Thanks

Sorted this via the online brochures:

- Bucket seat (heated)
- 19" multispoke wheels
- "Black" styling kit

Are the buckets as wide as the regular seat?

This is a picture I took when in the dealer last week, this was an unregistered Black edition, so the same as ours.

Thanks - they look like a standard seat with extended bolstering.

I am now seeing whether my prop gets accepted as the prices shot up overnight!!

The bucket seat were the thing that swayed me to the Cupra over another Golf R. I have very few complaints about my Golf R but the seats are top of the list. They are utter gash for a car with that performance. Slightly too wide and soft as ste so when you do lean on the bolsters they just give up. I have to say the seats in the standard Cupra look very similar to the crappy ones in the Golf.

Car also comes with boost gauge, power meter (kw) and g-force meter which is displayed via the touchscreen. A nice little novelty...

As a fellow Golf R driver (2 months left on my cheapo lease), I wholly agree - the bolsters are rubbish and the right hand side of the drivers side has almost collapsed.

They are a bit of foam with a wire through the middle - next to no support given when pressing on.

Has anyone who ordered through a lease broker had any more info after paying the admin fee? I paid mine on to CVL last week but heard nothing more.

[nunpuncher]

Yes. I got an email from CVL confirming the details of my order. I'll double check the title of the email and what it contains when i reach the studio. I just scanned it to check model, options and colour were correct.

[Joeseppi]

Ok, think I'll give them a call and find out.

[NeoVR]

Still no update for me.. Ill chase again today

I've just looked through my emails from Keith at CVL and when he emailed me to ask me to pay the admin fee he also said that mine was on order but haven't had an order number from CVL I don't think.

[nunpuncher]

Just checked my emails and I sent the signed order confirmation to them and paid the admin fee on the 6th. The email i received on the 8th was an invoice for the admin fee and confirmation that payment had been made. This email and the attached PDF does has a "Your order has been placed with the dealership" statement.

I'm not that concerned. When I ordered my Golf i signed the order, paid my admin fee then basically didn't hear a thing from the company for 5 months. Everyone on the Golf forum had an online tracking number so could see their cars progressing through build. When I asked my supplier for one they just said they wouldn't supply the tracking number. That was a hell of a long wait as i was driving a crumbling old Citroen Picasso that had only cost £900 while I waited. At least this time i'll suffer the wait in a nice car.

Asked CVL about my order as well today, situation:

Written confirmation that all is well but still no admin fee taken or paperwork beyond signing the initial agreement form.

I asked today about next steps anddd:

Good Afternoon, Our Admin department will be in contact soon, I will pass on any info once its passed through

Many Thanks

[jonwm]

I wouldn't worry, I've not heard from the dealer since I was there Thursday, last email just says basically it has been ordered.

With all my company cars I used to get a weekly automated update with progress and stage, I don't expect that from a dealer system but you boys might get that going through a lease company.

First Vehicle Leasing seem to be offering good deals on the Cupra Black still, the standard Cupra is also available for a few quid more monthly. These are hatch only though , the ST Cupras are a fair bit more.
Had I known this before going with CVL I might have gone for the standard Cupra as I prefer the alloys to the 'Black' wheels.

CVL still have the deal on the non DSG model one too, must have got rid of the allocation of DSG's

I dont like the cupra wheels, it was the balck wheels that really persuaded me this was the opne to go for, i was hesitant on the normal Cupra about 6 weeks ago, same price pretty much as this deal, so glad i never committed.

Not sure about you lot but i keep looking at the leasing deals now, worried for the next 2 years a better deal will come out

How much better could they realistically get? A £31000 car costing circa £5400 (in my case) over two years is pretty outstanding value.

VAG seem to be really going at it with their lease deals at present for whatever reason (possibly to support volume and avoid any negative 'vw lose volume after scandal' stories?) so I would be very surprised if the deals could get any better.
