Haha glad I'm not the only one who got some aftermarket paddle shifters. So much nicer having metal ones than the tiny little plastic ones
When my lease comes up on this car I think I'm gonna go with the estate for the awd 0-60 launch and go for one with heated seats and sun roof. The car itself is great fun to drive but would just like a bit more space and a bit more acceleration now. I've got the same 245 petrol vz2

You can put the drive mode as widget on the homescreen for easier access

[@Cupra_Guy]

Yes you can ! But if you use CarPlay for maps you have to switch back to widgets before you change it and back to map again :(

I've seen quite a few videos where people have just bought the Seat Leon FR instead.
It's mostly the same car, but a lot, lot cheaper.

[@Cupra_Guy]

Perhaps it is. But this car is the equivalent to the GTI as it comes with turbo. And it’s a lot cheaper than it with much more spec.

Im driving a Cupra Leon myself and yes the touch bar is not illuminated at night but HOW often on earth is everyone changing the temperature??? When I received my car back in 2021 I set the temperature to 22 degrees and thanks to auto climate never changed it since then. Who is changing the temperature when auto climate is giving you perfect temperature in any condition. Don’t get why everyone is complaining about it. Set your temperature and leave it like that.

England has bipolar weather

[@felixnobauer769]

@@Cupra_Guy Germany as well. What does that have to do with the temperature inside the car ?

[@Sto79Be]

If the weather is hot I like to set it cooler, say 16 celecius. But if the weather is cold I like to set it warm, say 20 Celsius. If it’s average weather and outside temp and I’ve come out the gym, I don’t want it set to a typical 18 Celsius while I sit and sweat but rather ill put AC on 16 or lower. The point is this “set it and forget it” mentality is false.

@@Sto79Be 100% 👏🏼

[@felixnobauer769]

@@Sto79Be set it to 21-22 degrees, leave it like that and you’ll always be perfectly fine

I hate the cheap plastics on the doors. I have a rattle on passenger door from plastics.

[@Cupra_Guy]

100%. And no option for felt liner door bins :(

[@ItsUnbox_]

you're talking about a 12k difference between the formentor and the Leon and you're judging it because that dude........

[@jonasknorr3790]
