2.0 TSI 245 DSG engine

No I think its decent, and the copper stitching makes it look better quality. They are proper bucket seats and really comfortable. I'd rather these than full leather as they can get uncomfortable on really hot days.

That's good to hear. Pics would be appreciated if you get chance mate.

@Cookie76 how are you getting on with the car? any further impressions? Have you got any pictures of the rear at all?

 

[Cookie76]

Hey mate, genuinely, the more I drive it, the more I love it! Despite what I'd read the infotainment system works fine, and it just looks lovely. It's the first car where I've parked it and visibly noticed people checking my car out I'll take a photo from the rear, but the side profile is just amazing

Sounds great! I've just found out that now I have an unconfirmed build slot in week 50 Looks like at this rate I won't get it till next year unless it gets brought forward!

Sorry for the delay! Photo of the rear as promised

But think the side profile is the best

Thanks for that mate, looks great! Can't wait for mine to come now! What sort of MPG are you getting at the moment?

 

[Cookie76]

Looks great mate! Can't wait for mine to come now! What sort of MPG are you getting at the moment?

Just checked that, about 29mpg on average, did get to 32.9 on a long drive and keeping the revs low (most of the journey), so not horrific

Not too bad, I'm sure it'll get better when the engine runs in. I mostly do motorway miles so hoping for mid 30s

Yes I think that's what you'll be getting to be fair

I'm glad you're enjoying it It's not looking too good for orders at the moment, some people are getting provisional slots for next year now

 

[Cookie76]

Wow that's just crazy!! So relieved and lucky to get mine, all of a sudden my 4 month wait seems like a rapid turnaround!

Very nice @Cookie76 , are the exhaust tips black or is it just how they look in that picture?

Any chance of a picture of the seats? What adjustment do they have? Lumbar? Height on passenger side?

Thank you! I suspected the ones shown on the Cupra configurator were not correct, and I was right.

Those seats look basically the same as the VZ2 seats but with different covering (PVC/Cloth as opposed to leather). Exactly what I was hoping for.

The configurator shows V1 seats in the VZ1.

Yes they are still the bucket seats which is nice and they were really comfy when I sat in one at the dealer. I know that they have manual lumbar support and the usual manual adjustment. However not too sure about the passenger seat. The configurator isn't the best

That's great, thanks so much. Now I just need to wait for mine to arrive. I'm going to call Cupra tomorrow for an update - was told build week 42 a couple of weeks ago but from what I'm reading on here I expect that to have been pushed back.

No worries, glad to help! Mine was originally week 40, then moved to 38. However, when I checked yesterday with Cupra I've now been given a provisional slot in week 50. Hopefully it'll get brought forward, but it doesn't seem to promising at the moment

I've ordered: 2.0 TSI 245 VZ1, the only option I picked was the Magnetic Grey paint. Ordered from Leasing Options "pipeline stock" (whatever that means), signed the lease 11th June.

How about you? We might end up on the same boat... eventually!
