IS THE 2019 SEAT LEON CUPRA THE ULTIMATE HOT HATCH?!

THE ALL NEW SEAT LEON CUPRA 290 VLOG. ENJOY :)
A Big thanks from the S7R & KamVisual's Team to all whom took part :)

I've got one in desire red paint. I really love the car. Its not a car you buy to be seen in, its the car you buy to drive. The fun begins above at least 60mph. And below 40mph dont event put it in cupra mode, it just spins the tires. It feels so light and agile and when you put the traction control in sport mode it really lets you have fun! I once took my friends girlfriend for a drive (and he drives a WRX STi 2018) and she really went nuts about my cupra (shook for 15 minutes afterwards telling me I'm crazy). I don't think I could have as much fun or acceleration in subaru, when I drove it it felt so heavy, complicated and slow responding. And I drove many 90's hot hatches like 205GTI, renault 19 16V, golf mk2 gti, bmw's, so its not like its just the seat's fancy new tech. However, the steering does feel a bit numb in cupra. This may be one of last true hot hatches ever. And I got it for a price of an A3 1.6TDI (25000 euros, tax free with DSG and a lot of options)

This is a really good video here I'm thinking of buying one of these and you have managed to answer a lot of the questions that I would ask also explaining in detail how to configure that digital display, I think they look a lot better than the golf, people say to me get a golf R but I love the shape of these.

[@sultan7r144]

Having owned a MK7 Golf R - i felt like i had the complete package with the four wheel drive system! However having driven the Cupra 290, I came to realise that the front wheel drive system was really not that far off in terms of handling, and if anything it is delivering power quicker to the front wheels, then the case with the Golf R and distributing power to all four. In terms of shape, the car is sleek and stylish, not screaming out in terms of aesthetics such as the Civic type R for example, yet still providing a complete performance package. Im looking forward to CUPRA's next move :)

[@NormIsTheName]

@@sultan7r144 my Cupra R MK2 was 279hp with an intake too when it was meant to be 265 from stock. I think he was wrong about the differential as well. It only has an electronic diff not a mechanical one. I had to buy a wavetrac mechanical diff for my MK2 and it completely changed the car with cornering 😋

[@henrybreen]

love the editing bro, gonna sub. randomly just found this vid as im getting this cupra! made me even more excited

[@TOBvlog]

Love this video Leon Cupra has always been the car I’ve wanted! Don’t even know why but when my man MIF says this at 9:40 it just makes me laugh 😂

[@BobbyDrives]

Great video! Really good bro, keep them coming!

[@GhostStPatrick_]

The turbo is the IS38 turbo in the golf R, Leon Cupra and Audi S3. IS20 turbo is in the Golf GTI and Audi S1. The IS12 turbo is in the Polo GTI and Seat Ibiza cupra (2016/66). Great vid lads👍🏽.

[@peterbennpan7288]

Carlton Banks these is38 turbos are weak and badly designed! 1 in 20 of the cars that share the is38 turbo have turbo failure! Read up on it!

[@GhostStPatrick_]

Peter benn pan, yeah I know about the bad batch of turbos. I never said anything about how weak they were or anything like that. My original comment was just to clear up which type of turbo was in the Leon Cupra. In the video he didn’t even know what turbo was on his car? I made the comment about which turbo was in his car so owner and other people know. I listed all the others aswell which are all VAG group just in case people were interested.

[@peterbennpan7288]

Carlton Banks im not having a go or anything or trying to make a point. I have a Cupra 280 st 2015 and i got it all prepared for a remap. I got full service with motor sport engine oil turbo technics intake hose and a bmc panel filter. Went to r tech to get a stage 1 remap and they advised me not to get it done due to excessive play in the turbo shaft. Im pissed off and gutted. Now im planning on getting shut of the car because ive had nothing but problems with it. I dont even drive the car hard or only now and then in short bursts. Also the front diff failed and seat had it for over 5 weeks

[@georgekyriacou9331]

Had one for year and a half now will always put a smile on your face apart from the daily trips to shell

[@tonio7112]

hahahahahah i got my 69 plate cupra 2 weeks ago and couldn't agree more

[@cupra2Jock.]

I've done 415miles since last Friday and spent £260 in juice 🤣 anything that moves on the road I want smoke with I need to chill.

[@RANDOM-le6en]

So glad i have the 2018 one, the sound is amazing

[@safegaming3574]

Great vid bro!!! Keep the content up!

[@ozhangunes1492]

Getting mine end of August. This video is perfect for new owners.

[@src2251]

Good video boys, need more videos on new cupra 290!! Quite, not load! Blow you off road!🥊🥊👌👍😁😎😎😎

[@harmvissers3353]

Awesome video dude!

[@joshmancini9673]

7:48 this 390...bro it’s a 290 Enjoying the video guys, while owning one myself I thought it was slightly more than 290bhp and you having it dyno 310 is amazing. It is literally a 2 wheel drive golf r

[@paulashton4819]

Awesome review guys

[@HaydenHayder]

Amazing 👌🔥

[@sultan7r144]

Appreciate that Hayden! Can’t wait for our Collab

[@carlholmstrom2738]

Is the exhaust noise standard from the white one? Just awaiting delivery of mine but I have heard mixed reviews on the pops/bangs and DSG farts!

[@christopherdowns2835]

Great video, although a year on I'm looking to get one but think this model has ended now and awaiting the new model which will be considerably higher in cost. Any good lease deals out there for 2020 models?? Or is a loan the best way

[@kdot9343]

Sam how long did you have to wait for your cupra and which dealership did you get it from? I ordered one from brum in july and still hasn't arrived

[@nastuklastuk]

I lov Cupra👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jrlee1072]

More did you get the copper paddles from.

[@toadscrote123321]

Just ordered an Urban Silver one, comes early March.

[@lucadima9898]

Have you got some interior vibration?

[@fedeaventador]

so little views for an amazing content and cars!!!

[@mevinalphonse3546]

😍

[@Tpviper]

Great informative vid guys. Really honest review. You are correct regarding the 310/315bhp in standard form. I have a 19Plate in metallic grey. When i took it for its first service, i asked the mechanic who did mine about the power issue? He just looked at me and said, the EA888 engine is a beast and they are all the same power from the S3, to the Golf R, to the Cupra 290. He also told me they have exactly the same mapping in the Ecu also. I love my Cupra by the way. Its so discreet and it certainly surprises a lot of so called performance cars. Good job again guys. Keep up the great work 👍

[@thepeller210]

Nah mate, on my 2nd Cupra and my old 280 only put out 265ps (260hp) The new 290 before my upgrades put out 276ps (270hp) I run the car on V-power. To be honest my better half runs a PP GTi and there's not much in it

[@tomwebb5420]

Might be a good idea for him to have his seat belt on at the beginning haha

[@steviegibbonsfitness2769]

I'm only 43 seconds into this video but I've had to pause it and say thank you for making this video... because mine gets delivered this friday, exact same as ya boys, the white one on the 69 plate, and I've fuckkng struggled to find any decent videos our there on this car! Hopefully your video is a banger!

[@saamonlinee7259]

STEVIE GIBBONS FITNESS Congrats, cars ace mate you will love it. Any questions let mr S7R know and we will try and help you out 👍🏼

[@sultan7r144]

Legend 👊🏼 very kind words, motivation to continue thanks Stevie 😄

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Got to say , theres some tempting lease deals on these. Seriously considering it for next time.

[@rann94]

Good vid bro very informative! Do you know where the res delete was done?

[@src2251]

How do you get the coloured cupra logo on the digital dash?? Next to the speedo? I have same cupra 290 bronze badge, mine doesn't have it and can't get any info on how put it on? Thanks😃

[@m-dizzle4827]

Wrap maybe 🤷‍♂️ aint that difficult

[@Ianw236]

The white one will get louder after a few k miles on it. Are you gonna revisit ?

[@KING0SISQO]

Brum location. As I was writing it he said it lol. These cars are a beast. I nearly bought a cupra. Still might.

[@muckspreader1able]

Handy for getting away from the Rotherham police 🤣

[@hamzachaudhary7856]

What colour would you go for ? Black or White ?

[@sultan7r144]

Hamza Chaudhary oooh I would defo go for a Stealthy Black look 🏎💨💨

[@peterbennpan7288]

Its got the same engine as the Golf R EA888 with IS38 turbo

[@hamzachaudhary7856]

Bro ive got mine coming soon inshallah would love to get my car on your vid

[@sultan7r144]

Hamza Chaudhary Of course 😁 Join us on next Cupra adventure!

[@Lmbarrett83]

Cupra 380nm vs Golf 400nm torque. The cupra is lighter. Brand new the cupra is a good lease car as the discounts are huge compared to VW and Audi. It's not smoking a golf on a launch due to the traction. You can't just plant your foot in a cupra.

[@georgekyriacou9331]

Bro IV raced like 5 golf Rs in my 290 And done all of them no cap

[@mehtabhussain6104]

Cupras don’t have an LSD, they have a clutch system in the differential, acts just like an LSD without the downsides of an LSD

[@adamchase1517]

Off the line these cars just spin the front wheels like mad

[@maciejzajac2935]

4drive that's what that both cars are missing ;)

[@Ianw236]

On prices you can pick up a low mileage 4 month old 290 for £22990 from the Main dealer

[@ResevoirGod]

Or just lease it for £250 a month

[@calbo555]

@@ResevoirGod Then give it back for nothing. Personal loan wins over lease

[@ResevoirGod]

@@calbo555 Nope. A lot of the time a lease will cost less than the depreciation. Personal loan only works out if you get a very good interest rate and you plan to keep the car for a long time. Those who lease obviously don’t want that

[@adamchase1517]

Leon, Golf & A3 are identical just with different panels and interior. The higher up you go the more you pay!

[@thepeller210]

Audi and Golf have Aluminium subframes and better suspension components aswell as braking systems

[@bafattvahetere]

@@thepeller210 Audi build some of their cars in Hungary not Germany.

[@rogermanvell4693]

Good video but you need to get out of the city centre.

[@rodgersmith3215]

lol talking about horse power whilst sitting in heavy traffic!! :-)

[@oliver3699]

Being a bit rude to the guy mate, very condescending

[@naturallyawesome6723]

Absolutely not 😂 Cupra’s are only driven by fuckbois who think they’re kings of the road, where in reality they’ll get burned by many cars
