New user, ordered 2nd Feb 2018 a Cupra 300 5dr in Mystery Blue and Winter pack. Expected delivery to dealer is 25th June (over 20 weeks)

I originally ordered in solid blue and then realised looking at other forum members pics that Mystery Blue is much better!

Agreed, solid blue looks awful imho. Welcome to the long wait!!!! It will be worth it though.

You won't regret for your order.I have it since end of July and every mile in that car is simply fun.When you are not in mood to drive it faster just put in comfort mode and enjoy,but almost all the time I drive it in sport and cupra.Just waiting engine to warm up till temp 100 degrees and have go on.
Now its in garage packed waiting for snow to melt :) didnt put clear bra protection on front,it would destroy the paint cause in my country they throw sand on the roads when winter,they dont use salt or something else.

I've currently got a 5 door 290, due to go back in July after a 2 year lease. Paid 2400 deposit and 168 a month with 5k miles. Only done 4k up to now... Anyway I contacted seat finance about keeping it for another year, and after two weeks (they said it would be five days) they've told me today they want 280 a month for the last 12 months.

I realise they obviously want to move the car on now instead of it being 3 years old but they could have told me that 2 weeks ago...

Just about to finalise on a 300 st (got a new addition to the family since I agreed last lease) from lookers in Stockport for 279 a month. Going to pay up front for the seat sound system because the stock one is pants (to me).

Two things: need to get the miles up to 10k before I give it back, and whether to get silver or grey in the the ST? Not seen a silver cupra in the flesh, and everyone seems to be ordering grey cars at the minute. My 290 is red (was the standard option) and I thought I'd hate it but I quite like it now.

I've ordered a silver and should have it start of March, I'll post some pics when it arrives. Should be able to change order fairly easy if you change your mind anyway.

Yeah I'm thinking silver. Looks great in the pics. But I though the blue looked great in the pics until I saw it in the show room.

Did you know you wanted silver or was there another colour you weren't sure about? It's funny I ordered my current car with no choice of colour, and I wished I had a choice. Now I have a choice I don't know what to pick!

Silver looks great in the flesh especially with contrast between that and the blacks. Really shows of the lines and hides marks pretty well.

The only reason I didn't choose silver this time is because I had a MK2 FR in silver a few years back, and I wanted something different.

I actually really liked the blue but I'm not the best at keeping it clean due to the mileage I do. Being a lease I also thought it may hide a few marks here and there on its return.

Think I'm sold on the silver. Will confirm tomorrow. Anyone comment on the seat sound system upgrade?

Good choice!
I've actually chosen white :) but for similar reasons i.e contrast and never had white before.


I have a 280 with the standard sound system and although it's pretty decent with its 8 speakers I find it lacking whilst playing bassy tracks.

I've heard positive reviews about Seat sound and it does add extra speakers, sub and space saver.

It's a shame we don't get beats over here yet. I'm sure they'll announce as soon as my car arrives :)

I've ordered seat sound this time round solely based on not having it now.

If you like your music, I've been told it's a no brainer (if it's within budget)

I have SEAT Sound in my current Leon and have ordered it for my new Cupra also. I wouldn't be without it. It's not really bass heavy but it's a definite upgrade over the standard system. For the money it's a no brainer especially as you get the space saver spare with it also.

I'm outside of Liverpool so I'm prob about 40 mins from Warrington. Cheers for the offer, let me know exactly what day it is closer to the time. Good choice by the way, the 5 door is the pick of the range in my opinion. Hoping the ST will be close...

Funny as I actually prefer the look of the st but we already have an estate. Will do in a few weeks hopefully.
