Re: What other Electric Cars have you driven?

Other car is a Model 3... excellent car in the process of being ruined with software updates. Zoe - Sounds like a UFO, it's generally okay but kept banging my head on the roof when I got out. MG ZS EV - Okay, but feels overly cheap MG4 - Pleasantly surprised, feels nice inside and drives/handles wel...

Re: Updated Software & Small Screen Changes?

I have that, not sure if I am on 3.1 or not (collected 10 days ago). To see that stuff, I wipe left on the View button next to the volume control on the steering wheel. You can have 3 displays I think. Assistants on the left and speed on the right, speed on the left and nav on the right, or speed on...

Re: Hi from Swindon... picking up next week.

I haven't even used that button yet, keep forgetting it's there. I thought I'd be in Performance/Cupra mode all the time, but have been happy with Comfort so far. Have been to Bristol today and the HUD with the sat nav was brilliant.

Re: It's here!

I've done 100 miles and I'm loving it so far. The interior of this and the Tesla are light years apart. I have got the hang of the buttons quite well, I have no problems other than my massive thumb mashing the SET and O/I button on the left side. That said, I agree that physical buttons are better; ...

Re: New born owner!

Welcome to the forum... I am a new member too. I picked mine up on Saturday and I bloody love it, it's brilliant(!) Heads up display is amazing and the eco driving thing is like witchcraft (it knows you are coming up to a roundabout and tells you to lift off, then it applies regenerative braking as ...

It's here!

The car's here and I love it, the interior is just a joy to sit in. I was a little concerned about lag in the Infotainment... it works just fine. I was also apprehensive about those mad steering wheel buttons... I don't get what the problem is, they work perfectly for me. I've tried to attach a few ...

Re: Rubber Mats

I bought these: https://seatdirectparts.co.uk/parts/cupra-born/accessories-cupra-born/cupra-born-all-weather-rubber-floor-mats/ Based on the suggestion of someone else on the forum here. Was a little apprehensive that these would be suitable for right hand drive cars but they're fine, and have the ...

Re: Hi from Swindon... picking up next week.

I'll give you a flash and a wave if I see you out and about. Got a V3 Rayleigh red here. I may have seen you... Were you heading up Thamesdown Drive on Wednesday? You would've seen a blur of blue/green on the other side of the road as I cruised past in the Zoe, nursing it with 2% battery. I used to...

Re: Hi from Swindon... picking up next week.

I'm sure you'll love the V2 E-Boost (we have 2, the extra 27ps is noticeable vs the 204ps unit I had in my ID3). All the "niggles" are very minor, and are mostly coming from people who are new to haptic buttons. After driving an ID3 for a year before swapping to teh Born, i'm more than us...
