Cupra Born

You mean it doesn't come with floor mats?

When I bought my ID.3 they were mentioned as included as per the spec sheet, the same when I bought my Model 3.

For a new car you might need to submit paperwork or have the dealer email your insurance company as the car might not be on their system. Liberty wanted an email from the dealer because they didn't have the Highline spec of the Mk7.5 Golf on their system even though the car was out 5 months at that stage.

I believe the charger grant can only be applied for once you have the VIN.

If you're asking for floor mats keep in mind there's grey, blue and rubber ones so just ask for the right ones. Mud flaps too. The phone charger cable that press cars have would be nice too as they're nice and short and it has Android and iPhone on it. I just don't have high hopes for freebies after being told I could get something at cost price when I asked if they could throw in a cup or a hat, I wouldn't actually bother paying for something like that haha.

Happy days! When did you place your order?

I wonder how long it takes to go from port to dealer.

I ordered mine in February before the ordering system officially even opened. Still not a peep

@DaveyDave going by one of your earlier posts we appear to be dealing with the same garage. Therefore I assume I'm the one before you waiting on a build date as it looks like I ordered just a couple of days before you. Keep us posted please!

I confirmed my order in April but it was for one of the last pre-ordered cars that was already in the garages allocation for 2022 so didn't get to be too specific on my options but the specs that they had built in all suited me anyway.

Will be interesting to see how long it actually takes having left the factory to arriving in the dealer alright. No real indication yet of specific date.

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of ordering one of these gorgeous cars.. The test drive went really well. Its the first Hatch EV I've really liked but no surprise there - longtime Leon driver here. Has anyone ordered the eboost? Also, is the heatpump a necessity? Sorry complete newbie to EBS here. I won't see this car until god knows when next year so want to be sure. Even at that, if the budget in October changes anything dramatically grant/VRT wise or Cupra raise prices again, I'll be out. Dealer has been great in that regard. Best of luck to you all getting your new wheels. I'm so jealous 😊

Ditto on the Feb order and no build date yet.

A 58KW in Red with Pan roof and 19in alloys. I really like the look of the Ref with the bronze details.

To be fair, the dealer had ordered the car at the beginning of the year but just hadn't sold it yet. Once it fit the bill for what I was after I said I'd jump at it.

Yeah the brochure is crap. The car comes with lane assist as standard but there's no mention of lane keep assist. The Pilot M+ pack is unavailable, it's supposed to have the more advanced stuff like surround cameras, exit assist, blind spot monitoring etc.

Car2X is some sort of technology that pings off other Car2X enabled cars to get information, I think it's for traffic info and the like but I'm not sure if it's used or any good. It's been 2 years since the new Golf/ID.3 and I haven't seen anyone mention it.

Intelligent park assist is self parking, identified by the extra parking sensors on the wheel arches. I had it in my Mk7.5 Golf and it works well. It will be interesting to see if the Born gets the updated software that the ID.3 is getting where it can remember a parking space at home.

I was told when I test drove one this week there's a 3% price rise coming for 231 cars.

I've asked the dealer (Barry's in Limerick) to requote the PCP based on a e-boost, which with comes with the nice seats I want as standard, plus the HUD in addition to Pilot M+. We'll see how much more it'll cost.....
