MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[GordonMcC]

Spoken to Nationwide and they are standard spec. i.e. no winter pack, KESSY, ACC

No point in me cancelling my order so I'll just have to live with cold seats!

i'll be annoyed as the winter pack is stated on the list as is black leather

EDIT: just noticed they now no longer state Winter pack, when I ordered last week the Winter pack and Black Leather were stated on the list! maybe the ones left do not have these options?

I thin you should find the leather seats are heated anyway... On the old system, when you put the leather seats on the car as an upgrade you couldn't do this without the winter pack, as the leather/winter was a package.. The winter pack was available without the leather, but the leather wasn't available without the winter pack..

yeah I have just checked my order and it clearly states Black Leather with white stitching. but on the web page to check the deals that is no longer the case

I've lost the posts in this thread. What insurance companies have people had joy with on the new 290s? Hastings are a waste of space.. No idea why a reduction of 10PS is causing so many problems

the ST 4drives are higher spec (pretty much Lux without the leather or copper), but by the look of it the 5doors are standard..

They told me the 4drives were standard base spec.
The website says they have KESSY, ACC, and winter pack but it's wrong. That's what they told me anyway.

FLuxDirect, you should be able to get a quote from them, albeit for around 3 grand!!!

waiving the cooling off period? that's different from the person spoke with

I know.. almost sounds like talking to Seat.. everyone you speak to says something different

If they sell it to you based on the website that clearly states all those options, they legally have to provide you with those options.

When you do an enquiry on their site, you have to click the box saying you agree to the spec and the price on that page.. and so do they.

a lo

seen them already £1533

a lot of people seem to be able to insure it as a 300 model and the insurer puts a note on the policy stating 290

Is it possible to assign different interior colours to the modes like you could on the 290’s? I can only find changing multiple colours but for all modes. I used to only have it red on Cupra so I knew I was in attack mode!

You can’t do what you want.

You can change the ambient door lighting between different colours (and using OBDeleven) you can code colours you want. However it is not possible to code the lighting to change dependant in mode.

suggested that to hastings.. wouldn't do it. "its not on the database sir"

I'm looking at lease deals on the 4drive, from reading the post on here I'm going to wait until everyone's systems have caught up with the changes, sounds like a right arse ache!

Although saying that, if I order one now I should be in one by xmas.... 2020

who knows! it may even get the 2.0 TSI 190 engine!!

I placed my order 3weeks ago haven’t heard a pip since no confirmation nothing all I could know I be getting a Dacia sandero delivered in February

 

[Copra68]

Hopefully by the time mine arrives in the UK in December the cars are showing on insurance databases. This sounds as much of a fiasco as the whole wltp, stopping production then changing all the specs carry on.

good luck getting it insured

I've gone with AXA, they insured it as a 300 but added a note to the policy saying it is actually a 290. Rang up a few times before i took the insurance out just to double check and every time they was more than happy to do so.

 

[willda_beast]

Try aviva, they sorted me out for the correct model and for £342 with £150 total excess, spoke to someone as the interweb still doesn’t show the 290

Just rang them (bloody hour on phone). Don't have the 290, only 300. Talks to underwriters ok will do it as a 290 black. £880!!!! Never paid anything like that in my life. For perspective 33 years young 15 years driving, 10yrs no claims & a 300 quote is coming up at £360

 

[bluehandle]

300 quote is coming up at £360

If insurers are basing the quotes on the old 290 then that why these premiums are high. The 300 was much lower mostly because of the Front Assist feature.

The new 290's also come with this feature so the premiums should be more inline with the 300 than the old 290.

Explaining that to the call centre when you call up will be a waste of time, but worth noting.
