Hi there,

Two weeks ago I collected my 2019 Seat Leon Cupra 290 in Mystery Blue and I'm beyond impressed!

It has a real Jekyll and Hyde personality when switching between the driving modes. In comfort, it's soft and refined with the throttle response toned down and the suspension floating over our challenging British roads. Even with the 19-inch wheels I still have all of my teeth in place so that's a bonus! Then selecting Sport or Cupra the whole car becomes a monster, the throttle is alive and ready at the first opportunity to send you into hyperspace, it encourages you on demanding more and is totally infectious!

The satellite navigation card it came with was a V5 so I ordered the latest V16 off eBay not knowing what to expect, luckily it works perfectly and I'm enjoying the different views of the virtual cockpit integrating the map!

I'm very pleased to join the forum and look forward to sharing and learning with you all.

Happy driving!

Jake

Good stuff. Nice colour! The only thing I wish mine has is a virtual cockpit. Maybe on the next one. Thinking about any mods?

Thank you! Yeah it is a good feature I wasn't too sure about it to begin with as I like a clear, crisp analog display but it's a great bit of kit and easy to get used to. Have been thinking about the usual res delete but not sure as the car is on PCP finance! I like the idea of the paddle extenders too.

Ah, PCP. I wasn’t a fan of the paddle extensions. Got in the way when steering n using the stalks so had to remove em.
