MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Tivver500]

That's good news if your car is built. Doesn't help if it isn't built though as the factory is still shut. New Leon available to order from 5th May so may not restart old Leon production.

New Leon order from May 5th.... but I'll bet you can't order a Cupra until much later in the year....

Most likely not, but they'll stop the MK3 Cupra when they stop the MK3 Leon. Doubt they'll build a MK3 chassis just for the Cupra.
You can no longer buy the Mk7.5 golf or MK3.5 Octavia from their respective factories. The Leon can't be far off.

Is it just me who really doesn't mind having a bit of extra noise? Yeah sure it's not 'real', but does it matter? Or perhaps this is just due to my other car being a straight 6 with a modded exhaust, even in Cupra mode the Leon sounds quiet to what I'm used to...

I just wanted to hear what my exhaust was doing or whether it’s the fake sound

Go in an underground carpark when you get chance and role your window down. It's not as quiet as people make out!

Yeah I agree.

My wife took the Cupa to do the food shop the other week and when she returned home I was listening through an open window, it sounded quite load to me, I was fairly suprised.

But then I heard an 2017 Cupra 300 go past my house

I have a video of mine completely stock. Ill see if i can upload it.

Here it is. I had only got abut 900 miles on it when I did this so was using about half-two thirds throttle and made sure to get the car rolling before putting any reall power down. That said, you get the idea of what it sounds like stock even though the phone microphone is useless.

My brother was filming, he is the one that drives the M140i with a modded exhaust and I quote "that is so F***king loud, WTF!" Also it makes a right racket when I start it up in the garage in the morning. #

Stock ST 4Drive exhaust sounds rubbish, at least from inside the car

 

[Denno]

Sounds almost silent to my ears!

It is pretty quiet, my brother was referring to the DSG farts. I’ve been waiting to hit 2k mild before I consider a res delete.

Nice to see you've actually been able to drive yours...... Mine has just rolled over the magic 1000 mile mark today (after being delivered on March 5th!!). And that's with a 300 mile round trip to Gatwick just after delivery.
Well chuffed with performance but it IS nice and quiet (certainly when compared to my de-catted TVR!!!) so is an excellent 'stealth machine'.....

Yep, that's loud enough for me. I'm keeping mine stock as I like how it sounds. Most people mod the exhaust cheaply which I'm not a fan of.

 

[Rowan83]

I wouldn't want mine to sound any louder than that TBH. Don't want to pi$$ the neighbours off as the houses on this estate are literally on top of each other. Lol.

Has anyone had any further update from orders through Zen?

Cheers, hopefully be an update soon then.

What does that even mean? Either the dealers are going to start delivering or not.

I assume the dealers are figuring out the logistics of delivering contact free etc? I don’t want mine till the end of the month anyway

 

[MrAdam]

So Did anyone "dynoed" cupra 2019?

 

[Denno]

Chased up my order with Zen today and they expect realistic delivery date of early June.
