I went and bought the Cupra Formentor. I love how it drives, sounds and makes me feel - it definitely is an occasion to drive each time. It does however gather so much attention from other road users or when parked. Most don’t know what it is or assume it is more exotic than it actually is. I am not sure if I am being paranoid but some drivers also seem to act more erratic around it and will try race the car. Of course I am happy to oblige to maintain good relations….

Fantastic cupra best car I've owned from A35 /T-roc R

An action packed day of filming that I thoroughly enjoyed, I quite like these twin test formats! Thanks for having me back once again 👍🏼

Although the Cupra Formentor is classed as an SUV I see it more like a crossover between a hatchback and an SUV. I love the styling of it, I fell in love with this car as soon as I saw in the flesh. I have not had a chance to drive one yet.

Hi Ronnie, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. Yes, I'd also class it more as crossover than an SUV as it's designed to sit between the Cupra Leon and the Cupra Ateca.

Both of you are so entertaining and good to listne to ! Love to learn more from both of you about cars !

Really great watch thanks, you are both informative and entertaining! I am due to move from Leon FR 190 2019 dsg (luv it, esp with map to 252hp), seriously considering VZ2 Formentor 310. Test drove the VZ2 hybrid 245 - underwhelmed++ This video helped me make up my mind - VZ2 formentor 310 4wd it is then. Last petrol hurrah before electric switch in 4 yrs time 😁

The Cupra Formentor VZ is a fabulous family car, I tried finding something that fits 4 adults, has enough boot space yet isn't boring to death like most cars in this class that have a reasonable price tag on them. The only complaints are the underwhelming 'premium' beats audio system and that VW group software is a bit buggy and shit compared to android based 60fps smooth and stable experience you get on a Volvo etc. But that applies to everything VW makes, skoda, audi, alike. There IS the option also for the Cupra Leon Sportstourer which was my original first choice but they had none available with exactly the spec I wanted and I found a slightly driven formentor VZ with almost everything in it for a really good price. Ultimately happy aside from software issues and boy it's super fun to drive every time.

I reckon be group should utilize their inhouse 2.5 5 cyl to may be golf and cupras ...there's no point in reserving it for RS3 s that won't even sell that well ...

Haha like what you did there with the "assistant". Not a fan of the formentor as I'm not into SUVs, but I would always prefer a manual rather than a faster car if that makes sense.

As you know I'm not the biggest fan of SUVs, but there is just something about the Formentor that just stands out from the rest I think the styling and it's one off body shell (not taken from a run off the mill SEAT) make it feel special along with the epic performance Thanks for watching and supporting! 👍🏼
