Thought it would be interesting to see what mode people drive their Cupras (or other Leons) in and what your Individual Profile setup is and why.

I'm 90% in Individual mode with the rest in Cupra mode when I want to have proper fun!

My Individual setup is:-

DCC - Comfort (best balance for british roads)
Steering - Normal (got a bad shoulder :cry:)
Engine - Comfort (nudge the DSG into Sport if I want to overtake)
Front diff lock - Cupra (Not sure what the difference is TBH)
ACC - Sport (don't like to leave big gaps and and hold people up behind me)
Air Conditioning - Normal (tends to mist up otherwise)

Well I'm your poor cousin in an FR184:
Steering normal (sport mode to stiff)
Engine in sport mode (can't really tell that much difference but if I wanted 'Eco' I'd have bought a 1.6 TDI
Air con: normal
Ambient lighting 'red'

In my FR 180:

DCC : Comfort
Engine : Sport
Steering : Normal
Air con: Normal
And of course red ambient.

Sometimes I stay in Normal mode, just because the button is not burning my eyes with that yellow light.

290 - Mostly in comfort around town with a flick to S-manual for the exhaust pops :)

Cupra when I want to be a bit racey on some roads

Individual is set to ECO just in case I want it but I rarely do :D

Steering. Sport
Engine. Normal.
Aircon. Normal.

Having the engine in sport mode is highrevs and late gear changes, feels clumsy. Wish they would have done some more in regards of throttle response in sport.

ST Cupra 290 manual on light 18"

A to B duty with passengers: comfort mode
By myself: individual with engine in comfort, DCC in sport, Diff and steering in Cupra, ESP sport
Or if on enjoyable road: All cupra and ESP sport (high speed) or off.

Light 18" wheels shift DCC approx one step towards comfort in each mode so now Cupra is usuable even on very bumpy roads while maintaining excellent grip.

Cupra 290 DSG

Mainly Cupra mode, shifting between 'Drive' and paddle gear
Individual is configured to use ECO ... tried few times but I'm not a fan
