Those upgraded their 184 FR TDI to a Cupra....
- Thread starter jpor
- Start date
Haha yeah I "don't pay tax" on my FR, even though it's only £30 anyway but as we all know, it's factored into the cost much like me "not paying servicing" haha
Yikes! Good to know. The £140 thereafter ain't bad. I'm paying £185 a year on a 2 litre MX-5
with less power.Thanks for the responses. Very helpful.
Which options did people go for on their Cupra 300?
On my 184 I have the following;
- Tech Pack
- Winter Pack
- Convenience Pack.
- LED interior Lights.
Did want DCC, Sunroof and SEAT SOUND. But at the time there was a car available which meant it had everything but the formentioned. And got a good deal etc...

You'll probably get an easy 40-45mpg from the Cupra on the motorway. Definitely more smiles per gallon too!
My experience of cupra is 30-35mpg mway cruising between 75-80. I can hit 40+ mpg when keeping at a steady 50. I often do Lancaster to Preston on the a6 which is a mix of 50/40 with only a couple of lights to stop the car which is where I hit 40+ mpg in my 280 St. Impressive for a petrol car with decent power .

Come to think of it, most of my recent motorway miles have been in the dreaded average speed camera zones! :-/
I'm shocked and disappointed to hear that anyone has a bad word to say about my favourite car.
I like the Ibiza...in fact so far it doesn't rattle, same can't be said of Leons
Got my Cupra 300 (from FR 150) on Friday so still early days but will be doing 75 miles per day from now on. It'll be mainly A roads and motorways but I'll let you know in the next couple of weeks of the average MPG. I'm guessing it'll be no where near the 55-60MPG on the FR but hey, I didn't buy a Cupra to be light footed!
On extras, I stuck to the basics as I intend to change to another Cupra in September/October and the dealer advised me not to add any bits as I'd lose more than just depreciation.
On insurance, my premium stayed the same with Direct Line, which was a surprise, but probably due to only having 2 months left to renewal and they want me to stay with them.
Hope that helps but in summary, go for the Cupra - you only live once and it'll put a huge smile on your face!

Thanks Brandon. Be interesting to see what you do get. And how often you're visiting the petrol station
