I think our Cupra hatches with 20 plates are going to be a good bet for value in a few years

I think they have nearly all the equipment of the new one and none of the ugly traits

very few will have the plate so maybe it’s a silver lining
Downside is there is a ton of them due to cheap leasing. So many ordered in the last 6 months it's unreal. They'll all be for sale in 2 years time.

For those who have recently received their new cupra do we have a definitive answer to run in

What do I need to do to run in the car in properly ?

also I just got a new Ateca and when I change the led lighting colour it changes the colour on the infotainment screen and dials other than the speedometer needle.

does the cupra do this ?

I.e if I have it set to blue the touch button for example ‘settings’which has like the lines around it showing it’s a button are blue on my Ateca and the central bit on the speedo for example which shows your speed or oil temp or w.e is surrounding in a rectangle box and this is blue.If I changed the leds to red these things also change and is brilliant.
The Leon also does that. Whatever colour you choose changes the accents of the UI on the media screen and the digital cockpit to coincide with the selected colour. Think this came in from Sept 2018 models onwards.

And with OBDEleven ( not sure about Carista) you can increase the number of ambient lighting colours shown from 8 to 30. Or if you wished you can change any of the colours already shown to a colour of your choice S long as you have the RGB code for it.

That’s the last of shares of Purple I’ve had to code for my wife’s Leon FR Black.

Exactly, just look online now how many 67 reg Cupra's are for sale, I'd reckon most are 2 year lease returns and in a couple of months will be loads of 18 reg on the market. SEAT Cupra just doesn't have the scene or following like Ford RS or even VW. A 20 plate Cupra might be the last but I doubt it'll hold any more value than any of the previous models, especially with the environmental scene changing with BEV cars.

I’m keeping mine for at least 5 yrs so will see as I have the factory extended warranty

tbh I’m going to enjoy it and worry about it when I need to sell if I need to

Seems like we've all been getting some new through! I sent a mail to talkto@seat. seeing mainly if i cant get any compo to offset the delay meaning i need to MOT and Service my current car before flogging it.

no compensation offered but confirmed that my car is also on the ship expected to arrive on the 13th Feb.... so the last estimate of 24th Feb isn't too far off for arrival to dealer. ~18 weeks total

I'm another from Notts - ive seen maybe 3 since i ordered (a R ST in all it's coppery goodness, a black 280 and only 1 copper badged 290), we'll be everywhere come March!

Today was the day... it’s been a long six months but what a fun car! Was having second thoughts about Magnetic Grey but it looks great. Standard model.

:thumbup:
How does the exhaust sound

looks lovely but wow 6 months for standard Jesus
