That's good about the seats. Thanks to those who confirmed. It's good to hear they are low too, in my current f31 335d you can sit very low which I prefer.

I saw a dynamic grey and thought it looked a little blue for my liking so went with the ice silver. Should look like this...

The ST looks great in ice silver. I went for monsoon grey but wish I'd gone for the silver

The demo I've got is Dynamic Grey. I'm not being unkind when I describe it as Metallic Primer. It's an acquired taste but I like it thumbup

build slot confirmed for next week (37) and have an order number!

is 4 weeks a realistic turn around time after it gets built?

I've test driven a 280. Only had about 30 minutes in it, but just from that time I knew it was a great car. 290 black is a touch different so looking forward to having it for 2 years moving forward! Just wish I was getting mine soon but based on what I've read, it's likely to be end of November, if not December.

......Also, I still haven't seen one on the road. They're ultra rare, certainly around where I am from. I do see a lot of Golf R's (probably because of the amazing lease deals 2 years ago), so perhaps we'll see less Golf R's and many more Cupra's when all our lease cars get delivered!

Week 37 was this week starting 12th Sept. Mine is week 38 which is Monday 19th. Maybe yours has already been built and on the boat?

Also ordered blind, tried to arrange a test drive but no one phoned me back and the transfer window was slamming shut.

I ordered my Golf R blind. Turned out well.

I had looked at the Cupra at a dealership before ordering but hadn't driven one. Figured it would be more of the same (just a 2wd Golf R) so ordered it blind as well. Since spent a bit of time in one and it pretty much is a as I expected. Few more scratchy plastics in the centre console than i would ideally want but at this price I'm not grumbling. I'm looking forward to playing with the bits this car has that my R doesn't. The main 2 being DSG and DCC. It'll also be interesting to see if Cupra mode is more aggressive than Race mode in the Golf. I also compared the Golf to an S3 and the dynamic mode in it didn't feel anywhere near as focussed as Race mode in the Golf.

Am I one of the only people who have ordered a Cupra 290 without test driving it first or have others ordered theirs blind too?

I'm not even sure if I've seen a Cupra 290 black on the roads or seen a dynamic grey Cupra in the metal.
I have not driven or even sat in one. I will be surprised if it's not half decent #leapoffaith
Nope... Same here... Ordered mine 2 weeks ago based on a steer from my elder brother smile

Was going down the route of a Golf R estate but the deal I got from Seat Peterborough is saving me £2400 over the 2 year so it was a now brainer to go for the Cupra Black. Gone for Dynamic Grey 5dr Manual... Just counting down the days smile. Due mid to late Novemeber.

Realistically based on timelines I've seen and assuming it's a confirmed build week, you'll be looking at w/c 24th Oct for delivery.

Mine's also getting built this week. I was told 3 weeks from the build date by the dealer, so I'm hoping it'll arrive sometime week commencing the 10th Oct.

Looking forward to seeing it as I still haven't seen a dynamic grey one out on the road!

Got confirmation mine is due to be build week 24th Oct for delivery around end of Nov.

I've still yet to see what dynamic grey looks like, although the dealership is getting a cupra 290 in next they say i can test drive smile

When did you order yours?

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago through central and am yet to hear about a build week....

Hi mate, I ordered mine about three weeks ago. Originally it was a black edition which would have come later but there was some cock up and they couldn't secure a black 3-door so the dealer offered me a standard 290 that was already in the build queue as I didn't want a 5 door.

Have central confirmed you've definitely got one?

Ah right, not a bad result in the end then. Central said about 10-12 weeks from order so I reckon I'm looking at end of Nov early Dec delivery.

I assume so, they have taken the admin fee and said they would update in due course. I bloody hope I have a slot! I would be gutted if I don't!

Mine was built last week and apparently on the way to the docks in Spain where it gets shipped to the UK.
