Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Just had it confirmed that my car is ready to be collected! Day off booked for Friday so that i can go pick it up
Is there anything particular that i need to make sure i have before driving off? Know what i will be like once i get the keys in my hand so just thought i would check if anyone had anything to look out for?
Collected on Friday with no issues at all, nightmare trying to keep it clean with the weather as it is but decided to give it a good clean sunday morning. Loving the colour when its all tidied up!
Car is a huge step up from my old 64 plate 184, driving wise best way i can compare it is that its just effortless in any gear and at any revs. Interior quality wise its a big step up too touch wood no rattles at all which i had from the off in the 184.
Still being fairly conservative with the revs in trying to keep it under 4k, easy enough in comfort mode but not when in Cupra or Sport as it just wants to keep pulling!

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you, had a Mk7 Golf GTD (184 BHp) and now a Cupra in transit, so it's going to be a sizable power bump.
Looking at your previous messages looks like you ordered from the same dealership and the week before me, so hoping mine will be delivered this week.
If thats the case then they were brilliant, couldnt do enough to help.
I know they are having a few issues with delivery times from Grimsby but hopefully shouldnt be much longer for you
Yeah, they have been really good, Steve the guy that's dealing with mine has been really helpful, emailing me progress etc. Sad part about it is I won't be putting the first hundred miles on it as it's getting delivered from Stockport to Newcastle Upon Tyne where I live, will probably be washing it straight away after that trip.
I'm getting weekly updates from gateway2lease update today is car will be with dealer end of feb thats a month sooner than the last email i had from them - ordered mine in december seems like seat are pulling their finger out!
Is yours lux or non-lux or with any options?
I ordered mine in December, but still showing dealer delivery in mid-march.
Non lux no options - im only going on the emails ive been sent - we will see if it actually happens or not annoying dont need it till april, but called VW finance about returning my current car early see what figures they can magic up!
Latest update from Nationwide is that my car should be arriving at the dealers today.
Now just got to wait until the 1st!
I'm also upgrading from a Mk7 GTD.

I'm the same as Kevlar, every 2 week update from Gateway2Lease & nothing has changed from delivery being expected with the dealership on 25/02. This will be my second car from starting driving, my 89bhp Polo (big upgrade I know) is going back mid-march cannot wait to get into the Cupra! Been driving a 150bhp Passat with work for the past 6 month but nothing compared to what the Cupra will produce!
That's quite some upgrade just take it steady out there my friend!
Car is now built, currently in transit to the port.
They said 6-7 weeks, sounds like others were much quicker at this point though. Gateway2Lease are saying 25/02 like @Jackosborne_ , I think that may be slightly optimistic...

I'm so close to ordering/buying mine..
Just waiting to get my BMW to get picked up by its new owner so i can secure the funding for the Copra...
I will be buying a pre-built car which can be delivered quickly, but i will take delivery in April when the snow is gone

Not yet, I wanted to wait until the day I got my own, that's just me...
Mid-June.
Although it's reasonably options heavy, before the decimated the choices, so probably a WLTP nightmare!
Thats fair enough.. I came from a 150 FR and the difference is unbelievable, I though my leon was quite nippy but the cupra is something else!
