Thought I would do a little update after 3 weeks and have just hit 1000 miles on the car today! The car is an absolute dream to drive and still look forward to driving it every time!
I have had a few small niggles as mentioned on other threads such as the over sensitive voice control which I have turned off and just press the steering wheel button. I've also had a few instances when I've used the inbuilt sat nav when going past certain junctions it thinks I'm coming off even when I'm not and has read the speed limit coming off the junction. This has meant sometimes when using ACC it does start to slow down but it's quickly resolved by a quick press of the accelerator. Also my rear drivers side speaker distorts at certain frequencies, even when the volume is not even loud which is annoying and will probably take it in to get looked at some point. Have looked at alternatives myself to what I can upgrade it with, but after a few enquires no one knows the size

. But apart from that I'm pretty impressed with the standard system after a bit of EQing.
My average MPG over 1000 miles is 35.2- that's a mix of motorway and town driving. On a steady run I can easily get over 40+ MPG. Round town I see around 30 MPG and have had as low as 22 MPG in stop start town traffic. So I'm pretty happy with the overall efficiency.
The engine itself it brilliant, more than enough power for overtaking/having a bit of fun on a twisty road, don't have any regrets for not going for the 310 instead. It also has a nice exhaust not that you can hear within the car. Also in Cupra mode there is poping and banging which is nice. Also a positive over the 310 is that there is no fake engine sound in Cupra mode which I'm more than happy with! I was 50/50 between the 245/310 when ordering initially.
Handling is really good as well, the steering is light and really responsive, the car feels planted the car sticks to the road which is great as I also have a R56 Cooper S which steering is a lot heaver when going between the two and is like a little road legal go-kart

. I had to take the run-flats of the Mini as it just tramlined and bounced all over the road and stuck some Michelin PS4s on it- which transformed the ride. Traction is pretty good, I have had a few instances when pulling out quickly at junctions the wheels spin when the road is wet. But, the VAQ Diff is brilliant and quickly sorts it out and sends the power to the right wheel. The sensation was weird at first as if you accelerate and steer into a corner it feels like the car is pulling you round the corner.
Suspension is brilliant, I mostly leave it in comfort setting and on the motorway it's very comfortable and just flows with the road and can tell the difference between the different drive modes. The seats are also extremely comfortable and I'm glad that I have the cloth/pvc rather than the leather and have worn well up to now. The car just easily eats miles!
