The Cupra (Black) Lease thread
Discussion
Had mine for a week and it is brilliant, gone for DSG.
Hardwired the dashcam and installed HEKO wind deflectors.
Found it very easy to drive in ECO in traffic (reminds me of Toyota hybrids)
Makes me smile every time I dive it properly.
Also, speedo is only 1mph out up to 50mph and 2 at 70mph.

Looks great! Where did you get the wind deflectors and were they easy to fit? Hardwired the dashcam and installed HEKO wind deflectors.

Could not send you an e-mail, so hopefully will not break forum rules by posting here.
got them of ebay, search for: SEAT LEON mk3 5-doors 2013-onwards Hatchback 4pc Wind Deflectors Heko Tinted. about 30£ delivered.
They are in channel ones and very easy to fit, they have some double-sided tape on them and come with metal clips (look on youtube for installation).
I did not use the clips yet, I added more double-sided tape and they hold for now.
Have them on the other car and they are very useful.

Thanks. I'm going to order some tonight after having the window open this morning and a load of water pouring in on the elec window switches. got them of ebay, search for: SEAT LEON mk3 5-doors 2013-onwards Hatchback 4pc Wind Deflectors Heko Tinted. about 30£ delivered.

Mine is shocking in all modes, I've averaged 20.8 mpg over 1500 miles so far.
Wow, how hard do you drive it? Mine is on about 2k miles now and I do about 50/50 split of traffic commute vs. longer motorway journeys and average has settled around 29. Really enjoying the car but now the roads are greasier/colder, the traction or lack of it is much more apparent, right up through third gear and sometimes fourth. The occasional axle tramp is annoying too.
I am now 10 months into my Cupra Black lease and despite a couple of minor issues (dodgy door seal and rattling sound actuator - both now sorted) I am loving the car... One major issue is that due to a job change I am now nearly 12,500 miles into my 10K a year lease. I know that there is an excess mileage to pay but I seem to recall that you can sometimes negotiation on this with VWFS. Does anyone have any experience of doing this?

Yeah, in a similar situation to yours, although from 10k/pa to I reckon 22k/pa at the moment. Phoned SEAT(VWFS) up and asked for a quote which they post to you ffs, but worked out at 5.33 ppmile which is cheaper than the 7.2ppm it would have been at the end of the contract. Also £60 admin fee. They bumped up my last 13 months payment to reflect. Also, can't recommend Tesco momentum fuel enough, now on a lifetime av of 35.5mpg and getting a good 50-75 extra miles out of a tank.

I've had mine (DSG in black) for about 6 weeks and I love it. It does drink the fuel much quicker than my previous car, a 320d effecientdynamics, but the tank is smaller as well. I might try that Tesco Momentum 99, the only problem is the nearest Tesco is 12 miles away.
Performance wise, its amazing. I haven't done much motorway driving, just mainly around the doors and a few longer runs of a couple of hours on single and dual carriageways. It wasn't great in the ice we had the other morning, but I've just got to get used to not pressing the accelerator as much.
I like the Android Auto link thing, its pretty good being able to use Google Maps and Waze, along with Spotify and Deezer rather than the built in navigation which is rubbish in any car.

50-75 miles from a tank ? Also, can't recommend Tesco momentum fuel enough, now on a lifetime av of 35.5mpg and getting a good 50-75 miles out of a tank.

Sounds more like 3.5 mpg
