The MPG while on the motorway was amazing
One of the best car's in the VAG group. My company got a leon FR and I immediately went out and bought the 2019 Cupra ST 4drive. Interior controls and infotainment all just make sense. it's the perfect layout. Fun to drive as well.
Awesome video dude! your script is spot on. well done
This is the amazing Leon Cupra of Seat best powerful for ever!!!
That mpg is crazy.
I owned a Cupra 300 and drove 130 miles to Bangor in wales and used less than a quarter of a tank of fuel….. superb on fuel but if you put your foot down then you will see the mpg drop massively….. it is hard not to put your foot down in these cars😂
This was really informative, thanks for making the video. I'm in the market for a cupra at the moment. I currently own a 2019 fr sport which I a quick car but the cupra looks a different animal!
I liked it a lot, thanks for sharing it, greetings from Just Driving 4k 🥰🥰🥰
Great video right on point
I never expected to love mine so much, mine is the later 290. I’ve just extended my lease to 4 years, it’s not mapped but on a roll next to my brothers 7.5 r the cupra takes it every time (in the dry),ps4s’s really made the car much much better in the wet. The standard contis just couldn’t cope with the power. Great review really enjoyed it so just subbed . Cheers
Are you allowed to remap a leased car if you were to take off the remap before giving it back?
@@LIVEXCLIPS depends on the lender, i was aloud to mod my cupra ateca as much as i wanted to as long as i reverted it back to how they gave it me
Have you handed it back yet? And if so what did you replace it with? :)
@@anthonymeek4248 just extended the lease for the 2nd time now!! Hopefully I’ll get a stage 1 done soon and enjoy it even more.
I have 280 cupra and I love it; had from new and has 350bhp now. My son likes the fake noise but I didn't so I disconnected the sound box. My fourth Cupra, and a great around car.
Fast forward to (nearly) xmas 2022, and I have just ordered my 2019 Cupra. Belive it or not going from a BMW I3S - cot of electric making it more expensive than petrol!
Went for the DSG with non-lux as I prefer standard over bucket seats.
Thanks for the video - great to see. Really whets my appetite :)
How you getting on still? I'm about to pull trigger on a used 2019 cupra
great affordable machine 🔥🔥🔥
Much better value than VW or Audi. I picked one of these up from Dorset couple of years ago, nearly new. I was working for a prestige dealer at the time. Anyway, had to detour via middle of Wales to head north, it was dark and snowing. I actually thought it had AWD at the time by the way it gripped. Even my passenger asked is it AWD and I remember saying yes, thank f..k in this weather. For a FWD car with this power, im very impressed. Im after a good solid daily driver with plenty power and auto box and for £20k or less can get a one owner example with low miles. Absolute bargain.
Mint car. I have the 300 Manual and it’s rapid when you put your foot down.
you mention in the video the VAG diff? but this car is FWD what do you mean by VAG diff? You on about the LSD at the front?
Hi Tom, was this the cupra 290 or 300 model? Does it have a stock exhaust? It sounded great for a gpf car, great video! 👍
2019 290 so has a gpf. Only mod to the exhaust is a VAG Sport resonator delete. Glad you like it!
A 280 as a family daily. Top car but a bit less fun as my previous megane 3 rs 265 cup.
Thanks for the in-depth review. Just wondering if this is right LUX version? Thanks again
This is just the standard version. Lux version gets full leather seats among other things.
Hi,
Awesome video, very helpful information.
I’m in the market for one. But I don’t understand the different between the 290hp model and 300hp model. Looking at one 290hp year 2019, the 300hp is year 2018.
What model you prefer?
Thanks in advance
Many people prefer to go with 290 nowadays. On a dunk the 290 still achieves around 300hp
Need to stage 1 mine asap after seeing this. Absolutely love my Leon agree with everything you have said - the wind noise i don’t notice but if that’s the only thing to put you off turn on the radio?
it depends what car you came from but i came from an audi a5 which is why the wind noise was noticeable for me. Definitely get used to it after a while though.
Great review, didn’t think economy is this good, impressive. Can you switch off the fake sound tho ?
you can but you need an OBD scanner to do it, like a carista.
@@ParagonCarsLondon Nice to hear, cheers mate, really enjoy your content
Never understand why people want to turn off the sound. It sounds cool as it is, and boring in comfort mode when it's not activated
they way you said chorizo was the most tilting thing iv heard on CZcams to date
Does the Cupra not come with a reversing camera?
not as standard no
@@ParagonCarsLondon does the 290 Lux? I’m looking at getting a 2020 lux model next September, 7k insurance atm or £2800 in September😅
@@stephenbroadstock76 i’m fairly sure the lux model has it yes.
@@ParagonCarsLondon really looking forward to owning one, mystery blue is the best colour imo
Is it faster than a golf r 2020
Not the new golf r no.
@@ParagonCarsLondon I not gonna lie I like the cupra more
Adaptive dampers and dcc isn't standard on all leon cupras, i have the same one and mine doesn't have that, it was optional extra
Are you in the UK? All uk cupras come with DCC (dynamic chassis control) as standard. You can check by going into the individual drive settings.
@@ParagonCarsLondon Yep the uk mate, sorry i just checked when i go into invidual settings dcc only has 2 options, comfort and cupra, steering options are normal and cupra, however while driving the only difference that i can notice is the steering is lighter in comfort mode than in cupra, can't feel anything different anywhere else
@@antop4597 Now that is strange. The DCC setting should have, normal, sport and cupra and you should feel a pretty big difference between settings. What year is your cupra?
@@ParagonCarsLondon 2020, not sure if it's because my model is the EZ version and not the lux, but yea the only difference between all the settings is the steering, even in eco/comfort it's not actually that much lighter than sport/cupra
@@antop4597 Even the no option EZ version should get all those settings, i'd go to your nearest dealer as the car might have the wrong software on it.
I have a 69 plate 290 (GPF model). Stage 1 map with intake/eblow joint at 388ps which makes it insane.
Be prepared to use a lot of rubber tough and setting off from the lights requires some finesse.
I found the comfort mode better than my FR model I had. I dont use Cupra, fake sound is annoying and ride is not for road use lol.
individual is the way to go, i use everything in full attack apart from the engine, which i leave in sport
@@ParagonCarsLondon Yeah I use Individial. Comfort on suspension/steering for my daily commute and the engine in sport, flicking the gearbox between normal and sport as and when I need it.
My drive home however is full sport mode as I purposefully drive around country lanes for fun lol.
I get 41mpg on the morning and more like 26 on the way home lol. Averages out at 32ish but thats my choice, I need that fake sound taken out next time I get the ECU looked at, same goes for rev limiter.
I found however the car got louder the more i drove it, ive done 17k in the 14 months I've owned it and I dont think I need the res delete, will probably still get it lol.
Couldnt agree more with everything you said in the video. Ive surprised a lot of cars with more power with just how quick this car is on the roll, the PS4S tyres really help it dig its heels in.
Launching it isnt its strong point as youd expect.... lol
get obd11 and disable the sound actuator (fake noise), ps4s and dogbone mount fixes alot of the traction issues (wheel hop), mines a 300 ( non gpf) with a custom 3" catback non res, its valved, which i can open/close on button press, theres some shorts on my account with sound
@@autozoomies yeah already been through 2 PS4S tyres, got 16k miles out of them lol.
Knew about the dogbone mount but heard that it causes some vibration / noise at idle so havent jumoed for it yet as I commute 32 miles a day.
Almost out of the 3 year warrenty so when it comes I will be changing intake & elbow, turbo muffler, intercooler and scorpion de-res 76mm cat back exhaust coupled with a custom stage 1 ECU map to take all fo that into account, dogbone mounts will probably be added at this point.
Been saving up for it since I bought the car lol.
@@JP_RS6 there is some vibration at first start and when switching to reverse although it's getting less as time goes on (only had the mount for 1 month)
Nice review but get out of the middle lane!
Analogy stolen from car wow, Ik ur from London but come on, wheres your Harvard references Tom
