profile, mine never really does town work, but likewise never motorway.. it's lives on B roads but then it gets used properly!
In comparison to other stuff I've owned with the same profile this Cupra is very very good on fuel.
The 4drive will 100% not help though, you're carrying substantially more weight and drag, my mates has a Golf R and his average is 27/28 and his driving is pretty much identical to mine. ~5mpg difference sounds about right to me.
my two long journeys so far in the car have been on the A303 which is constantly up and down hills which wont help.
I have seens 36 in eco mode on b roads doing circa 60mph for a 40 mile journey.
Could be the fact its DSG also mine is manual so not sure if that will make the difference. But over all really impressed with the performance and comfort when taking it steady.
First time I had her indoors in it though she threatened to catch the bus home only gave it a quick 10sec burst in cupra mode and she was screaming Lol
