Any more of you readers expecting cars before Xmas? Or got any Questions on your Cupra Leon ?
I've requested myself to push back my delivery to late Feb/early March as I want to get another NCB to have cheaper insurance (Life of a young driver :( )

While I don't mind waiting, I am a tad jealous seeing everyone receiving their Cupras in the past few weeks haha

I Know its kind of hard seeing people get their cars and some not, but the time waiting (almost over 3month) for my PHEV it gave me loads of time to brush up on all the techno stuff within the infotainment hope you hear sometime soon on a update.

Wow congrats the only ship i know is Aqueous Ace as mentioned earlier, hopefully they can get a few more pushed out to you guys, im still not seeing any Cupra Leons on the Road,(My poor little car is on its lonesome), i did see a Kia EV6 on the road last night so some cars are getting through especially with this semiconductor shortages we are facing.

Been a long time waiting! And after many set backs it seems it’s finally in its way! I Havnt seen one cupra leon on the road where I am. I have seen several brand new cars on my estate recently so it does seem like they’re all filtering through now

Haha I’m used to that. I had a Nissan 370Z Nismo and that was a stunning car to look at. Never seen another one where I live. It was a real head turner. I imagine the Cupra leon would have quite a similar effect

Yep the exhaust and looks would speak for themselves, i had a Kia Optima in blacked out windows and red calipers gloss black Paramaniac Sunroof is the only nearest thing ive come to that experience, but its special least you can say youve had that experience.

I've just cancelled my VZ3 from Leasing Options. Ordered in May and still no assigned build date. Potentially could arrive at year end but the lack of information made it impossible for me to carry on while I'm stuck with my current lease car which is non ULEZ compliant and I live in the ULEZ..... It is Graphene Grey with M Pack on it. Could be an option if anyone wanted one where a lot of the lead time had already been done. Leasing Options were very good about the cancellation (way easier than I thought it would be).

Well this week i feel almost like some form of Royalist that has visited the region, any notice these cars are head turners?
A lot of folk have been quietly admiring!
Heard from a family member who bumped into someone on a night out and one of the things they mentioned was how good my new car looked!

See a few heads turning when in traffic too

I think my battery is leaking😅 only got 8 miles today Mrs was driving and she like her heating thou.
I leave the street and the battery has already went down 5%!

Sometimes it won't even let me select all-electric mode, I think the battery might need warmed up first, which to be fair, if it's plugged in I'll turn the heating on using the app to do that.

As on taking a little time to start but apart from that only thing I cant get to work is the door unlock issue
You have to get yourself verified at a CUPRA dealer before you can use remote locking with the CUPRA Connect app, strangely

My local one is a 2 minute drive away so I'll do it soon

Yes mate for myself there's 2 things im doing , making sure when at night when the lights are full on, heating to full blast, Heating wheel all on and Demister to defrost, its gonna suck the life out of that battery. So I have started to force the Engine on, you do that by going to the pic of the car/battery manager and then selecting Hybrid pressing the Force of engine option in top right. As we get into summer its a whole new ballgame but winter can take as much as 50% off the battery alone.

Yes irfy it's a bit up and down at the moment I utilize the engine over battery to return a nice acceleration so my mpg is down a bit but tend to hybrid up for main roads and then dedicate battery for the back and start stop traffic. Looking forward to driving in the summer.
