Kind of gutted mines gonna take so long... I ordered in April exact same colour, but only been given a build week in June...did you use nationwide? When did you order? Bet you are buzzing about the delivery date being moved tho!

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Yeah Nationwide. Their timings seem odd, it may be worth giving them a call. It seems as though they got extra cars in early may that they didn't have before, and that's why some people have been given delivery dates in June. My original car was mystery blue with delivery being late July (estimated), but when I saw they had some in stock for June delivery I got them to change it to one of those in magnetic grey. I may now get the car before my original cars build date.
Saw my first 'Copra' other than mine in Northern Ireland! It was a Nevada White one.
Any other owners from NI on here?

I said don't brag!! Haha! Sounds awesome mate. Are you getting any decent sound when in full auto or just on "paddle-mode"?This car is brutal! Had over run and a few pops already!
Just “nipped” to the shop and had it in beast mode.
Pottered around with the wife and baby earlier and could only get mid 20’s for mpg
I’m not one bit bothered though

I found Cupra mode aggressive as hell on the test drive, bit too aggressive for tootling around town. What are your thoughts on that?
Beautiful car but the colour in the first two pictures looks almost like the Mediterranean blue to me
definitely looks better when it’s clearly grey! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It getting stolen is a major worry of mine I've got to admit. I live in an apartment which has a gated car park which are both to my benefit, but my space is literally in front of the gates so the first car you see. Never been a fan of a steering lock either and was always told they don't offer much security anyway, but I guess it's one extra deterrent so may well invest.
Always hated steering locks, the hassle etc. But videos like this and the current state of rising thefts made me think and give it a go.
I'll be going for one for sure. For the price, it makes total sense. There's nothing much else you can do to deter these scum bags. I guess if they want something so badly, they tend to get it anyway.
Only trouble there is, they were tooled up for keyless entry. And obviously needed a key for the steering lock. As in a few cases here recently, they've kicked the door in for the keys. So they'd have the steering lock key as well (assuming it's kept with the car keys).
You will never stop them kicking the door in for the keys. I've always said if they want it enough they will do whatever it takes to get the car.
In that case they can have the keys. It's not worth getting seriously injured or worse. Just have to hope in most cases it's too much of a deterrent and they walk away.
Hi
Just ordered a Cupra 290 on lease and told delivery date to dealers is 10th June can’t wait
I have the same concerns about theft as mine will be parked on front of a public road opposite the house. Can anyone recommend any good security cameras ? Everyone seems to be raving about smart wireless cams but if your internet goes down is my worry. Thinking of wired 1080p camera but heard to recognise faces need a 5mb camera
Appreciate any feedback
Also struggling to find any reviews of the 7 speed dsg 290 Cupra all the reviews seem to be a couple of years old on the 280. Looking to fill my time while waiting

Having these scum in your house looking for keys is vile, but having a young son makes it worse. It's always put me off a performance car for that reason. Nothing stops them in the end but you're right, if you put as many deterrents in their way, it might just put them off.

Who did you order through? Think i need to phone Nationwide..seems weird that everyone is ordering over a month later and getting delivery dates..
I used nationwide ordered last week, wanted desire red but last one had been sold, they managed to find some more and had Email stating will be at dealer on 10th june
With regards to theft its all about slowing them down. I have already ordered a blank keyfob to go near the door, which they will assume is the real key and I will pull the fuel pump fuse each night, its a 30 second job and you just plead ignorance or say its got a problem if they get shirty. I also have a GPS tracker for it and a security camera, LED motion lights and the house has 2 deadlocked doors before you can gain entry, which both have their individual key left in them overnight so they cant pick the lock from the outside.
It helps to be observant. There is no allocated parking in my close, so the car could belong to anyone there. Any unusual cars or people following me into the close will get death stares and ill wait to enter my house until after they have gone.

Manual when in Cupra mode and yeah you’re right that you can’t drive around town in Cupra mode. It’s way too aggressive

Get yourself to the National Meet at Donnington in July. You’ll see plenty there. MK1, MK2 and MK3.
