Hooray finally have my collection dat of March 8th for my cupra st lux. Build week is end of this month with shipping 3-4 weeks after this.

On a separate note has anyone handed a vw group car back on lease and been charged for damages diamond cuts? If so how much was it per wheel.

I'll be sending my current car back soon when the Cupra arrives - I found this online, not sure if its completely transparent but seems fair to me (for cars provided by Arval)

I'd have lost all patience by now, they've had it over a month lol!

The way things are going I should have it in the next couple of weeks.

I arranged for BCA to inspect my 280 on the 27th of Dec with collection on the 2nd of Jan. Strangely they changed the dates to the 7th and 8th without my authorization.

VWFS sorted and arranged for me to drop the 280 with the dealership on the 27th as originally planned and I've been in a courtesy car since. The sales manager said the paperwork was done and they were just waiting on the BCA collection and then PDI.

Can't see it dragging on too much longer, and if it does at least I don't have anymore payments to make.

My current gtd is through vwfs I’m just debabting if I need to get two damages wheels done. If it’s anything like this arval one it’s cheaper to let them charge me then to refurb.

The dealer has confirmed that my colour has been changed to Desire Red!! Now just gotta wait a couple of months!! Lol

Still not seen any reviews of the new model.
Not seen any drive by videos either.

When I visited mine on the 27th I got to rev it again and was pleasantly surprised at how much sound it was making.

I'm at 800 miles now and the exhaust has a bit more grunt and has a nice deep tone when squeezing the accelerator. When the exhaust is nice and hot and in dsg mode it's pops and bangs mutedly on the downchanges. I'm still thinking about a res delete just to push it into being a bit more noisy.

Cheers for the update. Do you still have the soundacktor turned down?

I turned it back on, I ended up missing it as it sounded so genuine. People in the car couldn't belive it was piped in when I told them. After watching video's online it's exactly the same soundtrack as the golf r.

Is it really the same? If so it shouldn't sound natural at all as the Golf R tries to recreate the sound of a 5-cylinder engine.
During the test-drive I did in a 300 the sound was very different from a Golf R.

I'm picking up mine tomorrow, so I'll confirm then.

Sounds the same to me, it sounds a bit exaggerated but people didn't realise until I told them. The 290 may be different from the older 300. Let us know what you think.

What does it sound like on the upshift? How loud are the dsg farts/bangs when you give it some?

I've not heard any dsg farts to be honest. Don't know what it's like outside though but there not loud enough to be heard inside. Just pops and crackles on downshift/overrun.

Sounds like I’ll be doing a res delete when I take delivery of mine. I want to be able to hear the dsg farts!

BW48 should have reached the supplying dealer before Christmas

 

[Ben Snape]

I don’t think mine has received it yet I’ll soon find out I’ll give him a call soon thanks for the reply

This is why I queried it with the dealer! Literally was on the previous month price/spec list. Only way to find out now for sure is when I take delivery By the sounds of it you’ve answered the question for me before then.

Thanks to this thread, I decided to check on my order placed in October. I placed an order for a ST 300 4Drive, as stated before, I was told the winter pack was standard which included heated seats. I checked today and on the original order at the time in October the Winter pack was standard but since has changed and I won’t be getting in this current order. If I want heated seats I will have to change my order to a Lux and pay £25 extra per month. My lease was 6+35 £299 now it will cost me £324 per month.
Do I change the order?
Do I look for another vehicle altogether?
There aren’t too many good leasing deals out there at the moment.
