It seems like the docks in the UK can't handle what they have, so not sure sending extra ships will help much? Nicer to in stuck in Barcelona than Grimsby anyway?!

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Also a doubt on build quality with how quick they have been knocked out and then sat at port ceasing up
They never said funnily enough!!!Did they confirm it was build week 48 this year or 2020!?
I have a confimed build week that week, but they said delivery wouldnt be until january.
well the fact I should be receiving it in just over a months time, and it's not even been built yet doesn't give me much hope :')
they won’t be registered until the day before delivery/collection and it would take about a week for gov.uk to update that
That's good to hear! I still can't get over what a car you get for your £
Update. SEAT are honouring the monthlies. Should have it by the end of next week. Far longer than I wanted but I’ve been reassured.
better late than never
Seemingly can be day before delivery. I was told insurance company won’t be able to search via reg no so have to be told model etc.
My cars reg didn't appear on the vehicle enquiry site until the day before delivery, and I got the v5c the day after delivery.
Having had the car for a few days now, first the negatives. Mine was delivered with a scuffed bonnet and so I'm waiting for that to be dealt with (the dealer is being responsive, they're arranging a local bodyshop to address it), and if you catch the gearbox "off guard" I find the power isn't maybe as immediate as I'd like. However the ride is better than I expected, the bucket seats are comfy, Android Auto works well as does adaptive cruise control. The head lights seem pretty decent and an unexpected feature is the start stop will start the engine when it detects movement in front, which caught me by surprise the first time! Cupra modes ride isn't as firm as I expected. I've not yet checked if it's got the KESSY that deactivates the key if it doesn't detect movement, that Skoda are advertising on their site. Mine had 5 miles on it and a full tank of fuel, which is the lowest mileage and most fuel I've had in a new car, which was a nice surprise.
I'm very pleased with the car, mine came with Continental Sport Contact tyres and I've had no traction issues (ST so 4drive) even with wet roads, and unsurprisingly no real torque steer on the 4drive version. I'm still having to catch myself not accelerating for too long whilst overtaking.
And, if you want to check the odometer (beyond checking it when turning the car on/off) you have to turn the cruise control off fully (push the stalk all the way back) for the odo to be displayed on the digital dash.
