Yeah, sometimes when a lease company buys a lot of cars they have extras deleted to keep the costs down.

My 02 Cupra T has heated mirrors but they don't fold. My 54 Cupra R has heated and mirrors that fold.

Can't believe its not std on a Cupra (R/FR/etc) when it comes as standard on any Toledo SE (V5, TDI and 20v's) just doesn't make sense when the Cupras are the top of the range model! Love my foldy mirrors :p

BTW do Cupra's have cruise as standard as well cos the Leon TDI SE was swizzled by not having it as us Tolly owners have it as std :p

My 05 TDI 130 SE has cruise control.

se and cupra r leons have electric folding mirrors standard
cupra has electric adjustable but folding is optional so if uve seen folding on an s that must mean that it is optional on all leons
remember that se is top of the range leon cupra r is flagship so
the cupra is only gonna be 1 step up from s.
cupra is only for upgraded mechanical set up

this is soo confusing, it appears that seat just put them on some but then couldnt be borthered with the rest. Maybe it was time for a siesta!

Mine is a 53 plate cupra and has no folding mirrors but they are heated. My friends german spec LC has these allong with headlamp washers and part leather / alcantara seats. are these even a UK option??
