Late to the party on this one, spoke to IMG today about lead times on an ST and he mentioned May/June which fits in well with the time I can hand my 1 Series back. Does anyone know of any dealers closer to MK that are still matching the offer? Happy to travel if needed, but Warrington is quite a trek from here.

Surely the car is delivered to you so it doesn't matter where you are, as you don't physically need to go to Warrington? I certainly hope so as I am considering ordering too and sounds like I am even further South than you!

Think I saw on one page earlier in the thread that they'd charge £1.50pm to deliver it, but happy to be proven wrong on that point smile

Pretty close, It's £1.50 per mile plus VAT. At that price I am picking mine up in person.

Hi guys,

Ordered a cupra 300 ST in mystery blue today (considering swapping it to eclipse orange already!)

Can anyone give me some info on the virtual cockpit? Any good?

Can the full link for android auto be retrofittted?

Been told april/may for delivery, should fly be. Insurance is cheaper than on the clio 200 cup that ill have to sell now for some reason!

Full Link should be standard on a Cupra 300 (I'm hoping to order one soon so got the brochure in front of me and certainly states it standard on FR trim and above)

Skip to 20.55 in the video below for a demo of the Seat digital cockpit, albeit in an Ateca. Looks good.

Can’t comment on the virtual cockpit but full link is standard. I’m quite impressed with the amount of standard tech they’ve thrown in. Even the ambient lighting in the doors with different colour schemes is a nice touch lol

After seeing the shocking deals on the Polo GTI, for the new 2018 model, and also needing a car to be ordered asap for late April delivery, i'm tempted to order a Leon Cupra 300 hatchback ASAP on the SEAT Warrington offer.

What are the standard colour options, at no cost? Or is metallic included? I'd prefer DSG but it's probably already more than i was willing to pay for a manual, but it's an absolute corker of a deal.

Metallic is included so you can choose any colour you like

Got caught out twice by the Leon not quite behaving as I'd expected this week. Or more accurately, user error.

First occasion was Monday morning. Thick frost on the car, cleared front and side windows, got in. Heated rear screen on, thought that would have the rear screen and mirrors sort before I'm even out my road. Little did I know that the mirror knob has to be turned to a fourth position that is very obvious from everywhere except the driver's seat!

And then today, I ran out of washer fluid. I can't remember the last time I had a modern car that didn't have a low washer fluid warning. Lazy of me not to check, I know but....

No washer warning, blind spot mirrors and side skirts annoy me quite a bit

Still a very accomplished car though, especially with these lease deals

Anyone got any pictures of the Orange in the wild? Google images isn't much help, they're all heavily-saturated shots from car shows or promotional materials it seems, so I can't get a feel for what it's like.

I cant find many pics anywhere, struggling to decide between that, monsoon grey or mystery blue!

There's a mk3 Leon group on Facebook, you could ask for owners pics on there perhaps.
