Didn't even realize that they offered those when I looked at the 140.

They said accompanied test drive only to me
I'm sure i read the email for your post and thought you said orange st4drive cuppa and began to work on what can only be described as a masterpiece.
I did have to edit it! You are right the original post had been autocorrected!

Would be grateful for views on the following:
- I ordered an ST DSG (no options) in May, am being told Jan 19 delivery but no build date. Seems about right from what I've read, but...
- From what I've read elsewhere, build dates are given a minimum 31 weeks in advance....is that the case? That would mean March at the earliest for delivery.
- what is the difference between 18 and 19 plate cars? I gather the ST won't get a power reduction.
- The 7.5 Golf R is now being offered with the 300ps engine. Surely that means that spec engine has been through WLTR? Or does it not work like that?

31 week thing I don't think is right. Difference is you'll now have the winter pack FOC as it's standard now. I thought the same thing about the golf R power I have a feeling its down to VW wanting the cars to be on there own level rather than all having the same features.
Thanks. I hope the ST engine gets through in tact giving it the same power as the R.....until the mark 8 Golf R, which will probably only be a few months behind delivery of my car
I read somewhere it was to do with the 4 wheel drive. The 300 is ok in 4WD cars hence it being the only cupra to survive the 290 downgrade. Obviously all golf R's are 4 wheel drive so kinda makes sense. I think they must allow worse emissions due to its 4 wheel drive nature or indeed the extra weight.
I think that's likely to be 2020 if the MK8 Golf and new A3 land in the UK in 2019
Already had a go on a m140i auto for a day as was one of my options. Car drives superb, pulls amazing from low, really nice zf gearbox and I do like alot the interior even tho some people don't like it.
Not much feedback from the steering comparing to the Cupra. It's essential the differential imo.
Living in UK the m140 cannot be pushed as hard as the Cupra.
Seat customer services have confirmed to me my order is now the newer colour, so can only assume its genuine info as such, will wait and see if its just me/my order or others get similar calls....
Didn't really get to explore the steering on my test drive. The straight line speed and sound was impressive though.
Definitely a tough choice, but with the level of kit in the Cupra, strong performance and price. I hopefully won't regret it.
Anyone know if we should be receiving confirmation of MY19 spec in September or October?

I'm not sure if it has been added to since, or whether I just missed it the first time, but the announcement about MY19 colour changes that prompted this post on 7th July confirms that Eclipse Orange has been dropped from CUPRA and CUPRA Lux.
Yeah I read that a while back along with most of the helpful info you have posted since I joined. My order was for MY18 and accepted at factory 2nd May so assumed I'd still get the same car, hoping the silver lining is this means im soon to get a build date allocated!
Notice there's other on here who ordered through Nationwide? The rep is now actively offering me other deals, which isn't a good sign. It's been all fine in SEAT camp up until now.
The 140i shadow edition works out about £60 a month more. I'm tempted (as other obviously are). All things being equal though, I would prefer the Cupra. The 140i suffers from the same problem as the Golf R, they're 10 a penny and everyone knows what they are and what they can do. Cupra is VAG's dark secret.
It's a pretty sad state that there really is only VAG performance cars and the 140i that are in any sort of acceptable price bracket for leasing.

That's true, not a lot in the sub 5 sec bracket below 30k. I'm not really fussed about what others think cars can do, hearing a 3.0 straight 6 would satisfy me all day long...
